ABOUT
IOTAPUNKS is a community-driven collectibles NFT project.
It arose from the idea of using Cryptopunk as base design to then combine them with individual prominent features of well-known people from the IF.
Iota is very community oriented.
The IF maintained a close exchange with the community from the start. During this time, three familiar faces, especially in the German community, always stood out. So this is not a cheap copy of Cryptopunks, but a project in which the punks were individually adapted to the appearance and characters of our three protagonists. With our project it was important for us to establish a close connection to the IF and the community. In addition, it should be possible for everyone to own an NFT even with a small budget. We are by no means going to charge horrendous sums here. Be part of it, we are only at the very beginning, and soooooon a lot is sure to happen. With Dom, Hans and Holger, as a community member, you could build up a close connection over time via Ask me Anything, Twitter and Discord-Voice Chat. The idea of the project arose from this connection.
NFT – COLLECTION
IOTAPUNKS is a collection of 15,555 NFT´s, made with nothing than love. Every IOTAPUNKS is unique. When you buy a IOTAPUNKS you are not only buying an individual art piece, you are also buying yourself into a project which is part of the IOTA-NFT Ecosystem.
The IOTAPUNKS are 32×32 pixel art images, generated algorithmically. Each IOTAPUNKS has different attributes, and some are rarer than others. Simply put, the rarer an item, the higher its value.
The randomly combines art of pieces to generate 15,555 unique and diverse IOTAPUNKS.

Frequently Asked Question
The project consists of 15,555 algorithmically generated 32×32 pixel art images featuring random attributes based on three well-known people from the IOTA Foundation. Each IOTAPUNK has different attributes, and some are rarer than others.
No — the sale phase is over. IOTAPUNKS is no longer sold to new buyers. The only actions available now are swapping an IOTAPUNK you already own between Layer 2 and Layer 1, or minting with $PUNK you already hold.
IOTAPUNKS are no longer sold — minting on Layer 2 is a free, self-service redemption of 100,000 $PUNK per NFT you already hold, not a purchase from us. $PUNK itself trades on an independent, permissionless Layer-2 DEX — see “How do I get an IOTAPUNK onto Layer 1 if I don’t already hold one?” below for the full walkthrough.
Not all IOTAPUNKS have been minted yet. Minting isn’t scheduled or limited to a countdown — any existing $PUNK holder can still redeem theirs on Layer 2 at any time.
There’s no fixed minting date anymore. Minting is an ongoing, self-service action — any existing $PUNK holder can redeem their token for a mint on Layer 2 at any time.
No new sales are happening, and IOTAPUNKS does not sell $PUNK or IOTAPUNKS NFTs. The project only supports two self-service actions: swapping an IOTAPUNK you already own from Layer 2 to Layer 1, and minting on Layer 2 with 100,000 $PUNK you already hold per NFT (a free smart-contract redemption, not a purchase). $PUNK itself trades on an independent, third-party Layer-2 DEX we do not operate or control.
Connect your wallet on Layer 2 and redeem 100,000 $PUNK directly against the mint contract. No purchase price, only the usual network fee. At your own risk, like any smart-contract interaction.
Connect your wallet on Layer 2, then enter the Token ID and your IOTA Rebased (L1) address in the bridge form and confirm the transaction. This is one-way and irreversible — it can take up to 30 minutes to appear on Layer 1. Like any on-chain transaction, it’s done at your own risk.
IOTAPUNKS is no longer sold by us — new ones can still be minted from $PUNK on Layer 2, but there is currently no marketplace to buy an already-minted IOTAPUNK on Layer 1. IOTAPUNKS does not sell $PUNK or NFTs. $PUNK trades on an independent, permissionless Layer-2 DEX, open to any holder the same way.
This guide is for you whether you don’t hold $PUNK yet, already hold some on Layer 2, or already hold an IOTAPUNK on Layer 2 — it covers all three: Get the step-by-step guide (PDF).

It’s 0%.
NFT royalties give you a percentage of the sale price each time your NFT creation is sold on a marketplace. NFT royalty payments are perpetual and are executed by smart contracts automatically. With most market-places, you can choose your royalty percentage. 5-10% is considered a standard royalty.
Right, you can. However, by taking a screenshot of the NFT, this does not make you the rightful owner of the artwork.
IOTAPUNKS grants you an unlimited, worldwide license to use, copy, and display your NFTs. IOTAPUNKS NFT holders are given commercial rights to their specific NFT. You can sell it as you like. You are free to do anything you want to do with it. We’ve given you the licensing rights for the NFTs, but not for our logos, name or site images.
NFT stands for non-fungible token, which basically means that it’s a one-of-a-kind digital asset that belongs to you and (exclusively) only you. The most popular NFTs right now include artwork and music, but can also include videos and even tweets.
NFTs are designed to give you something that can’t be copied: ownership of the work (however, the artist can still retain the copyright and reproduction rights, just like with physical artwork). To put it in terms of physical art collection: anyone can buy a Monet print. But only one person can own the original version
In the context of digital art, NFT enables transparent and trackable ownership. Whenever an NFT gets transferred to someone else, it is recorded on the blockchain/tangle. And this record is completely accessible to anyone. By taking a screenshot of an NFT, this does not make you the rightful owner of the artwork.
The market for NFT is expected to grow rapidly owing to rapidly advancing digital economy, increasing awareness among consumers about crypto currencies, blockchain technology and NFT, rising trend of owing true, original, and real possessions such as music audio, movie, video, lyrics, pictures or portraits.
