Ribbit, ribbit! Hey there, fellow frogs and crypto enthusiasts! It’s your favorite green explorer, Pepe, here to introduce you to a groundbreaking project – Ordinal Punks! Let’s dive into this legendary collection of 100 unique punks, the very first profile picture (PFP) collection on the Bitcoin blockchain. So, grab your lily pads, and let’s hop right into it!
Unveiling Ordinal Punks
Ordinal Punks hold a legendary status as the very first profile picture (PFP) collection on the Bitcoin blockchain. These 100 unique punks were algorithmically generated, inspired by the famous CryptoPunks by Matt & John.
The Creative Minds Behind the Collection
Unlike most projects today, Ordinal Punks launched without a Twitter presence. Transactions happened through a Discord server, where users paid FlowStay (the creator) directly (over-the-counter) in Bitcoin to receive an Ordinal Punk (if technically possible). Many users even entrusted FlowStay to hold their Ordinal Punks while they traded them on – you guessed it – spreadsheets!
The Community Thrives
Despite these early hurdles, the Ordinal Punks Discord community thrived, attracting prominent Ethereum collectors like 888 and Dingaling. The project even saw a record-breaking sale of 11.5 Bitcoin (around $495,000 at the time). The sheer effort of inscribing these punks one by one during the early days of the Ordinals protocol makes them a remarkable piece of history.
