"Sell me if you can"

This is exactly what one of the punk holders heard from his NFT. And he accepted this challenge.

In our holder chat, owner of Punk #1351 decided to sell it for 10 000 TON, no matter what. He made it a very creative PR campaign, which includes the website, biography, stickerpack, and he even plans a wedding! Such initiatives are welcomed by our team and we truly believe that 1351 will be sold for desired price.

You could buy this or any other punk on 👉 Disintar or GetGems

Wedding of Punk 1351!

The first big community event (the wedding of Punk 1351 and Punk 248) - will happen tomorrow, May 10, at 13:15 UTC+3. As of now, guests are taking their seats and occupying the hall.

We have once again convinced Duchamp was right - the new digital culture of transformed values is arising, and our society is shifting to new social structures.

💍 BTW, you may also take a part in this beautiful occasion!

Secondary market

The trade volume of TON Punks💎 almost reached one million dollars. We expected a nice number there, but with TON price fluctuations we simply ran out of patience. At the moment, we share 60% of the entire TON NFT secondary market. The average profit gained by people who minted Punks is unimaginable 420%. We continue our active work on this project since these results are only beginning. We also want to thank all of our community for #HODL and bullish expectations, our success is only possible because of cooperation.

Proof-of-Work

Our P2E game will feature a revolutionary proof-of-work mechanic. Its goal is to reward and distinguish active community members from random "money hunters."

While playing, you will be able to raise your community level, which will later provide you with access to airdrops and private sales. Also, these in-game levels will be used for primary $PUNK token distribution.

Finally, the main advantage of our game will be the NFT integration. You will be able to connect your TON Punk to save your progress. This progress will remain tethered to the Punk even if you sell it, thus significantly increasing its cost.

By the way guys, we have Twitter, so it will be great if you subscribe and share some posts to help promote collection in global community, that’s what we really need. And thanks everyone for all your support you already did.

Today we would like to share the sales statistics of our collection on the secondary market.

The total sales amount is 659000💎 ~ $800,000 at the current rate, or $1,260,000 when calculating the amount at the rate of each individual sale. This is an absolute record for the TON NFT market.

The number of deals slightly exceeds 1000, most of the holders continue to hold their punks with an iron grip 🦾

And finally - the average price of a punk on the secondary market was 631 TON - more than 4X from minting price 🎉

Telegram Premium users can set those GIFs as their animated avatar — it looks pretty!

Our common cause

Open source is often considered a foundation of any blockchain system, boosting its progress significantly. We suppose it's necessary to form a contribution culture in TON.

Today we're publishing our Telegram bots repositories to all interested developers and project managers. These will help to organize your NFT community.

https://github.com/TON-Punks

Some of TON NFT projects already spotted these bots and proceeded to modify them - you may see these teams appearing on Fork repo pages.

Soulbound NFTs on TON

On January 26, 2022, Vitalik Buterin introduced the SoulBound NFT concept in his blog. The actual difference between ordinary NFT and Soulbound token is that it's neither tradable nor marketable — it remains tethered to one single owner forever, and its purpose is to reflect achievements of the owner. The original Vitalik’s write-up is available 👉here.

Our partners from Getgems disclosed a new grant for smart-contract developers. It will be delivered to the team that will successfully implement the Soulbound NFT standard in TON.

Task details combined with some TON-specific ideas could be found 👉there.

It seems very important for us to ensure such a standard will appear on TON as soon as possible since we see a lot of use cases for it — even in our projects. This is why we're adding 1000💎 to the grant fund, doubling its total amount.

🏙Punk City Sustainable P2E

Today we're sharing our Neon Paper — quintessence of the next-gen P2E Punk City economic model.

The document includes:

1) Mistakes analysis of modern Play-to-Earn project economies — financial pyramids and dependence on new players.

2) Alternative proposal — our own development of balance improvements and sustainable economy based on creating value

3) Influence of Play-to-Earn on mass cryptocurrency adoption, both in general and particularly with TON. Real-world consequences and labor market changes.

We truly believe that TON Community should avoid Stepn's and Axie's mistakes.

Enjoy reading.

Punk City leaves closed beta the next week.
