NiftyNoon: Is Larva Labs Back?

The creator of CryptoPunks has a new NFT coming (July 18, 2023)

Nifty Thought

• Larva Labs is perhaps the most celebrated company in NFTs. From 10,000 supply profile picture collections using iconic CryptoPunks traits to on-chain generative art projects following in the footsteps of Autoglyphs, it is undeniable Larva Labs has set the NFT standards by which other projects follow. Following their sale of CryptoPunks and Meebits to Yuga Labs in early 2022, the Larva Labs founders seemed to fade into the background as NFT mania continued to rage on. There was some speculation that the team may return with a surprise live mint when the founders were announced as speakers for PROOF of Conference as they had previously minted Protoglyphs through PROOF. However, even that resulted in silence as the conference was ultimately canceled.

• The Fingerprints DAO plan to move to an NFT with artwork of a 3D Autoglyph commissioned by Larva Labs has been well-known for a few months. Nonetheless, the thought of new Larva Labs artwork being minted in an official capacity is still very exciting.
