2 – Crypto-Themed Animated NFT Series Lands Sponsorship Deal With 1inch

Per the announcement, the crypto-themed animated NFT series has received a significant boost with the announcement of a sponsorship scheme by 1inch Network.

Therefore, besides sponsoring the NFT series dubbed “Take My Muffin,” 1inch will expose team members to DeFi projects and provide technical support for the presentation. The program is set to premiere in 2022.

As a result, Anton Bukov, an executive at 1inch network, thinks a partnership of this nature shouldn’t surprise anyone. He also said: “Take My Muffin was financed by the crypto community from the very beginning. It’s actually the very first crypto-funded animated series.”

Also, Sergey Maslennikov, the company’s head of communication, underlined that the interaction will be incorporated into the show’s storyline beginning with the first episode. He also said: “This partnership should help 1inch reach a broader general audience. Of course, it’s fun — and DeFi segment should try to save this mood instead of turning into another traditional and boring banking-alike industry.”

3 – Doge Meme Valuation Goes Out of the Roof Following Fractionalization

Over the past week, Doge made another major headline as its Shiba Inu meme hits a $220M valuation. The development occurred at the same time that Sotheby’s Bored Apes sale, which is expected to fetch $18 million, emerged from the NFT area.

The Doge meme NFT’s skyrocketing valuation is coming to the surface just after the successful fractionalization into $DOG Tokens. It is soaring to a valuation of about $220 million already following the profitable fractionalized token sale this week.

On the other hand, earlier in the past week, Doge meme creators, PleasrDAO fractionalized the NFT into 17 billion ERC-20 $DOG tokens. About 20% of the tokens were sold on Miso (owned by SushiSwap) on the 1st of Sept. Here is their tweet:
