That could do with some analysis attached. The stats seem to say no, it's not a thriving thing and people are building on the hope that it returns as something useful in the future. The whole crypto industry seems to be suffering from acute loss-of-interest right now.

Down from peak but $500M monthly volume across 200K users is not bad really. This dashboard isn't tracking other chains and L2s, like Reddit's avatars that just crossed $10M sales volume.

This is very cool, it's good to see people working to build bridges that make it easy to interface with blockchain data. Do you guys have an openAPI spec for the API?

This looks great, have you considered opening this up to other NFT use cases? ESG Assets are a big under the radar industry that is basically developed using NFTs If so would love to discuss!

Aren't most ESG assets VCs?

Packaged into VPs which are then encapsulated by NFT's for recording Carbon amounts of 1ton/CO2

Very cool!! Is there a way to search for 3D model types? Like STLs or GLB files? I am creating an API over at https://heyrobot.org for 3D models... mostly for 3D printing, but would be awesome to reference any 3D models on SimpleHash on HeyRobot, so people can view them in 3D.

We do pass through 3D files when the NFT metadata includes them, but we don't have an explicit search function. This is a great product suggestion though, to do search by media type in general.

Yeah let me know when this is possible!
