What are V1 CryptoPunks?

V1 CryptoPunks are the original punks that pre-dated the Cryptopunks we love today. You can find stories online that have a timeline of early NFTs on the Ethereum Blockchain.

V1 CryptoPunks are the original and identical characters from the bugged contract that are now safe with an intuitive ERC-721 wrapper. The original CryptoPunks contract had a marketplace bug which led to punks getting stolen. The new wrapper now makes your CryptoPunk safe and tradeable on NFT Platforms such as OpenSea – LooksRare – Rarible.
