CrypToadz is a collection of 6,969 pixel-art toads on Ethereum, launched on September 8, 2021 by pseudonymous artist Gremplin and placed in the public domain. Its CC0 license allowed anyone to reuse, modify and build on the images without negotiating rights. CrypToadz Chained, a community project active on Ethereum since August 2022, reconstructs every toad directly in a smart contract using compressed drawing instructions. Five years after launch, the artwork, lore and code remain accessible independently of NFT platform closures, demonstrating the potential longevity of CC0-licensed works.
