SIMULACRA

• Price: 24-hour auctions starting at 0.02 ETH

• Supply: 15

• Mint date: Today at 1 PM ET

• Blockchain: Ethereum

A Foundation-curated art drop that combines two of the market’s favorite trends: Coinbase’s Base + AI.

The platform has been pushing AI art hard recently. This mint follows right after 1-887-AI-SUCKS, a drop that included a real phone number for AI haters to cry their hearts out and tell us how they really feel.

And today’s lineup is looking pretty good to me, featuring big hitters who I’ve pontificated about previously, including some who seldomly release work like PUBLIKFRUIT and more prolific artists like Roope Rainisto.

Blast City

• Price: Free

• Supply: 6,666

• Mint date: May 10

• Blockchain: Ethereum

• Link

Blast had a wobbly start a few months ago (they had an outage and some unfortunate exploits on popular projects), but the market’s interest in this ETH L2 has been reignited thanks largely to fantasy.top.

And this drop by OSF is further proof of that.

It’s a free mint for those deep in the Blast trenches, the ones treading into the onchain unknown, unafraid of the odd rug or two while hunting for that sweet sweet Blast Gold.

Project details are limited, but it’s a free mint from a reputable creator.

There might come a time when Ordinal debuts are scarce…today, however, is not that day.

The Art On Internet collective (AOI), most famous for recently curating Red Bull’s successful Velocity Series, is joining the Mother Chain for the first time with Elements, a 9-artist drop centered around…Iceland?

…Alexa, play the Icelandic Viking Clap…

More details should be announced in the coming weeks, but this curator has been on a roll for the past year so I’ve…

Project Animus Incubation

Technically this isn’t a drop, but I’m mentioning it because RTFKT was once one of the dominant PFPs in the land, especially among NFT boomers like me.

Approximately 3,000 crypto years after the Animus Eggs minted in November 2022, they are now set to reveal as their 3D, totally-not-Pokémon-like appearances following an incubation phase that launched yesterday.

This phase lasts 3 weeks, inviting holders to stake their eggs (and other RTFKT assets) to receive points that increase the rarity of the NFT revealed. You can sell your egg during incubation, but doing so resets the points counter.

The big question is…does anyone really care anymore?
