CryptoPunks journeyed from obscurity in 2017 to a staggering $2.87 billion in all-time sales volume today.
Yet despite a recent 50% floor price increase, the 'Punks remain far from their all-time high. Can Ethereum's OG collectibles reclaim their +100 ETH status once more?
In my latest write-up, I explore why I believe the answer here is a resounding yes by evaluating the current pulse of the CryptoPunks across 10 key criteria.

With the Bankless x BasePaint community collab ongoing, I figured it's a great time to highlight a neat little tool I love called BasePaint Bot.
Built by Backseats and Sammy Bauch (two of my fav NFT creatives), this service is built atop BasePaint's smart contracts and lets you load up ETH and automatically mint the daily BasePaint canvases over specific subscription periods.
If you'd like to collect a stretch of canvases but prefer a more set-and-forget style, this is an easy tool you can use to tap in. Plus, you're free to cancel your subscription and withdraw your funds early as you please!
This resource is a great example of permissionless composability, and it's definitely worth checking out if you're just beginning to dive into the BasePaint scene.
