We are dCanvas, and we bought a CryptoPunk to give away for free

We are the team building dCanvas, a 1024 x 1024 collaborative art pixel board, where each 4 x 4 block is a NFT giving its owner exclusive control to set its colors and governance over future commissioned art pieces of the whole canvas. Reddit’s own /r/place project was a great inspiration.

We acquired a OG cryptopunk, #3421, with the intention of giving it away for free. Are we crazy? Probably.

But at its very core dCanvas is about expanding the boundaries of blockchain and using that as a way to build community and promote social good. Every time 1/4 of the canvas sells out, we will give away NFTs (such as the CryptoPunk) to one of our Twitter followers and donate to a charity with personal importance to us (such as American Cancer Society). We just announced a pixel art contest too where you can enter for free and win ETH or dCanvas NFTs.

The journey so far has been incredible — we opened up an early allocation for first adopters and had to close in less than a week as the waitlist grew out the door. But we're opening up more soon, this is just the beginning, and we’ll keep giving back to the world the whole way.
