Why the CryptoPunks Sale Matters for Digital Artists

This week, something big happened in the digital art world: the intellectual property behind CryptoPunks, which is arguably the most iconic NFT project ever, has officially changed hands. And not just to anyone; but to The Infinite Node Foundation, a nonprofit committed to preserving digital art for the long haul. Reports say the IP sold for around $20 million. But more important than the price tag is what this means for the future of digital art — and for digital artists like you.
