CRYPTOPUNKS
Cryptopunks are considered one of the most significant art movements in recent times and have been recognized as such by esteemed institutions such as the Centre Pompidou Paris, Institute of Contemporary Art Miami, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and auction houses such as Sotheby’s and Christie’s. CryptoPunks is one of the first NFT collections ever on the Ethereum blockchain. It consists of 10,000 unique 24×24 pixel art images that depict mostly humans and there are several other unique types that are considered more valuable because of their rarity. These include zombies (88), apes (24), and aliens (9). The collection has also gained a reputation among notable collectors, including Jay-Z, Serena Williams, Gary Vee, Snoop Dogg, Heidi Klum, Mark Cuban, Sia, Alexis Ohanian, Ben Horowitz, Michael Novogratz, Chris Dixon, and Cameron & Tyler Winkelvoss.
