Punk Vibes
‘CryptoPunk #2457’ by Larva Labs sets the tone and vibes for the day.
As Micky Malka addressed the NODE CryptoPunk Preview crowd, #2457 grabbed the mic. It sold for 32.5362 ETH and sent an on-site sale receipt printer, large screen, and the crowd into real time celebration.
It turns out it was none other than Good Vibes Club acquiring the Punk via a PunkStrategy listing.
GVC Founder Tyler Guyot relays the thought process:
“We bought it with the rewards wallet for VibeStrategy, a punk previously held by PunkStrategy.
One day, 2457 will go to a badge holder from someone in GVC.
Onchain culture.”
24 Hours of NODE: Day Two
Day Two on the NODE premises brought two opening events:
First up was the CryptoPunk Preview, beginning at 4:20pm ET and opening social sharing of the interior. Highlights included the node of NODE, located at its center. It allowed verified Punk holders to insert a custom card into a box, altering recessed circular screens to feature their Punks in dimensional form.
The VIP Opening followed at 7:00pm ET, expanding the crowd flowing through the space. Beeple’s DIFFUSE CONTROL exhibition held a consistent buzz, as participants admired the kinetic sculpture and claimed custom prints.

Closing Gateway
“Today, we are announcing that the Nifty Gateway platform will be closing on February 23, 2026.”
The 2020 launched digital art platform announces its exit and prompts collectors to move their assets within the next month. Act sooner rather than later, and leave yourself room for support if necessary.
