Who are the team behind SolPunks?
The Solanart team were the original creators of the SolPunks, but it is now a 100% community-driven DAO. We have a community-elected council of Aliens, Apes & Zombies that help drive the brand forwards. Elections are conducted from time to time.
What are SolPunks?
SolPunks consist of 10,000 NFTs which have the same attributes as the OG CryptoPunks on ETH. The only difference is that all SolPunks have the Solana background gradient and an entirely different coding language. This alone keeps our IP protected and your investments safe. We also have trademarks in place for extra security!
Why SolPunks?
SolPunks are one of the earliest NFTs to start minting on the Solana blockchain. We are very proud to be the 1st Solana NFT to sell out — giving birth to the Solanart marketplace (the first NFT marketplace on Solana) and kickstarting the whole NFT ecosystem on the Solana blockchain.
The historic value of being the 1st project will see long-term gains. We appreciate that this alone may not be enough. We have multiple reasons to be a SolPunk holder: due to being an OG in the eco-system, we get lots of WL opportunities & alpha, and we also have our Punk-Loyalty program which is held periodically to give back to our loyal holders.
When was SolPunks started?
SolPunks started minting on the 8th of May 2021 and completed mint on the 14th of June 2021, making SolPunks the first collection to complete mint on Solana.
What utility do the SolPunks have?
While the SolPunks are primarily a PFP, we are very much working towards providing some real utility in the future. We currently offer giveaways to our Twitter raiders every week. We also have our Punk Loyalty Program which is run bi-weekly. We are currently in the process of exploring our staking options and creating a token — this however will take time to do correctly.
Where can I find SolPunks?
SolPunks live on the Solana blockchain. You can find them on the major Solana marketplaces — Magic Eden, Tensor and Orbis. You can also browse the entire collection any time, with full rarity and attribute data, right here in our Gallery.
How to purchase a SolPunk?
Getting your first SolPunk takes just a few minutes:
- Buy $SOL from an exchange such as Coinbase, Binance or Kraken.

- Transfer your $SOL to your new wallet.
- Head to a marketplace like Magic Eden, Tensor or Orbis to find your desired SolPunk.
- Connect your wallet to the marketplace and purchase your SolPunk.
- Your SolPunk will show up in your wallet in less than a minute.
Are there any legal issues with SolPunks?
There are no legal issues with SolPunks. We are coded in a different language on a separate blockchain and, of course, have the iconic Solana background to distinguish us from the ETH-based Punks. We also have trademarks in place to protect your investments further!
Where can I find rarity information?
Each SolPunk has its own rarity rank. You can find rarity information on the Gallery page and also on the Attributes page, where every trait is broken down with its scarcity across the collection.
