Rare Pepe Directory
Nine officially recognized cards from the historic proto-NFT project (2016-2017)
halluciphile created nine officially recognized cards for the historic Rare Pepe Directory, a crucial "proto-NFT" project that onboarded many into crypto art. These cards demonstrate fixed scarcity established on-chain through the Counterparty protocol.
"The core value of cards like MOBIUSPEPE (supply 300) is the guaranteed, finite supply set in the Counterparty metadata. This metadata defining the scarcity is the token essence. The image of Pepe is the cultural manifestation that drives collectibility."
