What is a COVIDPunk?

COVIDPunks are 10,000 parody Punks on the Ethereum network. Each Punk wears a programmatically-assigned mask and has special pandemic-themed metadata (vaccination, infection, etc.) that affects its background color and rarity. NOTE: This is NOT a Larva Labs project!

This parody project raised over $30,000 USD for humanitarian relief. It is an experiment in Web3 ethos intended to enact positive social change. Each COVIDPunk is a reminder of the COVID era, which happened during—and perhaps even caused—the rise of the NFT.

COVIDPunk FEATURES

COVIDPunks are randomly-assigned pandemic-themed attributes that include infection status and vaccination status. Punks that are not vaccinated are far more likely to be infected with COVID-19, and each infected Punk is either "asymptomatic," or experiencing symptoms such as "lack of taste and smell" and "difficulty breathing."

COVID INFECTION STATUS:

Based on real-world probability, each Punk is HEALTHY or INFECTED with COVID-19. A HEALTHY punk is given a blue background, and an INFECTED punk is given a red background.

VACCINATION STATUS:

Each Punk also has a chance of being VACCINATED with one of three curiously familiar vaccines. VACCINATED Punks are significantly less likely to also be INFECTED. Yellow is added to the background of every VACCINATED punk.

BACKGROUND DETERMINATION:

Because some of these new traits can be stacked, background colors can be mixed, giving HEALTHY + VACCINATED Punks a green background and INFECTED + VACCINATED Punks an orange background. Sweet!


RARITY FRAMES

Each punk also has a specially-colored frame to indicate its relative rarity.

  • ???

  • Legendary
  • Epic
  • SuperRare

There are also a few surprises in store for some lucky Punks.

OUR MISSION

It's no secret that the Blockchain is revolutionary, especially in the realm of digital art. Hank and the team are thrilled to have made a positive impact with this experimental art project. We are inspired by the creative achievements of Larva Labs and other pioneers in the space. We look forward to contributing further to the NFT space, and are particularly interested in ways NFT sales can be leveraged for charity.

Hopefully our donation to CARE inspires others to do the same. We aim to create NFTs that are fun, affordable, and impactful, and hope to make greater contributions to this space in the future. We thank you for joining us at the start of this great journey!
