CryptoPunks: The Evolution of Digital Art

Yuga Labs and Zak Group, the prestigious London-based design office, have joined forces in an exciting collaboration to create a book that will capture the essence of CryptoPunks. This unique book will serve as an official documentation and comprehensive catalog of the remarkable NFT collection launched in 2017 by tech visionaries Matt Hall and John Watkinson of Larva Labs.

Since its debut, CryptoPunks has left an indelible mark on the world of cryptocurrencies and digital art. It has become a flagship project that transcends the boundaries of cryptocurrency, reaching out to a broader culture. In fact, it has achieved noteworthy collaborations, such as a partnership with famed jewelry brand Tiffany & Co to launch limited edition pendants, demonstrating its growing influence and appeal.

The main goal of this book is to give voice to the passionate community surrounding CryptoPunks. In its pages, it will share untold stories and experiences related to this revolutionary project after it gained attention in the NFT space. It will be a testament to the dedication and creativity that has shaped punk culture in the digital age.

This fascinating compendium will detail the 10,000 unique pieces that make up CryptoPunks, providing an in-depth look at their diversity and uniqueness. It will also include contributions from renowned personalities from the world of web3, digital art, design and technology. Figures such as SnowFro, Beeple, 6529, Deafbeef and the founders of Larva Labs themselves will share their perspectives and knowledge, further enriching the book's content.

Engagement with the Punk community

Engagement with the punk community is an integral part of this project. The book will incorporate material generated by the punks themselves from Discord and Twitter communities, paying homage to their vibrant participation and influence on the evolution of CryptoPunks.

Zak Kyes, creative director of Zak Group, noted, "CryptoPunks is a powerful collision of art, design and the Internet in the midst of the 21st century." With this book, it will present a unique opportunity to shape culture in real time. The collaboration with Yuga Labs has made it possible to invite artists, technologists, curators and, of course, the punks themselves to create a masterpiece in the form of a user manual, archive and catalog raisonnè, all gathered in one place.

Pre-sales of this exciting book will begin in the fall of 2023, while its official release is scheduled for this coming winter. It will be a significant milestone that will immortalize the history of CryptoPunks and serve as an enduring source of inspiration for the punk community and beyond. Get ready to immerse yourself in an extraordinary journey through the fusion of technology, art and unbridled creativity that defines CryptoPunks.
