Intro:

The Cryptopunk project was launched for the first time in June 2017 and was developed by a two-person team including Matt Hall and John Watkinson in the American game studio Larva Labs. CryptoPunk tokens are algorithmically generated 24 x 24 pixel images. Cryptopunk was released before CryptoKitties, and these two projects were the first in the NFT space and are one of the inspirations for the ERC-721 token standard on the Ethereum network.

In the Cryptopunk project, 10,000 unique tokens were created on the platform of the Ethereum network. Most of these punks are human images, but there are also 88 zombies, 24 monkeys, and 9 aliens that are designated as special punks.
