HAPPY ANNIVERSARY: The CryptoPunks Are Celebrating Their Sixth Birthday Today!
Today marks the six-year anniversary of Larva Labs' CryptoPunk mint, and everybody in the Web3 space is paying their respects to the project that started it all!
On June 9, 2017, Larva Labs published their CryptoPunks smart contract and invited the world to claim a pixelated punk.

“The CryptoPunks are 24x24 pixel art images, generated algorithmically,” Larva Labs wrote on its website back in 2017. “Most are punky-looking guys and girls, but there are a few rarer types mixed in: Apes, Zombies and even the odd Alien. Every punk has their own profile page that shows their attributes as well as their ownership/for-sale status.”

After the smart contract was published, Larva Labs took to Twitter and Reddit to sound the alarm that their project was live! Check out these historic posts below:
