Opepen Edition is an NFT collection featuring a limited edition of 16,000 ERC-721 NFTs hosted on the Ethereum network that is comprised of changing geometric shapes.

Launched in January, Checks VV Edition is another non-fungible token from Jack Butcher, featuring a limited edition of 16,031 NFTs hosted on the Ethereum network. Even though Jack Butcher launched the two NFT collections in the same period, Opepen Edition has emerged as the flagship NFT collection, gaining much traction among investors.

In the past several weeks, the Opepen NFT collection has become the center of a viral trend on Crypto Twitter, driving up engagements and NFT prices. Opepen Edition began trending in June after a vocal fan of Butcher’s artwork known as the pseudonymous influencer Bored Elon, the top holder of Opepen NFTs, offered to trade one of the earliest minted NFTs from the project to Michael “ThreadGuy.”
