DMarket emerged as the top-ranking non-fungible token (NFT) collection on Monday, with a daily sales volume of US$842,038, which represents a 1% uptick from the day prior.

The collection had a total of 36,900 transactions, involving 4,304 unique buyers and 3,555 sellers.

DMarket is a Mythos-based collection that represents in-game items for popular games like Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2, both of which feature in top esports competitions. The International 2021, a Dota 2 tournament held in Bucharest, Romania, had a prize pool of US$40 million, the largest in esports history.

DMarket’s market-leading daily sales on Monday pushed its historic sales volume to US$422 million, now the 16th all time.

The second position for the day was claimed by Solana’s Monkey Business, with daily sales reaching US$802,328. This collection saw a total of 148 transactions, engaging 74 unique buyers and 77 sellers.

Pudgy Penguins secured the third spot with a daily sales volume of US$703,920, a big leap from the previous day’s US$143,138. The day’s top Ethereum collection achieved this with just 19 transactions.

Other notable collections include Bitcoin’s NodeMonkes and Solana’s Mad Lads. NodeMonkes recorded a daily sales volume of US$672,683 with 33 transactions, while Mad Lads followed with US$570,755 from 41 transactions.

Last Thursday, NodeMonkes led the NFT market to flip SATS (a BRC-20 bundle) to claim the all-time leading spot among Bitcoin-based collections.

DeGods experienced a decrease from the previous day’s sales of over US$1.1 million and generated US$564,417 in sales on Monday, dropping out of the top five.

Mutant Ape Yacht Club, on the other hand, saw an increase to US$355,212.56 in daily sales for sixth.

Bored Ape Yacht Club, the parent project of Mutant Ape Yacht Club, trailed its spinoff collection closely with US$350,481.46.

BAYC is the world’s second-largest NFT collection by historic sales volume with US$3.14 billion.

Interesting NFTs
The Harvest
An anthropomorphic figure stands, wide eyed, staring at the viewer; its body masculine, muscular, and humanoid. Its “mind” dissociates into a conglomerate of structures resembling feathers, grain, teeth–as well as a radial flower “node”, casting linear rays throughout the composition. To his left, a vat of bodies gesture and writhe in a kind of amniotic soup, attended by a video game robot. The bot's red display reads “uWu”. Behind the robot and filling the left side of the composition is an archaic figure composed of a variety of vintage objects and symbols. Among them are a hardbound book with ancient cuneiform scripts, indicating barley, beer, bread, ox, house, and sky, behind which is a grimacing, salivating jagged toothed maw; and an old Commodore floppy drive. The figure’s head tilts toward an illuminated crescent moon, suggesting the Egyptian Sacred Bull. The archaic figure is composed of a variety of mutating cells, which shift in color, and pattern; eventually breaking free into an ephemeral broadcast of bubbles which move across the background. The work came into being against a psychological introspection, which included associations to pop culture such as alien abduction and pod people, as well as quite a bit of reflection on grains as a symbol of civilization, agriculture, sustenance, life, and imbibing (mainly whiskies).

Beautiful Worlds
Welcome to the ‘Beautiful worlds’ where nature and technology have merged into a single entity. These are Ai generated and hand finished visions of solarpunk future in which I would really like our future generations to live and prosper: the future we might have if we took the very “alternative route” which now lies before us: replacing states and corporations which free federations of communities and cooperatives, using decentralist and ecological technologies to create a world beyond economic scarcity and social hierarchy, defined by autonomy, mutual aid, diversity, and inclusiveness. The long-term goals of solarpunk are freedom and well-being for all by adopting and developing such ecological technologies as: solar, wind, wave and geothermal energy rather than oil or gas to generate electricity; a world of decentralized eco-cities, permaculture and vertical farming, free and open-source software, open-source hardware, small-scale fabrication laboratories, micro-manufacturing, 3D-printing, and countless examples of commons-based peer-production online: meeting the maximum amount of needs, in the shortest time, using the minimum possible amount of energy. It’s a world of decentralized and confederated eco-communities, using technology for human-centric and eco-centric ends rather than for accumulating power and profit – mending the metabolic rift between first nature (the natural world) and second nature (human culture) – and where social hierarchies of race, gender, sexuality, and disability are considered horror stories from the past “oil age”. Solarpunk desires societies of polycultural ethnic diversity and gender liberation, where each person is able to actualize themselves in societal environment of free experimentation and communal caring; This philosophy proposes that in order for the social and natural worlds to reconcile, humans must first transform their relations to each other – recreating society along egalitarian, cooperative, and democratic lines – and then transform their relations towards nature – adopting an attitude to cooperation, rather than domination, towards the planet and its nonhuman forms of life.
