What is CryptoPunks?
CryptoPunks is an NFT powered by Ethereum. In fact, it is the first NFT to be issued on the Ethereum blockchain network and is the pioneer NFT that ushered in the modern CryptoArt movement.
There are 10,000 CryptoPunks in all and each crypto punk is a uniquely generated character. In the initial phases, these CryptoPunks were freely available to be claimed by anyone with an Ethereum wallet. At the time of writing the review, all CryptoPunks were claimed. Now they can only be purchased from some other user in the CryptoPunks NFT marketplace.
Who created CryptoPunks?
The CryptoPunks project is a project by the New York-based mobile software company, Larva Labs. The company was founded in 2005.
Early in May 2021, the company launched a new NFT project called Meebits.
What is an NFT?
NFT is an acronym for “Non-Fungible Tokens”. Something which is fungible is replaceable. For instance, one kilo of 24 karat gold is – at least in theory – replaceable with any other kilo of 24 karat gold. When something is non-fungible, it means that it is unique, and not replaceable with any other item out there.
Although NFTs are conceptually similar to cryptocurrencies, these digital assets might represent antiques & artworks, collectables like trading cards, and other items with unique features. These tokens are stored cryptographically in a blockchain network for authentication and validation. Even when transacting, each token is sold as a whole, unlike cryptocurrencies which are divisible into smaller units. NFTs lose their value when split into smaller portions, however, they can be duplicated by the artist and each additional copy can be sold separately (but the total number of duplicates will then always be known).
