Launched shortly after the NFT forerunner CryptoPunks in 2017, EtherRocks are another early example of NFTs built on top of the Ethereum network. Only 100 were ever created, with each subsequent mint becoming more expensive. Coupled with the fact that many stones seem to have been lost in the four years since the project began, EtherRocks have become a very limited collection.

On the EtherRocks website, the creators of the project state that the virtual rocks are “FOR NO PURPOSE except that they can be bought and sold and give you a strong sense of pride in being an owner of 1 of the only 100 stones in the game.” to be”. Even so, due to the age of the project and the limited collection, NFT collectors and speculators see value in the rocks.

Additionally, not all EtherRocks were created equal, with some colors being rarer than others. While most of the rocks appear in shades of gray, four have a rare shade of blue, which makes them highly sought-after. The owners of Blue Rocks are pricing them at well over $ 1 million; however, no one has ever sold for that much.

The EtherRocks hype is further proof of the mania around what some refer to as “NFT summer”. Over the past month, NFTs have grown in popularity on the Ethereum network with massive price increases for the most coveted projects. At the top of the buzz are CryptoPunks, which jumped in value last weekend when an anonymous whale bought 88 punks in a single transaction and raised the reserve price to over $ 100,000. Other projects like the Bored Ape Yacht Club and Art Blocks also sell the most valuable pieces for more than $ 500,000.
