Metaversal is a Bankless newsletter for weekly level-ups on NFTs, virtual worlds, & collectibles
Dear Bankless Nation,
When it comes to the NFT ecosystem, there are many professional opportunities beyond just minting or trading NFTs.
Indeed, the crossroads between Web3 and the metaverse is currently blooming with cultural and economic activity in all directions, and this is leading to growing demand for a range of new sorts of NFT specialists.
Below, I’ve compiled a list of 8 such NFT-centric specialist gigs that may be relatively under the radar now, but that I expect will become much more commonplace going forward.
Any suit your fancy? Let’s see!

8 NFT jobs to watch
1) Cryptoart promoter
I’m looking for middlemen who can promote and sell my work while i focus on creation. I can pay a percentage cut off the sales.
-Ironically, an NFT artist.
Artists love to make art, but many understandably feel lost when it comes to business and promotional matters. Over the past two years, I’ve seen a growing number of cryptoartists explore delegating this work to enterprising experts, much like how music promoters get the word out for musicians. I think as cryptoartists become that much more popular and the scene becomes further saturated, we’ll see more cryptoart promoters offering their services.
2) DAO designer
NFT projects often revolve around communities. And DAOs (for decentralized autonomous organizations) can help communities coordinate effectively in decentralized fashion. So I expect to see many more NFT-related DAOs going forward. However, setting up a DAO soundly can be daunting and difficult for NFTers who aren’t well-versed in DAOs, so I think DAO design consultants are going to prove increasingly popular in the coming years.
3) Metaversal architect

The number of NFT-based virtual world projects is blossoming fast. This will lead to growing demand for virtual architects like Devil.eth, who has become renowned in Ethereum’s side of the metaverse for their intricate commissioned builds on Cryptovoxels.
