What is CryptoPunks?
CryptoPunks is one of the pioneering NFT projects created by Larva Labs, launched in June 2017. It consists of 10,000 unique, algorithmically generated 24×24 pixel art characters, each with distinct attributes and rarity, including humans, zombies, apes, and aliens. These digital collectibles are stored on the Ethereum blockchain and can be bought, sold, and traded on their dedicated marketplace.
CryptoPunks has significantly influenced the NFT space, inspiring the development of the ERC-721 standard and the modern CryptoArt movement. Its historical and cultural significance makes it a foundational project in the world of digital collectibles.
