**Nakamigos (NKMGS)** is a collection of [non-fungible tokens (NFTs)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft), released in early 2023, created by [HiFo Labs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/hifo-labs).[\[1\]](#cite-id-eaonxs41fyr)  
  
  
# Overview  
  
Nakamigos is a 20K PFP project from [HiFo Labs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/hifo-labs). Nakamigos collection, created in a style reminiscent of [CryptoPunks](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptopunks), got its name from the pseudonymous founder of [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin), [Satoshi Nakamoto](https://iq.wiki/wiki/satoshi-nakamoto), symbolizing Nakamigos being the 'friends of Nakamoto'.[\[2\]](#cite-id-kfwkitw508r)[\[5\]](#cite-id-98bz0pd6hym)  
  
# Nakamigos x EoS  
  
[Sartoshi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/sartoshi), who was the creator of '[mfers](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mfers)' [NFT](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft), left 'mfers' in June 2022, handed over project leadership and funds to the community. To mark his departure, Sartoshi [minted](https://iq.wiki/wiki/minting) the 'end of [sartoshi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/sartoshi) [eos]' pass collection. On February 16, 2023, Sartoshi tweeted:  
  
> The 20k project is NAKAMIGOS. all 16,999 'end of sartoshi' (eos pass) tokens from 1.27.23 1:50pm est snapshot are entitled to free mint on mint day (1 per token).[\[6\]](#cite-id-2161y3cr6vz)

[Sartoshi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/sartoshi) then announced that holders of the 'eos pass' would be granted a free [mint](https://iq.wiki/wiki/minting) from the Nakamigos collection a day before it became available to the public on March 23, 2023.[\[7\]](#cite-id-w1cfrq06mni)  
  
The art and characters of Nakamigos originated from an anonymous figure known in the space as an 'OG crypto artist.' Initially, there was speculation that Sartoshi was the anonymous individual behind the Nakamigos creation, despite no confirmed involvement in the project. This rumor gained traction partly because Sartoshi's departure from [mfers](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mfers) happened around the same time as the Nakamigos collaboration, causing some to hastily label [Sartoshi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/sartoshi) as the project’s 'OG crypto artist,' though Sartoshi neither confirmed nor denied this.[\[6\]](#cite-id-2161y3cr6vz)  
  
  
# Tokenomics
