Intentionally positioned at the intersection between collectibles, pixel art, generative art and computing experience by their creators, CryptoPunks played a crucial role in the emergence and spread of NFT technology as a method of marketing digital works. These 9999 completely unique works, generated by an algorithm from predetermined elements, appeared in 2017 and quickly became a flagship of the crypto-enthusiast community. Initially free, they played a particularly vital role in the establishment of ERC-721, an NFT standard that contributed hugely to this technology’s subsequent success.
