Philips are Non Fungible Tokens from the original CryptoPhunks contract, deployed June 14, 2021. A week later, the team deployed the v2 contract to remove the bonding curve pricing built into the original contract[1]. It was at this time that the metadata was wiped and the images were updated to โPhilip the Internโ for all 1,004 NFTs minted before the migration to the new contract[1].
On February 5, 2022, Middlemarch deployed a wrapper for Philips, which restores the metadata and updates the image to the corresponding Phunk on a purple background[2]. Once your Philip is wrapped, you will receive your v1 Phunks (Wrapped) NFT and the Philip will be sent to the V1 Cryptopunks (Wrapped) contract.
Also in February, a fake v1 Phunks project was launched. This project claimed to be the original CryptoPhunk contract, but a quick scan of the contract on Etherscan proves their claims are false. To help clear up the confusion this caused in the marketplace and tell the history of Philips, Vard created the V1 Phunks (Philip Intern Project) Discord server on August 30, 2022.
