An on-chain contract was donated as a “work of art.” In the early hours of October 25 Beijing time, Adam, a developer at TokenWorks, announced on X that he was donating ownership of the PunkStrategy contract to the NODE Foundation. His reasoning: he sees the contracts built by TokenWorks as art, and since NODE already owns the intellectual property rights to CryptoPunks, it’s well positioned to carry the idea forward. Let’s separate the facts from the assumptions: 1. What changed was ownership of the contract, not the code. The on-chain rules are still there; what changed is who holds the admin keys. 2. Ownership means permissions. The owner of many contracts can adjust parameters, such as fee rates. With a new owner, it’s up to them how those parameters are set—they might be better, or simply different. 3. A high-profile new owner doesn’t mean a token is guaranteed to perform. A foundation taking over is not a promise of returns. Whether the strategy can keep running depends on trading volume and on-chain data. Here’s the blunt truth: one of the most common misconceptions in crypto is treating “someone took over” as “time to buy in.” Check three things for yourself: who currently owns the contract, which parameters they can change, and whether those changes are publicly recorded. Do your homework before putting your faith in it. Would you buy a token because a foundation took over? Let’s talk in the comments. #NFT #CryptoPunks #ContractSecurity

Came across a pretty punk donation: TokenWorks donated ownership of the PunkStrategy contract to Infinite Node Foundation (NODE), which manages the CryptoPunks IP. The protocol still runs automatically—it uses trading fees to buy floor Punks and list them at a markup, then buys back and burns tokens after a sale. After taking over, NODE’s first move was to cut the trading fee from 10% to 5%. The share of fees that previously went to the developer was also redirected to NODE to support artists and exhibitions. The treasury currently holds around 37 Punks. $PNKSTR #CryptoPunks #NFT

The PunkStrategy contract was “donated” to the NODE Foundation, and everyone in the community cheered, saying the protocol itself had become part of the CryptoPunks legacy. I see it differently. The mechanics are simple: PNKSTR charges a transaction fee, uses it to sweep up floor-price Punks, lists them at a markup, then uses the proceeds to buy back and burn tokens. It currently holds around 37 Punks. That transaction fee is the fuel for the whole flywheel. The first thing NODE did after taking over: cut the fee from 10% to 5%. In other words, the fuel for buying Punks and buying back tokens has been cut in half. And according to news roundups, more of the fees will go to artists and exhibitions, while TokenWorks’ original share will now go to the foundation. For token holders, this isn’t bullish—it means the flywheel is slowing down. How many of the people cheering actually ran the numbers? Then there’s the word “donation.” Adam himself called the contract a work of art, which sounds nice. But the project handed over a contract that depends on trading volume to stay alive, while also tying the brand to the Punks IP. The narrative is now fully built out, and whatever happens to the token price from here, the responsibility has been “donated” along with it. I’m not saying NODE taking over is a bad thing. A foundation stepping in is at least more respectable than an anonymous team disappearing. But the whole point of Strategy-style tokens is this machine: “fees → buy assets → burn.” If you cut the machine’s fuel intake in half and still shout “to the moon,” all I can say is that emotion has won out over reason. #PNKSTR #CryptoPunks

Last week I wrote an obituary for an NFT; this week it’s risen from the deadThat monkey-friend of mine is back again, knocking at my door. Last time, he had me admire the little expression-confused monkey in his wallet. This time, he came to collect a debt—he said he’d read your article last month. You wrote the whole thing like a eulogy for an NFT, beautifully done. And there was only one line: “People didn’t die.” I asked, “Where’s the proof?” He shoved his phone right in front of me: the profile picture—one of those earliest old punks. The trading volume from the previous week jumped more than tenfold. Someone swept up over sixty pieces in one go, and within two days the entire series’ floor price had been pushed up by a stretch. Even wilder: last Thursday, two of the rarest punks were bought within half a day, one after the other—together almost four million US dollars. One of them was the only one in the whole series that had all seven features. The seller had held it for years, and he bragged that the offer was “impossible to refuse.” Listen— even the Godfather wouldn’t dare to play it that way.

Matched with Bankless: CryptoPunks sales are heating up again. From 9/19 to 9/26, unwrapped trades totaled about $8.2 million for the week, roughly 11.7x quarter-over-quarter; around 9/23, that buying spree reportedly scooped up about 63 Punks and spent roughly $6 million, lifting the floor from about 29 ETH to about 34 ETH. Harder numbers came in on 10/1: the 7-attribute unique #8348 was sold for 3 million USDC via a GONDI Sell & Repay (with an additional undisclosed portion), the largest GONDI deal in history; and the zombie Punk #3609 sold for 875k USDC. Both transactions involved stablecoins buying up packaged editions—less like the old script of just tracking ETH up and down. ETH has still been hovering around 46% below its highs, but OG Punks trading moved first. #CryptoPunks #NFT #ETH

Chat with the SlopfatherMichael Hirsch, aka the 'Slopfather', is the founder of Slonks, an Ethereum-based on-chain NFT collection featuring 10,000 NFTs. It attempts to reconstruct the original CryptoPunks pixel by pixel using a neural network model, but the charm lies in the way it fails. At first, this was just an on-chain AI experiment, but it eventually evolved into a full-blown ecosystem built around 'imperfection'. It features a burn-and-merge mechanism, a token called SLOP directly tied to pixel deviations, and the upcoming on-chain arcade game Slops.

🚨 NFT MARKET IS HEATING UP AGAIN

Something interesting is happening in the NFT space right now… momentum is quietly building back into the biggest collections.

Over the past 7 days, we’ve seen strong double-digit gains across top-tier NFTs:

🐒 CryptoPunks are up +15.6%
🦍 Bored Ape Yacht Club surged +36.5%
🐧 Pudgy Penguins climbed +22.5%
🧪 Mutant Ape Yacht Club exploded +44.1%

That’s not random movement. That’s liquidity rotating back into blue-chip NFTs after a long quiet phase.

When collections like BAYC and MAYC start moving together like this, it usually signals renewed risk appetite in the NFT market. Traders are stepping back in, and attention is returning to established names instead of pure speculation.

The big question now: is this just a short-term relief bounce, or the early stages of a broader NFT revival?

Either way, momentum is back on the radar 👀🔥

$ETH THROWBACK ALERT: Smart Money Is Back — NFT Whales Are Reloading 🚨 What year is this… 2022? While NFT sentiment sits in the gutter, a whale wallet just made a bold contrarian move, scooping up 10 CryptoPunks for over 300 ETH — right as the Punk floor hovers near yearly lows. Here’s the part that has traders doing double takes: this is the same wallet that unloaded 10+ CryptoPunks above $120,000 each back when ETH was trading north of $4,000. Perfect distribution at the top. Now? Quiet accumulation in the shadows. History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes. When experienced capital starts stacking blue-chip NFTs during maximum apathy, it’s rarely random. This move screams long-term conviction — not hype chasing. Is this just nostalgia… or the early signal of an NFT rotation nobody’s watching yet? Watch the whales, not the noise. #NFTs #CryptoPunks #ETH #wendy
$ETH THROWBACK ALERT: Smart Money Is Back — NFT Whales Are Reloading 🚨

What year is this… 2022? While NFT sentiment sits in the gutter, a whale wallet just made a bold contrarian move, scooping up 10 CryptoPunks for over 300 ETH — right as the Punk floor hovers near yearly lows.

Here’s the part that has traders doing double takes: this is the same wallet that unloaded 10+ CryptoPunks above $120,000 each back when ETH was trading north of $4,000. Perfect distribution at the top. Now? Quiet accumulation in the shadows.

History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes. When experienced capital starts stacking blue-chip NFTs during maximum apathy, it’s rarely random. This move screams long-term conviction — not hype chasing.

Is this just nostalgia… or the early signal of an NFT rotation nobody’s watching yet?

Blue-chip NFTs are undergoing an eerie resurgence. The floor price of the Bored Ape Yacht Club has rebounded more than 40% from its early-year low, and CryptoPunks’ trading volume has also hit a quarterly high over the past two weeks. But does this mean the NFT market has already bottomed out—or is it just a short-term tug-of-war among existing capital? Judging by fund flows, the main driver of this rally isn’t new money entering the market. On-chain data shows that whale wallets are increasing their concentration of NFT holdings, while smaller and mid-sized traders are still exiting. This suggests the so-called recovery is more about whales accumulating at low prices than a genuine turnaround in demand. At the same time, Ethereum gas fees have not risen significantly, indicating that NFT trading hasn’t triggered broad-based market sentiment synchronization. The deeper issue is that the NFT market’s structural problems remain unresolved: liquidity is drying up, royalty disputes persist, and users are growing tired of the purely PFP-style aesthetic. Even though blue-chip projects have seen price rebounds, trading volume is still far below the 2022 peak. This looks less like a trend reversal and more like existing capital performing self-rescue in a low-liquidity environment. My view is that the current NFT market is in the bottom zone, but a true cycle reversal requires two conditions: first, the emergence of application scenarios that can attract mainstream users, rather than tools for mere speculation; second, an improvement in the macroeconomic environment so that risk assets regain liquidity. Until then, rallies in blue-chip NFTs are better treated as opportunities for swing trading—not signals for long-term holding. What do you think? Is it time to bottom-fish blue chips, or should we keep watching from the sidelines? Feel free to discuss. #NFT市场 #蓝筹NFT #加密市场分析 #CryptoPunks #BAYC
