HAPPY 4/20 BLOB PUNKS😆
⚡️We are now LIVE on Ordex!

Blob Punks🍸are the first ever PFP Collection on Ethereum ERC4844 Blobs! 🧠
During this experimental🧪fair mint anyone could mint Blob Punks from our website reserving an entire Blob GIF per Punk🚤
Collection contains🏅5157 valid Blob Punks minted during the first 12 Hours of Mint + 100 team mints🕶️
The fair mint cutoff point ✂️ was April 11th at 10PM New York Time, when the React site stopped working faced with peak network demand for Blobs 😱
💡Fun BLOB fact, Base L2 transaction proofs are stored to the ETH blockchain- every 2 minutes🕓in a set of Blobs.
😈The first collection on ETH or any chain where each pfp has a whole blob to itself🏎️. Base uses the exact same blobs for thousands of txs at a time🚊.
🎸Shoutout to @ordex_io and their hardworking team for working with us to get this out!
Help us share by dropping a screenshot of your Blob Punks in the comments!🧑🎨

Our page is under construction. ORDEX is the only place to check if your punks made the cut! There were punks that were double or triple minted, txs without blobs, etc. Only the FIRST tx through that had the right hashes is valid, we included gas boosters to make that part fair.

Blob Punks Mint has been compromised!
Our community experiment has failed it seems.
What went wrong? :
* At approximately 10PM EST, there was a suspicious consistent amount of mints being made. At this time, community members will still able to mint tokens
* At 11PM EST, messages of failed transactions started filling our DMs - there was no code change at this moment, and the site also presented issues for the developer mint as well
* At 2AM EST, it was clear that there was a 3 hour window that the Blob Punks were not mintable through the website as we struggled late in the night to try and patch the issue. During this time, over 25% of the tokens were minted anyways by bots
* This was an experimental piece of software, and in this case multiple failure points have made it too complicated to continue with the mint and list on secondary markets. If we do this, people will spend more gas to list only to be dumped on by the bot.
* It is likely that the BOT user scraped all the punks and the algorithm for the ethscription early on, so when we tried to respond with encrypted api endpoints to deter this behavior, it was now too late
* After a month of time producing this project we have a heavy heart for how this experiment went, our condolences go out to all who participated in this experiment with good intentions, you are the core ethscriptions community and we stand with you.
* If you have any stuck accounts/transactions, DM us and we are happy to offer help.
* There is currently no plans to re-mint the same collection as we need to assess what went wrong with the user minting in the final hours.
We stopped the mint around 60% minted, bots continue to mint, the collection is currently at 84% minted with the website now disabled over an hour now.
the thing is that the site was disabled about an hour ago as we could not handle so many bot mints. If you check now, the collection is still minting out and the site is completely disabled. This botter has something like 4000 or more punks.
Appreciate so much your support for this experimental mint. We didn't know what would happen when we started it, and the first 12 hours seemed to go great. But once mints started failing and it was clear that a group of wallets held over 40%, there is no economic way to justify listing on secondary, it will be a rug pull.
Hey Blob Punks -
There have been complaints that the mint does not work, we are also seeing this behavior on the site.
There has been no code changes since the beginning of mint in this piece of the application, and we had some successful mints up till about 2 hours ago.
However there is a problem now with gas estimation for the normal mint. We apologize if this experimental mint has caused issues for you, we are looking into what options exist
Blob Punks! Just passed 51% progress, and 12 hours since we went live :)
Are we going to see all ten thousand of these punks locked up in the blob abyss?🗝️📠
There were some problems with the ethscriptions API response time on BlobPunks - looks like things working better now! Take your time to mint, only so many BLOBS can be included per block!
1176 Blob Punks claimed so far and the mint velocity is healthy! The first 2 pages are fully claimed :)
Please note, there are only so many Blobs per block. Because of this, the mint will take some time, its not possible to mint out everything super quickly - as there are only so many blobs available! Keep posted here for more info
Blob Punks! We have solved the loading issue with clicking specific Punks, we simplified it to make things quicker! If you got frustrated with the loading times, please go back and check now! You should be able to snipe much quicker now :)
We will work on support for your other questions asap!
