We are excited to announce CryptoPunks have found a permanent home at The Infinite Node Foundation.
@nodefnd is a non-profit committed to the preservation and expansion of contemporary digital art.
@larvalabs founders & artists Matt Hall & John Watkinson are returning to join in a guiding role for the future of Punks - alongside advisory board members @GordonGoner and @ArtOnBlockchain.
Super Punk World is a 500-piece collection that is as playful as it is profound. For our Punk in Residence collaboration - @ninachanel has created hybridized 3D sculptures that blur the lines of race & gender and reflect upon virtual versus real world identities.

In homage to the irreverent, early-internet roots of the CryptoPunks project, Abney’s full-bodied characters juxtapose the 8-bit aesthetic with the abstract forms and strong proportions of her sculptures and collages - placed on colorful backgrounds from her previous work and prints.
The dutch auction is open to all collectors, and will run on Wednesday, May 29th at 8 AM PST / 11 AM EST. Collectors will receive both a 2D image and 3D model that can be used in future digital worlds: hub.cryptopunks.app/auction/nina
Work has begun on the CryptoPunks.App Restoration Project. 👇🧵
Over the last couple of months we’ve been sourcing feedback from the Punks community about what we can do to celebrate the Punks legacy while simultaneously setting it up for long-term success.
The Punks app holds a special place in the heart of the community, but the most consistent feedback we heard was that it needs to evolve.
While Yuga’s not directly involved in the collaboration between @dt_chain, @TiffanyAndCo & @alexarnault, it’s a great example of the types of things Punks holders will be able to do with the IP licensing agreement, which we intend to release on 8/15. See 🧵 for license details.
Punks will receive BAYC-esque licensing rights. This means the community will be able to tap the Punk(s) they own to create myriad kinds of content and derivatives, but Punks can’t be used for unlawful purposes or for hate speech.
The NFTs and IP rights are tied together. This means all Punk IP rights will travel from owner to owner, but former owners may continue to use and profit from what they have already created and published.
😶 Meebits Update 😶
Several things just went live to improve the zero-fee Meebits trading system: A new email-based notification system, a trade interest indicator setting, and an all new interactive search that ties into both of those to help find trading partners. 🧵👇
Email notifications:
Because of various issues with Discord DMs, we are transitioning to email notifications. No login is required, just a signed message from your wallet. To get started, just unlock your wallet and go to your account page. meebits.larvalabs.com/meebits/market…
Trade interest flag:
To help people find other trading partners it's now possible to indicate you are interested in trading specific Meebits. You can then filter for Meebits with specific attributes that are interested in trading. More details here: meebits.larvalabs.com/meebits/market…
