CryptoPunks

An artist-led exhibition created by @larvalabs & developed through NODE’s collaborative framework - 10,000 presents CryptoPunks as a living artwork. @nodefnd have put together an amazing weekend of art & community to celebrate. Welcome home, Punks. nodefoundation.com/program/10000

Never miss a Punk moment. Today we're shipping a notifications system for @cryptopunks: → A public Telegram channel of every marketplace event → A panel for custom emails in plain language ("all bids on Zombies over 100 ETH") → Webhooks for builders nodefoundation.com/blog/notificat…

Today we're launching nodefoundation.com/cryptopunks, a single page that brings the full story together. Whether you've held a Punk since 2017 or you're encountering the work for the first time, everything you need is in one place.

From Yuga to NODE to Larva Labs. Forever Punk #98. Eras aren't meant to be endless. They're meant to complete, including my era at the helm of @cryptopunks. Stewardship, by definition, is temporary. It's caretaking until something can stand on its own, or until you no longer need to mediate it. In my eyes, stewardship was never about control or ownership. It was about care and support. That's the role my stewardship played, to make room for something more permanent. A home. CryptoPunks have found homes before. On Ethereum. In a big pink book. MoMA. I found my home with my Punks, more than ever when I lost my physical home in the fires. Home is a place you can return to. Home carries memory. Home gives structure to something alive without fixing it in place. And that's the spirit I hope continues for this project and the community with @nodefnd as their home. Under my care, CryptoPunks moved from the artists who made them, through Yuga, and landing softly at NODE. Helping open the Foundation's doors with the first solo Punks exhibition, this was an incredible honor and a wonderful encore after I stepped down as GM last year. Thankful to Micky, Becky, and the entire NODE team for that opportunity. And now I'm going back to the beginning. To the source. To my new home. Matt & John. I'm officially joining @larvalabs. I spent my last chapter taking care of the collection. Now I'm working with the creators who made that collection. My focus will be on their legacy beyond CryptoPunks alone, the studio's day to day work, and supporting their incomparable vision wherever it leads. More on everything else I'm thinking about soon.

We've enabled 7702-supported wallets to buy @cryptopunks with USDC. This approach follows our "preserve and extend" principle and simplifies the buying process for collectors denominated in stablecoins. nodefoundation.com/blog/stablecoi…

Try it now: cryptopunks.app

You can now buy CryptoPunks with stablecoins. USDC purchasing is available on the official marketplace.

Thanks to all who attended and celebrated our opening and 10,000 by @larvalabs last weekend. It takes a network to make art work.

Since people seemed to like the first video, we decided to put another short Punks story together, using AI. Hope you enjoy! This one is called "305: Three-Oh-Five Til I Die"

What does it mean to make art with a network? Not on it. Not about it. With it. An essay for @ethereum. I was invited to write a guest piece, this essay reflects on network as a medium, @CryptoPunks and the art practice of @larvalabs, and the future of institutions like @nodefnd stewarding art that will outlive museums. It's been an honor to shepherd CryptoPunks into their next chapter. Punks forever. 💅

gm from @nodefnd incredible seeing the @cryptopunks community come together here artists, collectors, builders, longtime holders and new faces alike the energy is infectious who else made it out?

Don’t miss the Punk group photo at the mural created by @LoroMasnah today at 3:00PM at NODE.

No better way to end the weekend than tomorrow's Punk Brunch presented by @OpenSea featuring the "Punks Minifigure Lab" by @generativegoods & @ArtOnBlockchain, plus art by @piv_piv. January 25, 2026 10:30AM - 1:30PM. Punks may bring a +1 with them at entry, details in Discord.

A live sale. At Node. Punk 2457 was just acquired by @goodvibesclub in front of a live audience of hundreds of fellow Punks. This is culture. This is community. These are the vibes.

A Punk sells during welcoming remarks and @nodefnd erupts!

Welcome to NODE. There's always a place for @cryptopunks.

WELCOME HOME

Really enjoyed spending time at @SFMOMA and seeing this exhibition, organized by the @cryptopunks community. Getting the walkthrough directly from the artist @halecar2 made it even more special. Grateful for the experience and the conversations around it.

10,000 at NODE Foundation has been an incredibly special experience for us. From the beginning, CryptoPunks was an experiment in digital value and ownership - a new kind of networked art and protocol. CryptoPunks has been shaped over time by the people who hold it, trade it, argue about it, and build culture around it. This exhibition is our clearest attempt to present this thesis in material form and physical space. We’re deeply grateful to @mickymalka and Becky Kleiner for building a home for CryptoPunks and a space capable of supporting work like this, and for @redbeardnft for facilitating this opportunity with @nodefnd. Thank you @asacurates, @philmohun, @loudsqueakmedia, @q2design, @yungwknd for your curation, creativity, and skills in bringing our nerdiest of visions to life. And of course to @naughtaliestone who worked closely with us to develop the exhibition and bring this all together. We’re excited for everyone to see it, especially the CryptoPunks community, whose passion for the work has carried this project far beyond anything we could have imagined. — Matt Hall & John Watkinson (Larva Labs)
