It looks like daily NFT trading volume is on the mend.
Is the latest bear market ending? That remains to be seen, though the signs of life weāve had in recent days have been encouraging.
Honestly, my gut tells me weāre not out of the woods yet. But even so, thatāll just give us more time to create and experiment and learn ahead of the next great NFT surge.
In the meantime, have a great weekend and thanks for reading everyone. Time for the weekly roundup! āļø

Tool Tip
āØ My NFT tool of the week:Ā Juicecrowd
Developed on and by the creators of Juicebox, Juicecrowd is a new app designed to facilitate crowdfunding campaigns on Ethereum. It operates in "Crowds," which are small cohorts, each accepting up to 10 projects that then receive support and guidance in addition to raised funds. Think Gitcoin + an accelerator. If this sounds cool to you, take note because Juicecrowd's first cohort, JC01, is now accepting submissions through Nov. 1st, 2023, for early-stage web3 projects actively seeking funding!
