NiftyNoon: Is Something Special Happening at the Beeple CryptoPunks Event?
All eyes are on Beeple's CryptoPunks event as a Larva Labs comeback is teased (August 30, 2023)
Nifty Thought
As covered previously on NiftyNoon, Beeple is celebrating his purchase of a CryptoPunk by hosting an event at his studio. This event is notable in that the founders of Larva Labs (and therefore CryptoPunks) are slated to be in attendance. This is a rare appearance from the team that has largely stepped away from the spotlight since they sold CryptoPunks to Yuga Labs in early 2022. While they have been quiet, all signs point to them still building… something. Kevin Rose, who has previously collaborated with them on the launch of Protoglyphs through PROOF Grails, has previously commented on their stealth work.
As a result, some people are hoping that this will manifest as a surprise airdrop at the Beeple event. Beeple was famous for doing a physical airdrop of work at his studio’s inaugural launch party. While official promotion for the event explicitly states there will be no mints, the NFT faithful speculators have pointed out that this does not rule out a Beeple-style airdrop. Nonetheless, this upcoming CryptoPunks event should be exciting simply because it is a celebration of the project that is arguably responsible for the NFT space as we know it.
