Overview and History
Curio Cards is the first NFT Art Show on Ethereum, released as an online gallery on May 9, 2017, four years before the widespread popularity of NFTs. As an early example of digital art collectibles, Curio Cards used the Ethereum distributed network to show a new model for creation and ownership of digital art. This model allowed artists to publish unique pieces of rare, collectible digital art, receive direct payment for their work, and interact with collectors in entirely new ways.
The full set of Curio Cards features digital art numbered from 1 to 30, with artwork by seven different artists. Each numbered card has unique artwork and a fixed supply of digital prints, ranging in supply from 111 to 2154 Cards. There are a total of 29,700 Cards, with an estimated 4,000 currently lost or destroyed. All Curio Cards were created in 2017, and no more can ever be created.
Curio has had an influential impact on modern NFTs. The two most popular NFT standards later developed (ERC721 and ERC1155) reference and share many design elements with Curio Cards. These shared elements include:
Purchasing the initial artwork directly from a smart contract
Embedding the artwork’s IPFS hash (a unique fingerprint used for decentralized storage) into the NFT smart contract
Using non-divisible tokens with a fixed supply
Using multiple different tokens in the same collection
Ownership of a token representing ownership of digital artwork
