A few people have said to me recently that Checks and Opepen feel dead right now, and asked when they “come back”.
First, fortunately or unfortunately, NFTs are still an attention game to a degree. Jack understands liquidity cycles, market psychology and, importantly, timing better than 99%. He knows when to deploy attention
Second, when liquidity does rotate back into NFTs over a cycle, I struggle to think of many more obvious destinations than Checks and Opepen. A lot of people already know this, but are sat awaiting confirmation
It’s rare to find NFT series that are simultaneously respected by PFP collectors, non-NFT crypto natives, Bitcoiners and serious digital art collectors alike.
Both collections continue to evolve in a way most NFT projects simply don’t. They are living, gamified, culturally native and structurally deflationary systems disguised as art collections.
Once liquidity and attention return, the market will start rediscovering Checks again: Day 1 gradients, single colour bands, Editions, singles, and the broader hierarchy that sits underneath the surface. At the same time, people will start hunting grail Opepen editions again, acquiring blanks, and artists will begin submitting new sets. All to come.
Most NFT collections never evolve. Checks and Opepen never stop. This matters more than people realise.
