I mapped 4,000 CryptoPunks holders to see how the OG NFT community connects. Same rules as before - if two wallets own NFTs from the same collection, they're linked. But the Punks ecosystem tells a completely different story. Average degree of 75 (vs 6.4 in my last post) means each Punk holder shares collections with ~75 other holders. That's over 10x more connected! The Punks community isn't just wealthy - they're incredibly active collectors with similar taste. Here's the wild part: average path length is only 2.14. That means you're typically just 2 hops away from any other Punk holder. Pick any two random Punk owners - they probably have a mutual friend. It's like the entire ecosystem is one giant group chat. Network diameter of 6 means the furthest apart any two holders can be is 6 connections. For context, Facebook's entire global network has a diameter of about 4-5. So 4,000 Punk holders are almost as tightly connected as billions of Facebook users. The density here is insane - this isn't just a community, it's practically a small town where everyone knows everyone. Compare this to the fragmented clusters in my previous analysis. Punks holders move as a pack. TL;DR: If NFT communities were cities, most collections look like sprawling suburbs with distinct neighborhoods. CryptoPunks is Manhattan - dense, connected, and everyone's in everyone else's business. (Tip: Load the viz in 4K)
