12 September 2022
How is it going, Parasians? I hate to deliver the message, but the Paras team won’t be attending NEARCon 2022. Unfortunately, our visa gets rejected and I’m also having COVID currently. Don’t worry because we are still working to deliver some news for the NEAR ecosystem. I hope NEARCon becomes a success as we cannot wait to hear good news from partners and other projects alike. I believe we are going to have a big change on the Paras website. Can you guess what it is?

Congratulations to the Card4Card winners on September. We wish you to come back for the next one. Thank you for participating and choosing Paras. You help us to go far as a marketplace!
Reminder: Paras Loyalty Program has started. Learn how to do locked staking and earn your rewards through our publication.
Let’s get back to our weekly recap. Our team records the total volume of $74,519. Our artists minted 1,925 cards while our users conducted 10,531 Transactions. Congratulations to all artists! Hopefully, our following features could bring more value for artists and collectors in Paras. For daily stats, please visit stats.paras.id.
Let’s take a look at these five collections from our great creators. As usual, these are fragments of what our marketplace has. Every day, a new collection arrives, and we suggest you surf and find your own gem. Beware of scammers and check what you are about to buy beforehand. Without further ado, let’s start!

Cryptopoems: the fragments of catalyst

“The fragment of catalyst🦋” is my way of responding to situations that have occurred over the past months that are full of FUD for NFT enthusiasts across the blockchain. A time passed by, leaving us a failure, destroying our enthusiasm for creating art.
Wordsmiths are hard to find, but Cryptopoems.near is here to show us that they are still around. Let’s check the “Cryptopoems: the fragments of catalyst” collection! This collection is a statement that despite having a bear season, NFTs artists will continue to rise and stay relevant. The dark times influenced the artist to create this collection. Its darkness and alienation bring forth the formulation of multi-interpreted words. He believes that we can find light in our darkest hours. He also hopes this will spark an explosion of hope in our hearts. Lastly, we are going to make it!

ICECAT Cafe

ICECAT is a cafe for cat lovers. We have 10 cats as a waitress to take care of all of the customers. We will have both F&B in our place.
Let’s welcome another collection from Shadowgirl.near! The “ICECAT” cafe is a home for cat lovers. Collectors who hold five or more cards of this collection can get a custom card. If the collector has more than 10 cards, he/she automatically gets a legendary card from the creator for free. You can check the news of this collection on their Discord server. This collection feels pretty unique because the theme is a mix between a cat and popular cafe menus. They are cute and refreshing. Check them all out!

SpongyCat

Here comes another collection for all cat lovers out there! The “SpongyCat” collection is created by Spongycat.near. I believe that this collection also participated in the Card4Card event. Unfortunately, I’m only going to talk about the main collection for now. The creator just releases 10 more cards for this collection and he calls it the “SpongyCat on the beach”. The rarities in this drop are varied from normal to epic. You can join the Discord server for more info regarding the next drop. Get your own “SpongyCat” and have a lifetime of joy of fondling your cat!

Nestercity: Metaverse NFT Drop

Nestercity, a cohort of engineers and architects, brings a Metarchitect concept that allows the architect to optimize opportunities in the Metaverse world. Focusing on launching NFTs (Non-fungible Tokens), Nestercity aims to provide architects to retain their Intellectual Property Rights (IPR).
If you haven’t checked the “Nestercity” NFTs collection, you might miss a big one. After the massive success of their first NFTs drop on 2th of May 2022, Nestercity_nft.near comes back with the second one. The next batch will be ready on the 31st of August 2022. The next drop will bring the same concept as the prior batch. There will be three categories: Nesteria, Exteria, and Nestsylu. Each category brings a different type of building and theme. The team will provide the link to the collection and unlockable contents for the metaverse later. They also said that the legendary building will be part of this batch. Don’t miss this one and follow their social media now!

Puffy Cheek

Hello all friends in the community! I’ve been a freelance artist since 2017 and jumped into the NFTs world for the past. I’m Ayame the creator of Puffy cheek collection.
Let’s support Ayamehoom.near by taking a look at the “Puffy Cheek” collection! The collection is created based on the idea of Kokeshi doll. They love to eat dango every day. Dango is a sweet from Japan that you can enjoy with a variety of toppings and sauces. The characters in this collection have puffy cheeks because they are chewing dango. According to the legend, the doll represents good luck and brings a healthy child energy. When you collect two “Puffy Cheeks”, you will get a custom “baby bualoi.” This baby will give you a chance to join upcoming events. Get yourself a dango and join the “Puffy Cheek” collection!

What do you think of these collections? We love the spirits and the hard work you bring to the marketplace. We hope to see more creators in the future. Thank you for choosing Paras. I will see you next week, cheers!
