By Kate Irwin Verified| Blockworks Verified Digg was an early 2000s news aggregator, predating Reddit, that was dismantled and sold for parts in 2012. The original site was founded by Kevin Rose, a man you might know better as the creator of the Moonbirds NFT collection. Yuga Labs purchased Rose's NFT company, Proof Collective, and the Moonbird NFT brand for an undisclosed sum in 2024. Now, more than ten years after Digg's shuttering, both Rose and Reddit co-founder Alex Ohanian are back to reboot the news aggregator.
By Kate Irwin Verified| Blockworks Verified Truth Arts - formerly known as Truth Labs, the team behind the 2022 Goblintown Ethereum NFT collection - has released NFT "licenses" inspired by driver's licenses. To become eligible to mint a Goblintown license, aspiring drivers had to wait for a seemingly endless amount of time with no end in sight in a DMV. In this case, the wait was at the Goblintown DMV, which was a webpage with a DMV simulator.
