What is up out there all you Stackers and Hackers?! Devs and Artists. Bitcoin Birds and Goblin Apes. The time has finally come! It is officially NFT Week in NYC. 🏙️

Don't miss Muneeb & The Hiros at The Town Hall on November 2nd

Today, the big apple proclaims a resounding “gm” to the entire crypto world as the NFT.NYC conference kicks off in Times Square. This four-day fungible extravaganza will be the definitive event of the fall celebrating the explosion of the NFT space seen in 2021. 📈 https://www.nft.nyc/

12 months ago, NFTs were not possible on Stacks without the implementation of Clarity smart contracts. Fast forward to today, and in the last 24 hours Megapont has traded a volume of 58k STX [https://stacksonchain.com/nftoverview]. The way the Stacks community has embraced blockchain technology to build creative and beautiful digital assets has been truly stunning to watch.

This week is sure to be jam-packed, but we wanted to make sure a couple Hiro/Stacks festivities are on your radar. Most importantly, don’t miss Muneeb Ali on a panel tomorrow, November 2nd, on the Town Hall stage from 5:30-6:00pm EST. He’ll be chatting about “Our Non-Fungible Future” and how Bitcoin is ripe to nurture a creator economy. Right after that, we’ll be piling into the Town Hall lobby for a casual “Meet Your Hiros” meet n’ greet. This will be your chance to meet some fellow Stackers, ask burning questions, and get introduced to the superHiros building dev tools for YOU!

Last but not least, we are extra hype to announce that we will be launching a special-edition, commemorative Bitcoin NFT to celebrate this monumental occasion. There will be 1000 editions up for grabs, and they will be totally free besides the network transaction fee. You’ll have to track down a Hiro at the event to grab a QR code, but stay tuned to socials if you won’t be in attendance! We’ll make sure virtual collectors have a chance to snag the collectibles online at some point during the week… 🖼️

That’s all I got for you right now! As always, your friendly Developer Advocate Joe Bender (that’s me! 🙂 ) will be sprinting around the event. Look for the smiling face in a Stacks shirt to get your ear talked off about the latest and greatest Bitcoin NFT. If you’re a developer, Alex Graebe is sure to have some questions for you on what you need to x10 engineering potential. Finally, Hiros new Marketing Manager Elena Giralt is ready to hear about the content that makes you tick!

Don't be shy! See you there. wagmi.
