# Inspiration PolygonPunks are inspired by [CryptoPunks](https://cryptopunks.app/) on Ethereum. Launched in June 2017 by Larva Labs, the 10k collection features 24×24 colored pixel art punks, influenced by the London punk scene, and cyberpunk movement. CryptoPunks are one of the earliest and most iconic examples of NFTs, and were the inspiration for the ERC-721 standard which powers most digital art and collectibles on Ethereum today. The collection has seen huge success since its launch, featured in world renowned galleries, appearing in major publications, and credited for sparking the 2021 NFT bull run. In March 2022, it was announced the CryptoPunks IP would be acquired by Yuga Labs, creators of Bored Ape Yacht Club. **​​** {% embed url="" %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
