SolPunks go on sale as pre-Metaplex tokens

SolPunks went on sale in May 2021 as plain SPL tokens, pre-Metaplex tokens with no metadata: the archived solpunks.com buying page asked for 3 SOL per SolPunk and said a token would arrive in the buyer's wallet within 5 minutes, and the minting wallet made 3,465 of them between May 7 and June 9. From June 9 to 10 the same team wallet made 3,439 tokens through a new minting program, and 834 of the 877 wallets that received them had received May tokens; this re-issue to May holders is on-chain only, and no team announcement of a re-mint has been found. On June 10 at 13:44 UTC the team posted, in its own words, "We have just deployed a new minting system" and that it "also fixes failed TX issues". The program's tokens, the SolPunks collection known today, were upgraded in place with Metaplex metadata on July 21 to 22, 2021 (UTC), which the team announced on July 22.
