Hey guys, today we have a pretty unique project to take a look at. Inverted Cyber Punks are a collection of 3,045 NFTs soon to be minting onto the Ethereum Blockchain. Inverted Cyber Punks are slightly derivative/inspired by Crypto Punks, although this isn’t any copy and paste job, this is new and authentic artwork that looks great, with a little utility for holders.
Let’s take a closer look at the project.
Unfortunately, the founder is undoxxed, we only know that he goes by the name of Tim. As always, with projects like these, you must exercise caution and only mint the NFT from a burner wallet – we have no idea of the intentions of the founder and we have no founder accountability.
The team is totally undoxxed and we have no social profiles to view at all.
The collection is a crazy twist on the famed CryptoPunks collection. The team has taken the regular CryptoPunks, flipped them around and upscaled the resolution. Next, they have been given some traits that are reminiscent of the Mutant Ape Yacht Club Collection.
Each Inverted Cyber Punk appears to be a high-resolution mutated version of its former self. The artwork is bold, colourful and otherworldly at times.
Check it out, it is awesome!
The only strange point I can make about the artwork is that all previews found on the projects site are facing the left, whereas all previews found on Twitter face right. This is strange to see and I am not totally sure why. Perhaps the team changed their mind at some stage and forgot to make the required changes to their site or Twitter.
The utility on offer is limited –
The team are planning to form a DAO which will allow all Inverted Cyber Punk holders to have a vote on the projects future.
The team has purported a slew of benefits for holders, which will include giveaways and raffles, play to earn games, and staking mechanics. The details on all of these mechanisms are not currently available. We aren’t sure how they will come about but the community wallet will supposedly be filled with 35% of the proceeds from the initial mint of the project, along with a majority of secondary royalties going to the community wallet. These funds, in turn, should in theory allow the team to build out the project’s planned features.
Like a lot of art/pfp projects, the team are planning to donate a small percentage of the mints proceeds to a range of charities that will be selected by holders via the DAO. Unlike a lot of projects the team wish to donate to a selection of charities rather than just one donation.
The holder benefits are slim, and there isn’t a lot of detail at the moment. The best thing to do is to see this as an artwork project and take the project at face value.
The Road Map is very brief and the benefits are very vague – with just a few stages of completion. There are no fixed dates for the completion of the Road Map, so holders may be waiting some time for features to become available.
Currently, the team only has a Twitter account – but the account has only been posting around a week so I am sure we will soon see the release of a Discord.
Smart Contract is not yet available for review.
One Inverted Cyber Punk NFT will cost 0.02 ETH.
Mint date is to be announced.
The project has some great artwork. You can really see that a lot of effort has gone into it. I found myself staring at multiple pieces and looking deeper and deeper and finding new aspects each time. It’s very catchy and it’s got that factor that people really appreciate.
On the flipside, this is a totally undoxxed project.
We have no idea if this will be a legit project or not. We don’t know anything about the founder, or the team. We don’t even have Twitter alias profiles. The Road Map also feels very haphazardly thrown together – details are minimal and nothing is expanded upon. We have no idea about the game planned or staking mechanisms. I feel the team is being overambitious here.
In conclusion, brilliant artwork that is sure to hook the attention of many, however I have some concerns about the future of the project and the founders.
If you choose to mint, it is best to use a fresh burner wallet to avoid any nasty situations.
As always, please do your own research. This report does not constitute financial advice.
