This year is off to a friendly start as Art Blocks‘ free-to-mint Friendship Bracelets have reached the top spot on OpenSea. The 38,413-piece collection features images of friendship bracelets and has proven to be a hit with fans, recording the highest 24-hour trading volumes for January 10, 2023.
The Art of Friendship
The spike in volume for the Art Blocks Friendship Bracelets NFTs may be attributed to the recent closing of the minting window. These NFTs were available for anyone who already held one of the Art Blocks assets, who were able to mint a maximum of two free assets since October 2022. Conceptualized by Art Blocks founder Erick Calderon and designed by artist Alexis André, the collection features animated images of friendship bracelets.
OMG!

So cute! @MacTuitui @ArtOnBlockchain

Besides the digital art itself, users will eventually be able to create a physical item soon. The purpose of this friendship collection, Art Blocks says, is to reward those who have supported its efforts since the beginning.
“The project is a token of our appreciation to the creators, makers, builders and collectors who have all contributed to making the Art Blocks community what it is today. Participating in this project is a signal, both online and IRL, that you’re a participant in this evolution of art and community,” the project’s OpenSea page says.
