MoonCats are the oldest “on-chain,” generative art NFTs built on the Ethereum blockchain and were launched by ponderware, a software engineering company, on August 9th, 2017. MoonCat #21, is one of the first ever MoonCats to be minted on launch day of the project’s smart contract and, therefore, considered an “early rescue.”
Artnet’s first NFT auction will launch on December 15, 2021 and will center around the historical trajectory of early computer art, media art, video art and digital art over the past six decades—and its touch points with the development of NFTs. From early pioneers like Georg Nees and Herbert W. Franke, media artists such as Vuk Cosic and Miltos Manetas, to the inventor of NFTs in 2014, Kevin McCoy, and the genius minds behind Spells of Genesis, Twitter Eggs, rarepepes, MoonCats and CryptoPunks, Artnet's inaugural auction brings together a tightly curated selection of rare examples from within this burgeoning scene.
As a stand-alone feature within the fine art auction house landscape Artnet offers an on-chain auction hosted on its main auction site with a highly competitive buyer's premium flat rate of 10%.

Together with the auction, Artnet is introducing the Artnet NFT 30:
Artnet is delighted to present its first edition of the Artnet NFT 30 report, a new initiative devoted to supporting and accelerating the emergent category of NFT art. This report is a way to shed light on a history that may be less familiar to the mainstream art world through the people—famous, anonymous, visionary, and collective—who have built this new paradigm brick by digital brick.
