Why FIRST 721 CLUB do Wrapped Gen0 CryptoKitties ?

CryptoKitties CTO Dieter Shirley submitted the first version of ERC-721 on 2017-09-20. The term NFT was first coined in the first version of ERC-721. NFT is short for "Non-Fungible Token". September 20th is officially recognized as International NFT Day.

The contract of CryptoKitties was deployed on mainnet on 2017-11-23,CryptoKitties is the first ERC-721 NFT.

There is no setApprovalForAll function of the first version of ERC-721. setApprovalForAll function was added on 2018-02-23 .Therefore, there is no setApprovalForAll function in CryptoKitties contract. Besides,there are some other differences betweent CryptoKitties contract and ERC-721 Final version. Currently, only one NFT marketplace OpenSea supports trading of CryptoKitties, because only OpenSea did custom developments for CryptoKitties. Even if OpenSea supports CryptoKitties trading, the seller must perform a Approve operation for each sale order, which wastes Gas and is inconvenient for the seller.

10k is a popular amount for NFT project, but the total supply of CryptoKitties is now more than 2 million and growing. The floor price of CryptoKitties is only 0.0028 ETH(2023-04-14) on OpenSea. The floor price and total supply are important data for NFT, but the current data of CryptoKitties is not good for new investors.
