To clarify, one can argue that Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) played a huge part in the crypto market recovery this year. Specifically, NFT trading volume surpassed $10 billion in Q3. Celebrities from all industries are slowly showing more and more interest in minting their own NFTs. These include Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg.
Historically, one can trace the craze for NFTs back to the Beeple taking away $69 million at the world’s first NFT auction in March. Coincidentally, Fingerprints DAO began in March 2021. Presently, it holds over 250 members and has one of the largest collections of smart contract-based artworks.
For instance, one of the most significant large collections it holds is the 26 Autoglyphs. Autoglyphs are the first artworks to be created and stored on the Ethereum blockchain. Specifically, it was minted in 2019 by the creators of CryptoPunks. In total, only 512 Autoglyphs exist. More so, their floor price is currently over $1.3 million.
