Larva Labs released 10,000 procedurally generated 24x24 pixel avatars on Ethereum, free to claim for anyone willing to pay gas. Built on a custom contract that predated ERC-721, the project is widely credited as the prototype for profile-picture NFTs and a direct inspiration for the standard that would formalize them later that year.
