Mfers

CC0 project that doesn't even have official twitter

Mfers is a PFP (avatar type) project hand-painted by art creator sartoshi, and its style is a minimalist stickman image. As the founder of the project, sartoshi himself is the OG of the CryptoPunks community and has a good influence in the NFT circle. The technical development of the project is completed by Westcoastnft, which is also the technical development team of Doodles.

Mfers is a typical CC0 project, that is, the author only reserves the right of authorship for the project. "CC" is short for "creative commons" and specifies a set of permissions related to the work. CC0 means "No Rights Reserved", the work is placed in a public domain by the creator without reservation, and everyone can freely copy, disseminate, and make secondary creations. This concept has been around for two decades.

Mfers was officially launched at the end of November last year, and has maintained a tepid average price of 0.2ETH to 0.4ETH for the next two months. In February of this year, with the news that Mfers was going to airdrop 3D villains, Mfers' transaction volume suddenly increased, and the price went up all the way.

According to OpenSea's rankings, mfers has surpassed Azuki in the top 3 in terms of transaction volume in the past week, and the derivative project xmfers also rose gratifyingly on February 21. Unlike projects like BAYC and Azuki, however, Mfers doesn't even have an official twitter account of its own.
