A snapshot of addresses for Optimism Airdrop #4 was taken on Jan 10, 2024. More detailed information on eligibility criteria is available in the documentation here.

The Superchain has become the home for creative expression — whether it’s on Zora, Base, Ethereum L1, or OP Mainnet. Every great society needs artists, and creative contributions play a vital role in shaping the story of the Optimism Collective: over 200,000 addresses have created NFT collections on the Superchain. Creators and artists are helping the Optimism Collective grow and thrive, while bringing creativity to the Superchain.

Each NFT collection has a different supply, and each NFT unit can have a different rarity. But there are several other factors that can determine how much an NFT is worth. For example, limited series NFTs with specific use cases tend to be more valuable. The founding team, along with the artists and community, can also affect the demand for NFTs.

In other words, the value of an NFT could be related to who created it, its value in play-to-earn games, or simply community and market sentiment. There are many cases of successful NFT projects, but there are even more that have failed. Make sure to DYOR before trading or investing in NFTs and don’t use money you can’t afford to lose.

The most expensive NFTs ever sold Let’s look at some of the most expensive NFTs ever sold as of May 2022. The prices mentioned below are based on the time of the sale.

1. Everydays: The First 5000 Days - $69.3 million Everydays: The First 5000 Days is a digital artwork by American graphic designer Mike Winkelmann, better known as Beeple. This NFT was sold for $69.3 million in February 2021, purchased by NFT investor Metakovan through an auction sale at Christie’s. The NFT is a collage of Beeple’s 5,000 earlier artworks. Since 2007, Beeple started uploading a new image to his Instagram feed every day for 13 years. His “everydays” art pieces are often set in post-apocalyptic landscapes, and usually have some relation to the current news or pop culture. This NFT collage can be considered a representation of Beeple’s development as a digital artist.

2. Clock - $52.7 million Clock depicts a dynamic timer that counts the number of days Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, has spent in prison. Assange is involved in a highly controversial case. He’s facing extradition from Britain to the US for multiple espionage charges and up to 175 years behind bars. The NFT was curated by the digital artist Pak and Assange himself to support his legal bills. It was auctioned for 16,953 ETH in February 2022 to AssangeDAO, a decentralized organization (DAO) established to crowdfund the NFT sale. Apart from the ETH they used to acquire Clock, AssangeDAO still holds 17,422 ETH they initially raised to purchase the NFT. Pak and Assange not only curated Clock, they also allowed anyone to create their own NFTs. They can tokenize a censored message for any price they want or for free. The message will turn into an image showing the words struck through, as though it was being censored. The proceeds for this NFT series will go to pro-freedom organizations Assange and Pak choose.

3. HUMAN ONE - $28.9 million Another record-smashing NFT by Beeple, HUMAN ONE is the first physical artwork he creates. It was auctioned at Christie’s for $28.9 million in November 2021. HUMAN ONE is a 3D moving sculpture with 4 digital screens. It displays an endless video of an astronaut journeying through places at different times of the day. The hybrid artwork reflects Beeple’s artistic ambitions beyond the digital realm.

4. CryptoPunk #5822 - $23.7 million As one of the first famous NFT projects, these pixelated CryptoPunks continue to make the list of the most expensive NFTs ever sold. CryptoPunk #5822 was sold for 8,000 ETH in February 2022 to the CEO of a blockchain technology startup. It comes from the rarest alien edition — there’re only 9 of them in the entire NFT collection. What makes it extra special is that it’s also one of the 333 with a bandana.

5. CryptoPunk #7523 - $11.75 million The next most valuable NFT comes from the CryptoPunk family as well. Before the #5822 sale, #7523 was the most expensive CryptoPunk ever sold. CryptoPunk #7523 was auctioned at Sotheby's for $11.75 million during the COVID pandemic in June 2021. Not only it’s part of the extremely rare alien edition, but it’s also the only mask-wearing alien, which is what the buyer loved about this particular CryptoPunk.

6. TPunk #3442 - $10.5 million Some people consider TPunks as Tron’s version of CryptoPunks, with the familiar pixelated faces that carry different rarity and attributes. One of the rarest is this joker-face TPunk #3442. It was sold for 120 million TRX in August 2021 to Justin Sun, CEO of Tron. This was the most expensive NFT ever sold on the Tron blockchain. Sun didn’t keep the TPunk, though. He donated it to APENFT right after the purchase.

7. CryptoPunk #4156 - $10.26 million Yes, another CryptoPunk among the most expensive NFTs. CryptoPunk #4156 is an ape with a blue bandana. Its previous owner was someone with a matching pseudonym “Punk 4156,” who acquired the NFT at $1.25 million in February 2021. However, he sold the NFT for $10.26 million in December of the same year.

8. CryptoPunk #5577 - $7.7 million At #8 sits another ape-like CryptoPunk, this time with a cowboy hat. CryptoPunk #5577 was sold for 2,501 ETH in February 2022. Although not confirmed, many believe that the buyer was Robert Leshner, CEO of Compound Finance, who tweeted a “Yeehaw” after the purchase happened.

9. CryptoPunk #3100 - $7.58 million Sold at $7.58 million in March 2021, CryptoPunk #3100 is also one of the nine rare alien punks and it also wears a headband. As of May 2022, this Punk is listed for 35,000 ETH. If it ever gets sold, it will be the biggest NFT sale in the history of CryptoPunks.

10. CryptoPunk #7804 - $7.57 million CryptoPunk #7804 is the sixth CryptoPunk in our list. It’s a pipe-smoking alien with a cool cap and sunglasses. #7804 was owned by the CEO of the designer software company Figma, who proudly referred to it as the “digital Mona Lisa.” The NFT was sold for $7.57 million in March 2021.

A cryptocurrency is just like a digital form of cash. You can use it to pay friends for your share of the bar tab, buy that new pair of socks you've been eyeing up 👀, or book flights ✈️ and hotels 🏨 for your next holiday. Because cryptocurrency is digital, it can also be sent to friends and family anywhere in the world.

Just like PayPal or bank transfers, right? Well, not really. It's way more interesting!

You see, traditional online payment gateways are owned by organizations. They hold your money for you, and you need to ask them to transfer it on your behalf when you want to spend it.

In cryptocurrencies, there isn't an organization. You, your friends, and thousands of others can act as your own banks by running free software. Your computer connects with other people's computers, meaning you communicate directly – no middlemen required!

To use cryptocurrency, you don't need to sign up for a website with an email address and password. You can download a wide variety of apps onto your smartphone to begin sending and receiving within minutes.
