Curio Cards are collectible digital artworks located on the Ethereum blockchain. Created in 2017, Curio Cards are commonly viewed as the first digital art collectibles on the Ethereum blockchain.[1] In October 2021, a complete collection of Curio Cards, including the card "17b" misprint, was sold for ETH393 ($1,267,320) at the Christie's Post-War to Present auction.[2] The collection was tested for security vulnerabilities in September 2021 by softstack (formerly known as Chainsulting).[3]

Background

[edit]

The Curio Cards concept, developed by Travis Uhrig, Thomas Hunt, and Rhett Creighton, launched on May 9, 2017.[4] Curio Cards feature multiple sets of 30 unique cards that profile artwork by seven different artists.[4] Curio Cards is colloquially considered to be the first collection of NFT artworks on the Ethereum blockchain.[1][5][6][7] On October 1, 2021, a complete collection of Curio Cards, including the digital misprint "17b", was sold by an anonymous seller for $1.2 million at Christie's Post-War to Present auction held in New York.[4][8] This was the first Christie's auction where bidding was conducted solely using Ethereum cryptocurrency.[4]
