  • Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is experiencing its best month ever in terms of new registrations, account renewals, and income.

  • BAYC’s Otherside metaverse has launched a demo of the game to the community on July 16. It also previously shared the first images of the game via a short video, showing the scale, awesome graphics, and ambition of this metaverse game.
