Larva Lad saying GM!

Meet The Larva Lads

The Larva Lads are a collection of 5,000 fully on-chain collectible characters living on the Ethereum blockchain. The project, released for free in 2021, was created as an homage to Larva Labs and reimagines the CryptoPunks as cute little wormlike characters.

Though large portions of their aesthetic are borrowed, the Larva Lads maintain a distinct identity and are instantly recognizable. They've even inspired many derivative projects of their own!

Following in the footsteps of the CryptoPunks, the Larva Lads were released for free as a “first come, first served” style mint, open to everyone.

Totally On-Chain

The Larva Lads didn't exist until the moment they were minted. Each one was randomly generated by the smart contract. Unlike many NFT projects that rely on external services (IPFS, centralized servers, etc.) the Larva Lads are stored directly on the blockchain. This includes all metadata and even the artwork itself, ensuring that your Lad will exist as long as Ethereum does.

The on-chain DNA of the Larva Lads project has also extended to the community, with many members championing on-chain art and creating incredible on-chain works of their own.
