Journal #4 - The Otherside Weekend
All eyes on YugaLabs and their land sale but there are other projects too...
I'll start almost the same as last week…well, well, well, this was an expectedly eventful week(end) made by YugaLabs Otherside land mint. Yes, all eyes on apes and most of the other things seemed to slow down considerably. As I said before, it's not healthy to have one megalodon of a project shaking up NFT space like this, but it seems to be the price for being early.
Let's not get distracted by mega-hype and mega prices and let's focus on less-known projects with worthy missions. That's what Daily NFTs Minute is here for.
Which projects I talked about this week:
Five cool projects revisit from the previous 49 episodes (ep.#50)
This was a little 50th-anniversary edition and I decided to browse through the past 49 episodes and choose 5 projects which are still around and doing cool things. I'll keep it short here - check the episode for more content.
So here they come:
Rug Radio
Farokh and the team are building a decentralized Web3 media ecosystem.
Calladita Movie
Miguel Faus is aiming to create the first movie funded by NFTs.
GenomesDAO
This is the team of scientists building a biotech DAO focused on safe, private & auditable monetization of genomic data.
Robotos
This project for me is like a template of how PFP projects should be done.
Avril15
And Avril15 project is a template of how artists and small teams can and should build community and an art-focused project.

NeonPantheon (ep.#51)
NeonPantheon is a project of the fully doxxed team which is bringing experiential augmented reality, real interactive minting experience, and which promotes cultural diversity and inclusion.
The main plot is that Deities (NFTs) exist in a realm only accessible by Neonites (humans), worshippers of the Deities. Neonites are responsible for writing a story of your deity and spreading the word. Deities are unique and have traits that are inspired by different cultures and they are all genderless.
There are only 888 of them. There will be 8000 Ascended Deities (in the upcoming mint) – identified by their closed eyes, as a symbol that they have yet to find enlightenment. Big roadmap with e.g. plans for other projects to ascend their NFT soul into deity.

Fleeboys (ep.#52)
One of these projects where the team is visible everywhere on Spaces but the launch and mint still go are very slow. I like the mission of the project - to encourage young people (from NYC / Brooklyn) to get involved in positive activities such as arts and technology, instead of drugs, bullying, and mindless games.
Fleeboys NFTs are a 10k collection reflecting the fashion, style, culture, and community of NYC. This project is made and inspired by the mother and son story. And they are partnering with You Gotta Believe, an organization that helps teenagers in foster care find permanent families in NYC.

And that was it for this week! A busy and eventful week. Let's see what's coming at us next.
Take care and cheers!
