There’s a 100% chance @artblocks_io would not exist today if it were not for @matthall2000 and @pents90 (@larvalabs) launching @cryptopunksnfts in 2017. These guys launched punks and created that magical “aha” moment that made everything click for a lot of people, basically consuming many of our lives every. single. day. since. And then they followed that up with seeding one of the most authentic, curious, experimental, tight knit and bullish communities I have ever been a part of. The downstream effects are remarkable, and all with absolute authenticity and zero expectations of what the future held. Hard to imagine what this place would be like had these guys not done what they did. It’s even harder to imagine anyone else in the world I would be more honored to close out Art Blocks Curated than them. Grateful for all of the passion love and support from @artblocks_io @shillrxyz @NaughtalieStone and others in making this release come together as well as the community for their excitement around Quine!!! 🍻

Beautifully said. The ripple effects from CryptoPunks to Art Blocks shaped digital art forever. Authenticity like that can’t be replicated, only built upon.

These look stunning! @ArtOnBlockchain how about this time these came with a physical handmade masterpiece. Something large, intricate details & handwoven ? @ArtOnBlockchain @larvalabs
Crazy how one spark can light up a whole movement. CryptoPunks were like the OG domino that set off the whole NFT craze. Props to the pioneers.

@ArtOnBlockchain Couldn’t agree more—CryptoPunks truly lit the spark that shaped everything we’re part of today

Punks showed scarcity, openness, and community can birth artist-owned generative markets.
Truth, Punks taught permissionless provenance and collector behavior that reshaped mint culture. frens, what punk habit do you carry into AB?
