Dfinity’s Internet Computer has announced the release of 10,000 nonfungible tokens. Users are eligible to claim their free token Wednesday at 8 pm UTC.
Conceptualized by brothers Przemek and Tomasz Chojecki, alongside Adam Stępnik, the trio was inspired to create the avatars following acronym comparisons to the 1990s hip-hop duo Insane Clown Posse and the overwhelming success of the legendary CryptoPunk NFTs.
Following a series of exclusive early releases, it is expected that only 3,000 punks will be available to claim, one per user, at the time of release. Internet Computer is a cryptocurrency token (ICP) that allows users to build applications, websites and digital services.
Alternatives to popular social media networks, including LinkedIn, Medium, WhatsApp, as well as community-driven sites such as Reddit have already been created by community members.According to a recent tweet, the ICPunk drop has garnered notable attention from the crypto community, with analytical data reporting 89,000 visitors to the NFT website since it went live.
