NFTs have taken the world by storm — from shareable digital collectibles on Meta and Instagram, loyalty memberships at Starbucks, to an explosion of NFT-based fantasy sports games and platforms. Despite the ups and downs of the crypto and traditional markets, NFTs continue to evolve with new projects and collaborations being announced daily. With the enormous and ever-growing number of NFTs in this space, it can be difficult to decide which NFTs are worth investing in. In the first part of our Understanding NFTs series, we walked you through the basics. In this second part of Understanding NFTs, we’re going to show you how to research and evaluate NFTs.

Remy Carpinito, our CEO and Co-Founder, joined Polygon for an AMA on the team’s official Discord last week. Remy discussed the story behind Dispatch, Esprezzo’s intuitive no-code blockchain automation tool and how it can help bridge adoption of Web3.

In case you weren’t able to attend, here’s a recording and transcript of the conversation hosted by Zaunzi, a Polygon DeFi advocate.

You might’ve heard of Bored Ape Yacht Club, CryptoPunks, Goblintown, or Clone X. What do they have in common? These are all high volume NFT projects that have grown in popularity through community engagement, massive brand collaborations, and perceived value. NFTs have become a gateway to blockchains, crypto and the Web3 ecosystem for many creatives, brands, investors and collectors.

As we approach the end of July, we're back with two new exciting Dispatch updates: beta testers can now get crypto alerts in Discord, and Polygon triggers are live! We’re happy to expand the number of data sources and ways you can receive alerts as we gather more feedback.

We’re eager to introduce the first Avalanche DEX we’ve integrated into Dispatch: Pangolin, a community-driven decentralized exchange with over 15 billion dollars in total volume. This Dispatch integration enables you to get Pangolin DEX alerts so you don’t have to worry about missing new projects as soon as they come online.

We are thrilled to announce that Dispatch will soon support Polygon! This integration means that in addition to Ethereum and Avalanche, Dispatch beta users will be able to get real-time market alerts and data from the Polygon ecosystem.

A line of demarcation has been forming in the world of cryptocurrency. On one side, speculators and gamblers play the markets only for profit. The tone of their social media posts fluctuates, jubilant when prices soar and fearful when they fall. On the other side is a group of technologists, entrepreneurs, and pragmatic believers. They recognize that while a financial renaissance may be within reach, it won’t be achieved without a sustained and collective effort for years to come. The second group is the one that showed up in droves this weekend.

A little over a week ago, we joined over 5,000 attendees at Permissionless in Palm Beach. Despite the state of the markets, the conference was filled with interesting talks, demos, enthusiasm, and excitement about what’s to come with Web3. Here are just a few highlights from this excellent event.

It's been a while since we've updated you on our progress. Although we've been rather quiet, the Esprezzo team has been heads-down building! With new hires, product development, and new partnerships, we've taken massive steps forward. 

We are excited today to announce the partnership between Esprezzo and VybHouse, a creative studio specializing in NFT design and 1-of-1 experiences that represent iconic moments from the lives of extraordinary humans.
