CryptoPunks was released in June 2017 as one of the first non-fungible tokens (NFT) on the Ethereum blockchain. The project was developed by American studio Larva Labs, a two-person team consisting of Canadian software developers Matt Hall and John Watkinson. The experimental project was inspired by the London punk scenes, the cyberpunk movement and William Gibson's novel Neuromancer, Johnny Mnemonic, Blade Runner[1] and also electronic music artists Daft Punk. The crypto art blockchain project was an inspiration for the ERC-721 standard for NFTs and the modern crypto art movement. Many investors and collectors consider CryptoPunks NFTs pop art, digital blue chip art investment and digital Warhols.
