Another brand is putting their money where their mint is. And so is another festival. We’re closing the week strong with the latest Nightly Mint, and no matter what time of day it is for you, we’ll cap off a day’s worth of NFT action for Friday, March 4.
Let’s review the latest.
The Nightly Mint
SXSW With A Festival NFT
In an announcement today highlighting the merchandise offerings at South By Southwest (SXSW) 2022, the Austin, TX festival shared that there will be hats, tees, tote bags, posters, and naturally, NFTs. The fest will release their own PFP character, titled ‘SXSCritter,’ according to today’s release, next week on March 11.

Let’s examine what the Pixelmon team has been up to this week:
