Larva Labs, the creator of CryptoPunks, just signed with United Talent Agency (UTA) in a representation deal that will bring one of the earliest and most iconic NFT projects into the entertainment and branding worlds.

How are CryptoPunks made?

Created by development studio Larva Labs, CryptoPunks are a series of 10,000 images tokenized as NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. Each CryptoPunk is randomly generated from a list of dozens of attributes, which means there’s an array of designs: people, zombies, apes, and even aliens.

Created in 2017 by Larva Labs founders Matt Hall and John Watkinson, CryptoPunks are pixelated avatars randomly generated through computer code stored on the Ethereum blockchain; only 10,000 punks exist and no two are the same, though some are considered more rare than others.

What is the most expensive NFT ever sold?

However, as of today, the world’s most expensive NFT artwork is still Beeple’s Everydays: The First 5,000 Days: a collage consisting of 5,000 images measuring 21,069 x 21,069 pixels and bought at Christie’s for over $69.3 million by a Singapore-based programmer.

After Everydays: The first 5000 days by Beeple, CryptoPunk #3100 and CryptoPunk #7804 are the most expensive NFTs, which were sold for $7.58 million and $7.57 million, respectively.
