“Punks” and More Punks – Meet the PastryPunks NFTs

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are here. Whether you like them or hate them, or cannot even grasp why they exist, were the big digital surprise of 2021. The world has bid up the price of CryptoPunks in NFTs to prices that are difficult to fathom, but our job is not to judge what is a collectible and what is not. The nonfungible.com website shows that the most recent sale of CryptoPunks #9137 has sold for 300 ETH (that’s $1,248,519.00 in analog world terms).

With “Punks” being so popular, is it any surprise that the name will be continued on by many others? Meet the PastryPunks!

It is no secret that waves of NFTs have been created. And the “Punks” theme is among the most popular even if some are not even related by name. As of December 6, 2021, the CryptoPunks NFTs have seen a 7-day volume of 38 NFTs sell for $17.537+ million. That’s about $461,500 for an average sale. The nonfungible.com site also shows that $1.669 million has been seen in all-time sales for the 19,334 CryptoPunks transactions that have been seen.

There is a limit of 10,000 unique collectibles as 8 bit punk characters. Other “Punks” have followed and tracked on nonfungible’s site– Bastard Gan Punks, COVIDPunks and Spunks which are all limited to 10,000. Unsurprisingly more “Punk” NFTs have also been seen.

This new release of the PastryPunks is reportedly “set out to revolutionize the Binance Smart Chain with amazing NFTs, unique Tokenomics with lower buy tax based on NFT holdings, and a P2E (Play to Earn)”… and the scheduled release is for the first quarter of 2022.

These punks have a purpose, according to the press release:

PastryPunks is a collection of 5000 tasty Binance NFTs that consist of bratty kids, famous chefs and crypto influencers. Revenue from minting PastryPunks is planned to be used for marketing, development of a P2E PastryPunks game, buy-backs for their BSC crypto token, additional liquidity. The revolutionary PastryPunks token smart contract on the Binance network allows for automatic buy tax reduction based on how many PastryPunks NFTs you hold. The more you hold, the lower your tax adding a built-in utility to our NFTs and dynamic tokenomics to the PastryPunks token.

The December 6, 2021 press release also noted that a presale was held on December 5, 2021. The group report that 200 BNB were raised on the Pinksale Finance platform and that over 1,000 PastryPunks NFTs (of the 5,000) had already been minted.
