MomentRanks launched in February 2021 and is the most-visited platform for NBA Top Shot digital asset appraisals. Behind a leadership team that includes co-founders Danny Adkins and Will Hay, and Head of Engineering Jamal Hashim, the startup offers interactive engagement features to support the NFT collectors’ user experience, such as MomentRanks Play, a Top Shot daily fantasy sports game. Additional investors in MomentRanks’ seed round include Azure Capital and multiple angel investors.

“As the cryptocurrency market continues to explode, MomentRanks is delivering unique value to consumers, making the NFT collectible experience less transactional and more engaging,” said Peter Blacklow, general partner at Boston Seed Capital. “We’re fired up to partner with a high-growth company like MomentRanks and visionary entrepreneurs like Danny and Will.”

“This is a monumental inflection point in our vision toward becoming the premier NFT hub,” said Adkins. “The ongoing collaboration from our community of supporters, content creators and engineers has allowed us to reach this milestone, and with funding from Dapper Labs, Boston Seed Capital and other vital investors, we’ll continue to dramatically bolster our user experience, which is the hallmark of our platform. We’re poised to see MomentRanks become the gateway for anyone to learn about NFTs, begin collecting and engage with fellow members of the community.”

Art Blocks is a first of its kind platform focused on genuinely programmable on demand generative content that is stored immutably on the Ethereum Blockchain. You pick a style that you like, pay for the work, and a randomly generated version of the content is created by an algorithm and sent to your Ethereum account. The resulting piece might be a static image, 3D model, or an interactive experience. Each output is different and there are endless possibilities for the types of content that can be created on the platform.

LIMITED EDITION 1/1 | includes signed limited edition prints of all 3 states (pre-election, Trump win, Biden win) This piece is a first for Nifty, a token that will change based on the outcome of the election. If anything is constant about the times we now live in, it's uncertainty. This uncertainty is perfectly encapsulated in this piece of artwork as the person buying the piece will not know the final artwork. The artwork will be one state at auction before the election, and after the results of the election are known, will forever change to reflect a Trump or Biden win. PLEASE FUCKING NOTE: If trump wins, this token will change to that video of sexy boi king trump stomping through hell FOREVER. I don’t want you coming back to me bitching that you spent $2M* on this and now it’s a video of orangeman going HAM and it’s keeping u up at night popping mad boners. should have voted bruh. *and stfu that this isn’t gonna be worth a fuckton more when I hit 30 years of everydays and have a permanent collection in the MOMA. smh.

Things are not always as they seem. Living in poverty is like serving a sentence in a prison with invisible bars. The keys are in plain sight, yet impossible to reach. Screen time captivates us with its addictive dopamine triggers, plucking at our attention span until we are no longer aware of the present... What if both worlds collide?
