CrypToadz is a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) collection of 6,969 toad-like creatures, created by digital artist Gremplin.  The collection was ranked as a top 10 project on OpenSea in the first week after its release^[1][2][3].

Overview

The project was a secret for several weeks before the release without many people knowing about it. That was until a tweet from Noah Davis, who leads up NFTs for Christie's Auction House put everyone on alert. On September 8, 2021, the Toadz drop went live with a mint price of 0.069 ETH and 6,969 Toadz available.
CrypToadz NFT collection

CrypToadz is an NFT project that encompasses pixelated images of amphibious creatures, each having distinct combinations of attributes. Every amphibian has at least one trait and can have a maximum of seven traits, namely accessory I, accessory II, background, body, eyes, head, and mouth. Besides, each broad category of properties has five subcategories. Moreover, some of the Toadz may have clothes and custom characteristics too^[4].

The project donated ~120 ETH to the Rainforest Foundation and also built out a plot, GREMPLAND, in Cryptovoxels, a user-owned virtual world, to be used as an entertainment area^[5][6].
