It's no secret that crypto and NFTs move fast.
With countless projects launching every month, it's hard to avoid the full force of FOMO. New projects, events, collaborations, and even aggregators pop up every day, making it easy to fall behind.
Well, not anymore: We've devised a simple way to save you time on Discord and Twitter every week, with NFT.com's The Weekly NFT Drop.

Reddit’s CryptoSnoos NFTs

Maker: Reddit
Type: 1/1 NFTs
The Drop: April 10, 2023
The 360: In 2021 Reddit made headlines when it announced the launch of its own collectibles drop. The NFT drop included digital artwork and exclusive badges to commemorate several Reddit communities, including r/Cryptocurrency, r/FortniteBR, and more. The NFT collectible drop was incredibly popular due to the mix of nostalgia, entertainment, and investment opportunities that it offered to Reddit users. Many people viewed this as an opportunity to invest in something special and tangible, while others simply sought a piece of digital art or a badge to commemorate their favorite subreddit. Most notably, they avoided the term “NFT,” which proved to be a smart way to market the collection.
This drop reignites the Reddit collectibles, except this time, users may customize their avatars before minting them.

Maker: Botto
Type: Edition of 10
The Drop: April 18 at 1:00 PM ET
Scene: Verse
The 360: Botto is a decentralized autonomous artist that has spurred an exciting experiment in community-driven creativity. Each week, the AI artist generates several images that the Botto community votes on. The best image is finished and minted as an NFT. The image in “Seaport Subject” was one of Botto’s early works that became a fast favorite, but never got minted as an NFT. “Seaport Subject” will be the first artwork by Botto that is not minted as a 1/1, marking an important shift in the artist’s oeuvre.
