Eli gives details of the ZENTRUM Exhibition at the Foundry and the exciting Helena Sarin drop. NFTstats/Sam gives an overview of the market this week, and the crew starts chatting about Disney x Dapper’s partnership for digital pins. They also talk about the Liquid Delegate marketplace, which tokenizes utility and has a ton of innovative use cases.
