What is Gutter Cat Gang?

Gutter Cat Gang is an NFT collection of 3000 algorithmically generated stylized cats on the Ethereum network with the ERC-721 token standard.

The appearance of NFT cats is fully consistent with the name of the collection. Some of them look like avid gangsters who grew up in animal shelters or were thrown out by their owners on the street, which made them what they are in this collection.

In addition, the NFT acts as a membership token that gives the holder certain privileges. For example, access to real life events (IRL events like CutterCon), limited edition merchandise, and serving as an avatar in the Gutter Cat Gang universe.

In addition to the main collection, several more derivatives have been launched:

• Gutter Rats,
• Gutter Pigeons,
• Gutter Dogs.

These collections represent an addition to the ecosystem in the form of dogs, rats and pigeons.

But at the same time, only the main collection provides users with top-level privileges. While the rest of the NFTs of the additional collections provide mid-level access. This adds value to the Gutter Cat throughout the ecosystem.

• Floor price is 1.25 ETH (about $2k).
• Sales on average range from 0.9 ETH to 2.5 ETH.
• The most expensive #727 was sold on August 23, 2021 for 39 ETH (about $130k at the time of sale).
• A total of 1,729 unique holders (58%). This indicator demonstrates the low chances of whales interconnection within the project. Thus, the risk of artificial project management from the inside is minimal.
• Only about 4% of the collection (130 pieces out of 3000) are put up for sale, among them the range of offers is from 1.25 ETH to 35 ETH. This shows that almost all holders see the project as a great investment prospect and are not in a hurry to part with their assets at a lower price.

• Access and free admission to events such as GutterCon and others;
• Fairly high collection floor price of more than 1 ETH, which is about 18 times more than the minting price;
