Cool Cats Come to Reddit!

Reddit has done it again, and this time, they’ve teamed up with the coolest cats in town. Reddit and Cool Cats have joined forces to bring you the Retro Reimagined Collectible Avatars series, and it's purr-fectly awesome! This fourth generation of collectible avatars features the talents of big-shot artists like Micah Johnson and Nyan Cat creator Chris Torres.

The collab we didn’t know we needed, but we sure are glad that its here!

The Cool Cats have brought their unique style to the table, introducing Reddit Avatars to Blue Cat and Chugs, Shadow Wolf, and the elusive C4T Monitor. With 99 C4T Monitors and only 400 Shadow Wolves, these sold out almost instantly. Now, at the time of writing, there are only 739/2500 Blue Cats left.

P.s - they’re only $9.99! That’s cheaper than a 4-shot Venti Frappe on Soy!

Reddit is minting this rad series on the Polygon blockchain, ensuring smooth interactions with Reddit wallets and easy-peasy sales to third parties.

So, if you want to join the Cool Cats universe on the cheap, run and pick up your avatar before they sell out!

99-Year-Old Vera Molnár’s Art Sells Out, Hits $1.2 Million!

Yesterday, Vera Molnár's NFT collection took the art world by storm, selling out faster than it takes to microwave popcorn at a Sotheby's auction. This mind-blowing collection racked up a jaw-dropping $1.2 million in sales – cha-ching!

The collection, named 'Themes and Variations' features 500 generative art NFTs that showcase the digital wizardry of the 99-year-old artist herself, with a little help from the coding genius Martin Grasser.

Vera decided to focus on the letters N, F, and T – (because, you guessed it - NFT), letting code run amok to create an ever-changing kaleidoscope of shapes, colors, and pixels.

Also, for the first time in its 300-year existence, Sotheby's went Dutch. In true Dutch auction format they started with the highest price they'd take and kept lowering it until a sale was made. The maximum price was set at 20 Eth/$37,506.

The real star of the show was 'Themes and Variations #1,' fetching a whopping 19.84 Eth/$37,205.95.

And the fun didn't stop there. The secondary market went bananas. 'Themes and Variations #444' with its rare 10 x 10 grid pattern went for 10 Eth/$18,753 on OpenSea.

So, there you have it – Vera Molnár's NFT collection blew us all away, making waves in the art world and giving the crypto market a run for its money.
