Curio Cards are non-fungible tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. They were initially created in 2017 to raise money for a group of seven different artists. Renewed interest in NFTs, coinciding with a cryptocurrency bubble, lead to a complete collection of Curio Cards being sold for ETH393 ($1,267,320) at the Christie's Post-War to Present auction in October 2021.[1][2]
Background
[edit | edit source]Curio Cards were developed by Travis Uhrig, Thomas Hunt, and Rhett Creighton, and launched on May 9, 2017. At launch, they cost $1 each, which was paid to the artists.[1] Curio Cards feature multiple sets of 30 unique digital images by seven different artists.[1] Curio Cards are colloquially considered to be the first collection of NFT artworks on the Ethereum blockchain.[2][3][4][5] On October 1, 2021, a complete collection of Curio Cards, including the digital misprint "17b", was sold by an anonymous seller for $1.2 million at Christie's Post-War to Present auction held in New York.[1][6] This was the first Christie's auction where bidding was conducted solely using Ethereum cryptocurrency.[1]
