The New Oldest NFTs on Ethereum? 🧐

Metaversal is one Bankless newsletter for weekly levels on NFTs, virtual worlds and digital collectibles

Dear Bankless Nation,

Ethereum officially launched on July 30, 2015.

Long time ago, right? Pay attention then, because yesterday people rediscovered and started to make their mark Name registrara simple ENS-like project that launched on August 8, 2015 – just a week after Ethereum launched!

As you can imagine, many people are very excited about the find because it seems that name registrar is now definitely the oldest NFT project on Ethereum by a couple of months.

In less than a day since its rediscovery, NFTers have already coined more than 100,000 of these names! The thread above highlights a community made minting app, but if you try it just mint with a burning wallet for now since the underlying smart contract remains unverified.

It is fascinating that NFT’s archaeological efforts are showing this kind of early pioneering effort, and I expect many more interesting rediscoveries in the years to come. In the meantime, have a great weekend everyone, thanks for reading ✌️
