Abstract: Another exciting week, NFT has swept the world, you can imagine that the brands around you are thinking about him, although the mouth is hard, but everyone is very honest.

Dear NFTime Readers:

I want to start with an announcement I read last week that got me excited. The team behind NFT-based game Parallel has created an end-to-end encrypted messaging service for Ethereum wallets called inb0x. Americans are generally used to using iMessage more, but in Europe, many people mainly like to use WhatsApp. Of course, as a tech ethic enthusiast, I don't like having my messages spied on. In a blog post, Parallel described inb0x as a "simple communication tool built for web3" where users can "communicate securely using their Ethereum addresses". This solves a big problem, the lack of communication channels in web3. When we trade on the web3 platform, we can only communicate on Twitter and Discord. I can't wait to see this project come to maturity! Next up: Web3 Discord.
