So...
@MeebitsNFTs Let's talk about these chunky little guys
Remember CryptoPunks? Well, the same dudes who made those - Matt Hall (
@matthall2000) and John Watkinson (
@pents90) - basically looked at their 2D pixels and thought you know what?
✦ Ceo -
@sergitosergito
Let's make them 3D and chunkier.
And boom. 20,000 voxel characters that look like if Minecraft characters got really into fashion.

Plot twist though - Larva Labs sold Meebits to Yuga Labs in 2022, and then Yuga Labs just sold them to MeebCo (run by a hardcore Meebits collector).
So now they're in the hands of someone who's actually obsessed with the project.
The launch was wild
These guys started at like 2.5 ETH each. Now they're sitting around 0.88-0.90 ETH. Not gonna lie, that's a drop from the hype days, but still holding decent value.
➥ Here's what's actually happening
✏ 20,000 of these little block people exist (well, 19,999 are actually minted)
✏ About 6,578 people own them
✏ They've done 185K ETH in total trading volume since launch
✏ Market's been... let's call it "interesting" lately

➥ Okay but the website though
Meebits app is actually pretty cool. You can spin your Meebit around like it's a toy, change the background, mess with the lighting. I spent way too long taking screenshots of the same character just because the interface is so smooth.
It's like having a little photo studio for your digital block person.
Feeling moody? Dark background. Happy? Bright colors. It's weirdly therapeutic.

➥Why people actually like these
Unlike most NFTs that are just pictures, you get:
» The actual 3D files (like, real ones you can use)
» Animation stuff if you're into that
» High quality images
» No fees when trading on their site
» Can use them as avatars in games and stuff
Originally created by the CryptoPunks team, now owned by MeebCo (a company started by a true Meebits believer), these little block people are actually useful beyond just being expensive art.
Floor's around 0.88-0.90 ETH right now, there's still an active community, and honestly? That website alone is worth checking out.

Just don't blame me if you end up spending an hour taking screenshots of block people.
