Fantom Artist Spotlight: Binary Punks Binary Punks are the full Crypto Punks collection manually converted one by one into binary form.
Launched in October 2021, and when reaching the first 5000, the last 5000 were airdropped on Christmas Day. They come with a physical version of the Punks, a specially boxed acrylic desktop piece with hand signed and numbered certificates (airdropped punks must purchase).

Vcc, the artist of DegenerApes, laughing said I should recreate Crypto Punks in Binary. I said that’s a great idea, he back tracked, ‘no no no, I was only joking that’s a massive amount of work’. So 6 weeks later of 18-20 hour days, creating each Binary Punk, manually converted one by one, I launched.
It went really well, it was a large collection on Fantom, so it was fantastic to mint so many.
We were originally on Ethereum, but the gas fees made borrowing and lending too costly [...] the team decided to test out Fantom. We never left, it was a breath of fresh air!"
