A complete set of 10 Autoglyphs was purchased in a ground-breaking deal for an astounding 5,000 ETH, or almost $14.6 million in today’s dollars. This incredible transaction is the fifth-largest on-chain buy to date, and the most significant NFT transaction in the last two years.

Anonymous Mega-Deal is facilitated by Fountain.xyz.

Fountain.xyz, a prestigious brokerage that specializes in uncommon digital art, organized the illustrious auction. The buyer has a history of acquiring classic analog art, a spokesman disclosed, despite the collector’s want to remain unidentified. The collector sees purchasing Autoglyphs as no different from purchasing a traditional work of art, indicating the smooth coexistence of digital and traditional art in the dynamic art market.

Autoglyphs: The On-Chain Generative Art Masterpiece from Larva Labs

Larva Labs, the creative minds of the legendary CryptoPunks, unveiled Autoglyphs in 2019; they are the ultimate in on-chain generative art. Autoglyphs set a new standard by having every part of their existence—from the creation process to the final visual output—directly on the Ethereum blockchain, in contrast to many NFTs that rely on off-chain storage. This solves the issues with off-chain storage that earlier initiatives, such as CryptoPunks, encountered.

Unchangeable and Royalty-Free: Autoglyphs in Generative Art Define Purity

This collection of 512 Autoglyphs is the clearest example of generative art available on the blockchain because every piece is unchangeable and royalty-free. The set, one of just seven complete sets, is even more prestigious because it is one of the three developer sets that Matt Hall and John Watkinson of Larva Labs personally selected and created. The recently acquired set was once a part of the highly sought-after “Old School Collection.”

Autoglyph Legacy: A $50 Million Adventure

The Autoglyphs’ history, which has already seen over $50 million in secondary transactions, is expanded upon with this acquisition. The artworks have adorned prominent locations like Sotheby’s and the Centre Pompidou, confirming their standing as valuable items in the international art scene in addition to being digital assets.

In summary, the acquisition of the Autoglyphs set for $14.6 million not only solidifies Larva Labs’ pioneering role in on-chain generative art but also heralds the continued fusion of the conventional and digital art domains. Autoglyphs are at the forefront of this dynamic and ever-evolving art market, pushing boundaries and setting records as NFTs continue to redefine it.
