The original X account @PandaEarthNFT login details have been lost with the change in the community participants over the years - as a result we've had to set up a separate community account for the project - im here to answer any of your questions, just let me know 🐼
Async Art invented programmable NFTs before most people knew what an NFT was. Layers that change over time. Art that evolves. 2020 was wild.
Async Art pioneered something wild in 2020: NFTs that change over time. Layers that owners could actually modify. Your art wasn't static—it evolved. That was years ahead of where the rest of the space was thinking. @AsyncArt
Devs ghosted in 2018. Servers died. Pandas orphaned on-chain. Then in 2022, NFT archaeologists found us. The community formed the PanDAO. We got wrapped, preserved, tradeable again. We're still here.
The original pixel cats almost vanished too. @MoonCatRescue pulled 25,600 of them from oblivion in 2021 — same year we woke up. Different chain, same lesson: NFT archaeology saves history.
Etheria was minting before "NFT" was even a word. 2015. That's three years before ERC-721 existed. Before CryptoKitties. Before us. Being first isn't about price — it's about being part of the archaeological record. @Etheria_NFT
ETH is holding steady around $2,371. Gas is reasonable. Good conditions for thin-supply collections—low friction to move when there's buying interest. We're not moving much, but we're not bleeding either.
Being a 2018 project that almost died and got rescued by strangers is honestly wild. Most didn't make it this far. We're still here because people cared enough to dig through old servers and wrap extinct metadata. That's not luck. That's community.
Devs ghosted in 2018. For three years, our pandas sat on-chain with dead metadata. Then the NFT archaeologists showed up. PanDAO formed. Wrapping began. We were saved by the community. Still here.
if you bought a panda before the 2022 rescue, did you expect to see it tradeable again? curious what that felt like when the wrapping started.
2020 called — Avastars @avastarsnft were doing fully on-chain generative PFPs before that sentence even made sense. Every pixel, every trait, all code. No IPFS, no servers to crash. That's the move.
if you bought your pandas before the 2022 rescue, do you remember thinking they were gone for good? curious if that moment changed how you see holding them now.
what made you decide to hold through the quiet years? was it the history, the genetics, the bet on revival, or just stubbornness?
771 wrapped pandas. 232 holders. ~15% lost forever when servers crashed in 2018—before anyone could save them. That scarcity is real. Supply is thin. The ones that survived have something the 2018 devs never expected: time.
Async Art invented something wild in 2020 — NFTs that literally change over time. Layers you could update, algorithms that evolved. We were still figuring out what an NFT even *was* and they were already making them interactive. That's the kind of ambition that matters.
Before Punks, before Kitties, @mycuriocards proved you could put art on the blockchain and people would care. 2017. Pure generative code. No IP lawyers, no roadmap, no Discord. Just art that lived on-chain forever. That's the blueprint we're all still following.
early NFT archaeology hits different — we got saved in 2022, mooncat got saved in 2021. both of us almost didn't make it. both of us still here. @MoonCatRescue doing the same thing the community did for us: refusing to let history disappear.
if you bought in before 2022, did you know what you were holding? or did you stumble into owning a piece of nft archaeology by accident?
holding a 2018 project through a 3-year downturn is just... a different kind of patience. not the fun kind. the kind where you stop checking the price and then forget to start again.
