When you consider just how quickly things move in the metaverse, it’s a wonder that anyone can keep up with all the news and product launches, let alone the constant influx of incredible artwork.
All things considered, it raises an important question: how can you efficiently discover the best upcoming art collections?
For the answer, look no further! I’ve scoured the metaverse to uncover the drops you simply can’t afford to overlook so you can focus on elevating your collection instead of endlessly scrolling through X and Discord.
In this week’s curated Collector’s Digest, I’ll give you a leg up in your search for the premier works debuting on Bitcoin Ordinals, Ethereum, and Solana. Here’s what to look out for this week.

Also: What is “My Brain on Chain“?
It’s the first complete human brain inscribed on the Bitcoin blockchain, an act of decentralizing the ego.
More Info: “My Brain on Chain” is a collection featuring an original MRI Scan of DocT’s brain. This artwork turns the artist’s most personal anatomy into a permanent digital artwork. This act reveals new angles on transparency, ownership, and how art can externalize an artist’s innermost world. The Purchase Price includes the physical parts and all shipping costs. If interested, you can find the intake form under the “Add to Collection” tab on VIVID Gallery’s site.

A capsule for the presence of an artist who has planted seeds of magic since the foundational days of cryptoart, Isa Kost’s WUNDERKAMMER emerges from the lineage of collecting as a creative practice.
More Info: A capsule for the presence of an artist who has planted seeds of magic since the foundational days of cryptoart, Isa Kost’s Wunderkamme emerges from the lineage of collecting as a creative practice. Building a Wunderkammer, a Cabinet of Curiosities, is a practice that began in the 16th century as a way to honor objects of strange value. Now, we place such objects on blockchain. Each of the 108 objects in this Cabinet of Curiosities is a dead memory, a dead experience that has called out to be found, and Isa Kost transforms them one by one. The artist presents a vision of what on-chain art can mean, making the concept of permanence speak.
