CryptoPunks
CryptoPunks are one of the first examples of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Ethereum Blockchain, created by Larva Labs in 2017. Each CryptoPunk is a unique 24×24 pixel art character generated algorithmically. The collection consists of 10,000 distinct characters, each with varying attributes and rarity levels.
CryptoPunks can be categorized into different types based on their traits, such as:
- Human Punks
- Zombie Punks
- ALien Punks
For example, the “CryptoPunk #7804” is an aLien punk, recognized for its rarity and high value, having been sold for over $7.5 million in March 2021.
Another notable case is “CryptoPunk #3100,” also an aLien punk, which was sold for approximately $7.6 million. These high-profile sales have significantly contributed to the popularity and value of CryptoPunks in the NFT market.
