Accidentally burned CryptoPunk #685 ‘resurrected’ – becomes the first official CryptoPunk ordinal
Brandon Riley – aka @vitalitygrowth – accidentally burned Crypto Punk 685 while trying to package it for an NFT loan. This NFT has now been resurrected as a Bitcoin ordinal.
“I was so focused on following instructions exactly that I slipped, destroying a third of my net worth in a single transaction,” Riley tweeted March 25.
The slip occurred while simply trying to get a proxy wallet.
“Tthis is really a devastating mistake for me. But I did it myself, and it’s no one’s fault but mine. Both the beauty and the curse of self-care.
The tweet went viral, with Adam Hollander replying that it was up to NFT companies to ensure better design. Dutch said:
“I’m generally on the ‘people need to take responsibility for their own assets’ side in web3. But this situation is further nuanced and complicated by terrible UI/UX,”
However, in response to the virus threat, another Twitter user by the name of @olliesblog posted on March 26 that he had listed the burnt punk on Ordinals, the Bitcoin NFT network.
“I spotted a gap. Moved quickly. Happy with it,” @Olliesblog noted – tweeting a link to the first CryptoPunk hit on the Ordinal network.
“And…just like that.” You have it back (Punk685), but as the “official” WORLD FIRST CryptoPunk burned to a ordinal :TX: Punk685.
“A big thank you to @olliesblog for being so kind and selfless in resurrecting Punk 685 for me,” Riley tweeted when he learned about the new NFT.
“He now lives on the Bitcoin blockchain as an ordinal, inscribed on a satoshi from over a decade ago!”
