Upcoming Drops: May 22-28

Let’s face it: The NFT space moves really fast. Considering how quickly things can change in the metaverse, a week in NFTs might as well be a month IRL.

Don’t get us wrong — the more people onboarded into the space, the merrier. But because of the constant influx of great art and ideas, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with all the news, launches, and general happenings.

Well, you can put the days of endless Twitter and Discord scrolling behind you as we pull together a weekly list of upcoming NFT drops you definitely don’t want to miss. Here’s what to look out for this week.

Why: Formed in the childhood bedroom of creator Jess Wiseman and her brother Callum over a decade ago, Figuregot is a dynamic project said to be “inspired by the childlike joy of trading cards and collectibles.” The team (consisting of co-founders AliWinny, and the Wiseman siblings) devised a “reverse roadmap” concept to work on building partnerships and products before taking its digital collectible to mint. Figuregot will be giving each holder the opportunity to redeem a FigureGot Figurine for free. The brand’s goal is to use its IP to innovate in the fashion, streetwear, and tech spaces.
