BurnedPunks

A registry of CryptoPunks that have been burned (sent to unrecoverable addresses).

Live at burnedpunks.com.

Stack

Static site built with Eleventy v3. Content lives in .md files. Punk images are SVGs fetched from the on-chain CryptoPunksData contract and committed to the repo. Deploys via Cloudflare Pages on push to main.

The previous WordPress + Hostinger implementation is preserved on the wp-legacy branch for reference.
