Pride Punks 2018 NFT Overview

Pride Punks is a collection of 10,000 punk NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain, created by @DennisonBertram.

Pride Punks were originally created as a celebration of CryptoPunks, Pride month, and a statement on the lack of inclusivity in web3.

The original Pride Punk smart contract was created on June 23, 2018. It required that CryptoPunk holders wrap their NFT in the contract to mint a Pride Punk, but only two were minted.

After digging up the contracts and building a secure wrapper that no longer requires holders to lock up their NFTs, Pride Punks relaunched in March of 2022 using the original MetaPunk smart contract from 2018.

Pride Punks is not affiliated with Larva Labs. It is an entirely separate and unrelated derivative art project.
