what's SolPunks?

SolPunks is one of the earliest NFT collections on the Solana blockchain, featuring 10,000 procedurally generated pixel art avatars inspired by the iconic CryptoPunks. Each SolPunk is unique, defined by a set of attributes and traits that contribute to its rarity score, enabling a collectible ecosystem where owners can trade, display, or utilize them in Solana-based applications. The project gained traction in the Solana community shortly after launch, positioning itself as Solana's counterpart to Ethereum's CryptoPunks. It has included community initiatives like token airdrops for holders and cultural experiments such as crypto rap battles, though it has also faced criticisms and discussions around its growth model.
