A thread on ERC6551 (the next innovation for NFTs): In 2017 I was part of the team that worked on the ERC721 standard and eventually launching CryptoKitties. See photos of our team as we worked towards the ETH mainnet launch!

🙏

I’m thankful for a team that continues to love what they do everyday of the week. We drink together, cry together, and work together. Today…
