Founded in 2021, Yuga Labs is a digital asset incubation studio focused on shaping the future of Web3 through storytelling, experiences, and community. Yuga Labs is home to the most successful collection of non-fungible tokens, including Bored Ape Yacht Club, Mutant Ape Yacht Club, Bored Ape Kennel Club, Twelvefold, Otherdeeds, and more.

Last week, Yuga Labs partnered with digital artist Nina Chanel Abney for the Super Cool World non-fungible token collection and launched an airdrop to holders. Nina Chanel’s Super Cool World is an NFT collection featuring a limited supply of 5,080 NFTs comprised of hundreds of properties that reflect her passionate, collage-like approach to visual media.

Following this integration, Yuga Labs and Nina Chanel expected to leverage the Super Punk World NFT project to blend the avant-garde NFT sector with classic art. Nine Abney, known for his fun work with Pharrell Williams’ GODA (Gallery of Digital Assets) and South Park animations, aimed to bring his own creative vision to CryptoPunks.

Unfortunately, Nina Abney’s “woke” work quickly attracted criticism and Yuga Labs halted development of the collection. The cryptocurrency and NFT community on X (formerly Twitter) has questioned its artistry, conceptual direction, and perspective on social issues related to racial and gender discourse.

In a recent press release, Yuga Labs announced that the controversial non-fungible token airdrop will occur this week, which we believe has put the initial heated community backlash behind us. The Super Punk World NFT airdrop will take place on Thursday, May 30th.

GM,
I wanted to share an update on Punk. When I purchased the collection a few years ago, I did so with the intention of preserving its legacy.
We see punk as the early cave paintings of this new medium, and were greatly influenced by it when creating.
