The Big Drop
Brace yourself, NFT enthusiasts! ICPunks has announced an electrifying drop of 10,000 nonfungible tokens (NFTs) on the Internet Computer, and here’s your chance to snag one for free! Mark your calendars for Wednesday at 8 PM UTC because that’s when the claiming party begins. Just one per user, so don’t get too greedy!
A Family Affair
Conceptualized by the dynamic duo of brothers Przemek and Tomasz Chojecki, along with their creative partner Adam Stępnik, ICPunks is not just your run-of-the-mill NFT project. Inspired by the iconic hip-hop duo Insane Clown Posse and the global phenomenon of CryptoPunks, these avatars are ready to take the NFT world by storm.
Exclusivity is Key
Out of the total 10,000 punks, only 3,000 will actually be available for claiming during the initial rollout. This exclusivity factor adds an air of mystery and excitement, so be sure to be among the first to grab yours!
Words from the Wise
Cointelegraph had a chat with Przemek, who couldn’t contain his enthusiasm about the ICPunks launch. He remarked,
“We’re incredibly excited for the launch of ICPunks on the Internet Computer. The NFT space is moving at such a rapid pace — it is amazing to be part of it. We have a lot of plans for ICPunks, including an NFT Marketplace; this is the first step towards that.”
Why the Internet Computer?
The Internet Computer isn’t just a fancy name. It’s a robust, general-purpose blockchain created to allow smart contracts to deliver interactive web content directly to users. Forget convoluted systems; this setup is designed to put smooth interactions at the forefront.
What’s on the Horizon?
Expect big things! Community members are already working on alternatives to mainstream social media platforms, like LinkedIn, Medium, and WhatsApp. So, dive into the conversation, because ICPunks is just getting started.
Buzz and Hype
As anticipation builds, analytics show that the ICPunks website has attracted a whopping 89,000 visitors since its launch. That’s right—almost 90,000 curious crypto-connoisseurs eager to get a peek at what ICPunks has to offer. With all this buzz, you’d better get your game face on.
The Dfinity Connection
We also caught up with Tomasz, who disclosed their partnership with Dfinity, declaring,
“We have been following Dfinity’s work since 2017. We believe the Internet Computer is the best solution for NFTs. One of the benefits of the Internet Computer is that all information is stored on-chain. There is no need to use IPFS or dedicated web servers to host images. It’s truly a decentralized NFT solution.”
NFT Market Growth
2021 has been nothing short of sensational for the NFT market. With influencers across various domains jumping on the bandwagon, the market has shown exceptional growth. Just last week, credit card giant Visa made headlines with a jaw-dropping $150,000 purchase of a CryptoPunk. And don’t forget about Japanese tennis sensation Naomi Osaka, who is preparing to launch her collection of NFT tokens ahead of the US Open!
Whether you’re in it for the art, the tech, or pure speculation, the NFT space is booming, and it looks like ICPunks is ready to take the plunge!
