​The United Colors of Phunk #3065​
​Bigger version, more colors, still only scratching the surface...​
​WHO ARE THE REAL #CRYPTOPHUNKS?? WHAT ARE THEY HIDING??​
​We are only scratching the surface on what's possible in this sector!​

Presenting: all 219 non-smoke colors used in the 10k CryptoPunks!​
​
​

PRESENTING: '1,265,625 scrambled CryptoPunk pixels.​

"there is a billion dollar NFT somewhere in that image"​
​Or I guess the background should be the same color as the Punk body?​
​
​

These scatter plots show the difference between sequential and random minting (via ERC721R)​
​All 2,091,094 pixels in the original CryptoPunks available as individual NFTs​
​2 color Phunks are the most valuable bc they most directly express the idea of the flipping art and upsetting ppl.​
​The nice thing about owning Phunk #3065, as I do, is that within his deceptively simple frame lives a lifetime of PFPs and 1/1s.​
​More precisely, every combination of the 221 Punk colors looks good, meaning he contains 221 * 221 = 48,841 PFPs.​
​If you need to explain Phunks to the aliens, you should send them #8623, the Phunk Mona Lisa.​
​This image is so busy I can't tell which way the lady is facing and whether anyone is mad about it!​
​The most average Phunk is #7879. Neither busy nor minimalistic, this man could fit in as Phunk or Punk.​

​

With two dimensions you have a maddening number of options.​
​Sorting by the contrast between the foreground and background gives the "trippy" effect of going from blurry to sharp.​
​The first zero trait V1 Phunk has been Wrapped!​
​How do you wrap a V1 Phunk you might ask?? You simply send your V1 Phunk to 0x235d49774139c218034c0571ba8f717773edd923 with safeTransferFrom() and the wrapping occurs in the onERC721Received() callback!​
​Own a piece of history! CryptoPhunkMarket source code available for the first time ever in PNG form. All proceeds go toward furthering the Phunk movement through technology!​
​What would you say if no one could stop you? If your message would last forever?​
