Let's start with ISSUE006 (January)

ISSUE008
The Open Edition NFT season is here. Open edition NFTs are collections with only temporal scarcity limitations and per-wallet mint limits. For example, an open-edition artwork can be available for purchase for only a week. Open edition NFTs can be free or paid mints and starting an open edition project has become easier with recent UX improvements in marketplaces like Zora and Manifold. However, there is debate on the significance of this trend in comparison to the scarcity-focused NFT collections of 2021-2022. While some embrace the trend, others prefer limited edition NFTs with set quantities such as 50, 100, or 1,000 pieces. Successful examples are the Checks by Jack Butcher , the TRAITORS by XCOPY and Money Printer Go BRRRRRR by NessGraphics, which raised over 1,404 ETH ($2 million) in one hour. OE benefits: Accessibility: Open edition NFTs are generally more accessible and affordable than limited edition NFTs, making them accessible to a broader audience. Liquidity: Open edition NFTs can be bought and sold more quickly, providing a more liquid market for investors and collectors. OE drawbacks: Decreased scarcity: Open edition NFTs have a lower perceived value as they are not limited in quantity and therefore lack scarcity, which is one of the critical factors that drive the value of limited edition NFTs. Quality control: The abundance of open edition NFTs can lead to a decrease in the overall quality of the art and content being produced, as creators may prioritize quantity over quality. Over saturation: The market may become oversaturated with open edition NFTs, leading to a decrease in demand and a decline in overall value. Overall, the trend of OEs presents both opportunities and challenges for artists, collectors, and investors. While OEs may provide greater accessibility and liquidity, they also face the risk of decreased scarcity, decreased quality, and market oversaturation.
