Let me introduce the first episode of a new series.
What are the Drifters?
First, let’s talk about the Drifters, a collection from the Cyberbrokers project, which I really enjoy. This part of the Cyberbrokers lore appears in Chapter 2. In short:
The Drifters were once a constant, active population within the Paradigm metaverse. However, since the initialization of Version Beta, they have completely disappeared, as they are no longer able to connect. This has left a major political void with all their council seats now empty. The reason for this block is a central mystery, and their absence has turned the once-vibrant city into a hollow, lifeless shell.
The Drifters collection complements the Cyberbrokers and Mechas:
– Cyberbrokers represent the “elite” of the Paradigm Metaverse.
– Mechas are vehicles used to travel and fight across different areas of the metaverse.
– Drifters are the “everyday people” of this universe.
They can be customized with different outfits created by Josie and her team, as well as through collaborations with other artists (Coldie, JOY, Xcopy, and more).
The best part? Each customized Drifter comes with its own 3D file. The video above introduces Anchor Jester, but the possible configurations are endless. Who knows—maybe one day multiple Drifters will be commenting on current events?
Commenting NFT market, Digital Art and Web3 News
Why keep writing and speaking about the NFT market when people say it’s “dead”?
First, I’ve been passionate about NFTs since 2018. Second, yes, diversification is important—but that doesn’t mean abandoning what you love.
From now on, I’ll be making short videos covering topics like:
– Digital art
– NFT market trends
– Web3 news
I truly believe the future of digital art will be tied to NFTs—or at least blockchain-based timestamping. In the age of AI, it’s becoming increasingly hard to verify whether content is authentic or entirely artificial.
For example, did you notice that the voice in this video is AI-generated? Despite my pseudonym, I’m not actually a woman :)
Technology will keep evolving, and I think we’ve only scratched the surface of what NFTs and blockchain can enable. I even imagine a future where automatic revenue distribution happens every time a work is used by AI—through smart contracts integrated directly into the models.
One AI-generation = one NFT = automatic payment to the original creator.
That’s all for now—see you soon in the next videos, which I hope you’ll enjoy!
If you’d like an analysis of your project—Web3 or not—feel free to reach out. I’d love to help you separate the signal from the noise and grow your activity.
