Claims & Timeline
Naked Punks are claimable under two phases: a holder claim, then a public mint.
1. Holder claim
If you own the matching CryptoPunk (or are delegated via delegate.cash), you can claim the same ID here. The claim window will start the week of September 15. Once open, holders can claim at any point in the future. Batch claiming will be supported.
2. Public claim
48 hours after the holder claim window, the public claim window will open. The unclaimed tokens will be claimed randomly using ERC721N. Priced in ETH, limited to 10 per‑wallet.
The Contracts
ERC721N - first anti-grift claim mechanism
The Naked Punks are using the first anti-grift claim mechanism. Many drops used "delayed reveal": sell out first, reveal traits later. That let teams influence who got rare pieces. Lots of nasty manipulation happened under the hood because of this flawed mechanism. ERC721N solves that by committing to a virtual shuffle up front and assigns tokens randomly as you mint. No waiting for reveal, and no post‑sale mapping games. The contract will be open-source, available for anyone to use.
Upgradeable renderer with holder choice
The contract routes metadata through a renderer. I may offer new visuals or experiences around Naked Punks later, but holders can also opt into their preferred, approved renderer per token. No one can force a look on your token; overrides persist across transfers.
Art only - no roadmap, no utility
This is digital art. There are no promises, no roadmap, and no utility. If new renderers appear, they are optional experiences layered on the same on‑chain tokens.
FAQ
Where are the images?
Images and JSON can be served from IPFS. A SHA‑256 hash of the full 10k composite PNG is stored on-chain, so anyone can verify that the set matches the contract. The full PNG is available here. You can also browse Naked Punks on the interactive canvas.
On which chain are the contracts deployed?
The contracts will be deployed on Ethereum Mainnet.
Is it linked to CryptoPunks?
No official link to CryptoPunks, Larva Labs, Node Foundation, or any other entity. It's a derivative project made by a holder, for fellow holders.
How do I claim?
If you hold the matching CryptoPunk in your wallet, you can claim the same ID here during the holder phase. If your Punk is in a vault or cold wallet, you can delegate claim rights to a hot wallet using delegate.cash and claim from the delegated wallet.
What is delegate.cash?
delegate.cash is a standard that lets you safely delegate rights (like claiming or minting) from a vault/cold wallet to a separate hot wallet. You keep the Punk in the secure wallet and use the delegated wallet to interact, without moving the asset.
Dev Naked Punks
A small set of Dev Naked Punks will be kept to cover development and project needs. They're minted from a capped reserve and assigned randomly - no sniping of specific IDs. This reserve is part of the total supply, based on unclaimed IDs and doesn't reduce holder claim rights.
Exceptional cases
Notorious verified Punk owners who can't or don't want to connect a wallet (e.g., vaults or institutions) will be able to claim. It's the same claim as everyone else - no special IDs, perks, or transfers - just requires a manual verification step to make it safe. This is rare and will require clear proof of ownership.
Where can I trade Naked Punks?
You can trade Naked Punks on the marketplace on this website. Naked Punks are standard ERC-721 tokens, so they can also be traded on any marketplace that supports ERC-721 (e.g., OpenSea).
Safety & fees
Interacting with Ethereum costs gas. Marketplace fees are 0% and royalties are 0%. You only pay gas. Always double‑check addresses and transactions before signing.
