The first project I'm talking about today is GenomesDAO:

Super interesting project where GenomesDAO is building Your DNA bank. This is potentially huge, because right now all genomic data stay with the companies like 23andme but here, you not only get your cool Geneticat PFP, but also a DNA testing kit and assurance that 100% of your genome will be sequence. Results will be locked in Genome Mining Wault accessible only with your crypto wallet. That means you can decide in the future to participate in research which pharmaceutical companies or university labs do by providing your genomic data as part of the larger set and be rewarded for it.

Also on the roadmap there's a secret generative art piece based on your genome. That should be pretty unique!

It's a definitely long term project and recommend checking details on the website below before the mint. I've heard guys speak on Spaces with Zeneca and they got me, I love it!

Mint is coming on Monday - Feb28 with price TBA in ETH.

The second project I'm talking about today is Calladita Film:

Project by filmaker Miguel Faus who produced a short film from 2019 which received a lot of awards on different festivals. The project aims to raise money for the full feature film production. There are 4 NFT tiers with different levels of rewards and important point is that NFT holders will have a chance to share the movie fame. The cast looks great, distribution is pre-agreed and you will be supporting independent movie producers ethos.

Through parthership with artists there will be also the CALLADITA ART COLLECTION: a series of 1/1 pieces inspired by Calladita and created especially for this drop.

Calladita movie is about summer, spain, class-differences, preseverence and surely love. I definitely recommend you check out at least the website and short video from Miguel.

Mint is coming on March 2nd with price TBD.

The first project I talk about today is Martian Premier League (MPL):

The lore for MPL goes along the lines of professor Gaffer setting up a new football league on Mars. He’s building a transporter capable of beaming 9000 humans up to Mars. His mission? To build a new football league that would embody the values of the game he used to know and love. You might have guessed that they are building a game.

The upcoming genesis PFP mint art is created by Rupert Gruber (Marvel, Sony, Universal) and will act not only as your character but also as your mint pass to the whole Mars Universe. Holders' first reward will ability to create a genesis player who can operate in the Martian Premier League (separate NFT on L2). This additional NFT will act as the gateway for participation in the Martian Premier League and all the mechanics outlined in their whitepaper. The team has worked for two of the largest franchises on the planet: Harry Potter and Marvel and they are ZenAcademy members, so I have high expectations from this one.

Mint should be on March 2nd so there's time. Definitely check them out:

The second project of today is just minting and is called Women Tribe:

Women Tribe Is female led project which has put enormous efforts into building a community of like-minded and supportive people in the past several months. I've been watching it since their early days and it is remarkable. Project founder Izzy has a very distinctive art style which I like.

The ultimate goal is to help women and all people embrace their inner divinity and power. Some of our long-term highlights to accomplish over the next years include Scholarship & Charity, Epic Events, Community Wallet, Merch...

10.000 Woman Tribe members are programmatically generated from over 900 hand-drawn traits, minting started on Feb 15th and the price is 0.04 ETH.

Today is a little different, I'm not talking about large collections but about two small collections made by individual artists. Mainly because it sometimes feels like individual artists are harder to spot among avalanche of hyped PFP collections.

It's a collection of 1/1 digital editions from Eric Karbeling aka SquigglePapi.eth. Eric is the large murals Honolulu based artist. After an office job he found his style and passion in transforming environments via murrals. His art is colorful and dreamy almost hypnotic imagery.
Eric has not only cool NFTs but also very nice merch shop from his Out of Office Tour. Loving it and seriously considering ordering few pieces.

Check out his web: https://www.erickarbeling.com
And OS collection here: https://opensea.io/collection/squigglepapi

It si the collaboration collection between Monika and Peter and that's why today you'll hear about three artists today. They are known for a small abstract and colourful collection called "Petronika". This time, with Love is Eternal, they've done a litte bit more melancholic visuals but e.g. I like them more than Petronika. Love is Eternal is a collection of just 20 items minted on Polygon which is great - you'll pay almost no fees.

Check the collection on OS here: https://opensea.io/coll ection/love-is-eternal

Shortly about each artist:

@PeterArt18

is Ukrainian artist which has number of collections and collaborations as you can see from his Linktree. He’s enjoying abstract art and a lot of colors. I bumped into him and Monika through their Love is Eternal collection which caught my eye.

Peter's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/PeterArt18

@MonikaNFT

is an abstract artist using a lot of wonderful colors in all of her collections. She's very productive so check out her Linktree. if you’re curious.
