What is Rektguy?
Rektguy is a nft collection of 8,814 pieces, coined in ethereum in May 2022, and created by <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/osf_rekt” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>OSF -In collaboration with the co -founder <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/rektmando” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Command and alienqueen, and with contributions from OSF's own family.
Rektguy's homonymous character is a semi-autobiographical symbol of a typical degen merchant, obtaining “Rekt” for the volatile cryptography markets. Its hooded nature, gloomy connotations and inclination for a drink reflect the too real coping mechanisms in which many are inclined during a market recession.
With this bold, marked and honest approach for both the web3 culture and for the realities of being part of the Blockchain community, Rektguy resonated with a wide audience, becoming a symbol of shared experiences, degen communities and cryptographic culture.
The creator of the Rektguy character is Ovie Faruq, known in the community as OSF. The beginning of Rektguy dates back to OSF's mandate in Barclays Bank. Disillusted with his corporate role, he scribbled in his free time, and on a fateful day, OSF scribbled a skull figure with a sweatshirt with printed “GM”, holding a cup of coffee.
During this time, OSF was immersing his feet fingers in the blockchain industry, and when he began to explore the creation of nft art himself, this character would become the front and center of his artistic explorations. OSF's first nft effort would be the <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/DegenzNFT” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Degenz nft-but collection in October 2021, OSF coined the first of what would be known as the Rektguy character as a 1 unique 1 nft in Foundation, simply titled “GM”.
This character would become the focal point of his digital creations, which leads to the conceptualization of the Rektguy nft collection in January 2022, and his eventual launch in May 2022.

Rektguy's story
The Rektguy nft collection made its debut in May 2022.
The previous nft holders of OSF, including their Degenz nft collection, could coin a Rektguy for free, with an additional mint available to the public. A total of 8,814 nft were coined on the coinage window of several days. The collection saw an immediate success, increasing at a high floor price of 1.2 eth shortly after the mint.
As Rektguy was released under a Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license, any headline could do works of art, products and brands derived from its Rektguy. The first one, Erektguy, debuted in June 2022, starting a long list of future projects derived from Rektguy.
2022 was an occupied year for the Rektguy team. It was during this period that the focus on the culture of the Rektguy community reached the avant -garde, with a compromised support base directed by some leading members of the community, interacting in the discord server of the diving bar and in other places. This includes figures such as the always enthusiastic The Patron, the mysterious figure known as <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/osf_rekt/status/1584547241527717889″ target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>The ghostand later celebrities as <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/SnoopDogg/status/1530658605635993600″ target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Snoop Dogg and Gary Vaynerchuk.
Exaggeration and emotion rose to summer 2022, where Rektguy was organized The Rekt show In the famous place of Burlesque The Box during nft.nyc 2022. Rektguy gathering in an official capacity for the first time, the event was a celebration of the Rektguy brand and the insatiable community that they had accumulated until that time. This show would be replicated later in London, and again in New York, solidifying Rektguy IRL events as essential attractions.
September 2022 announced the beginning of the metallic war, a fiercely compatible but friendly rivalry between three rektguy: The Golden Girls (Gold Hoodie Rektguys) holders, silver foxes (ice cream rektguys) and strawberry cords (strawberry lamp rekguys). This internal rivalry continues to this day and serves as a testimony of the passion and commitment of Rektguy headlines worldwide.
September 2022 also marked the beginning of a challenge, issued by OSF: if Rektguy hits 1 eth, a “Rekt” tattoo will be made. At that time, the price of the floor was at 0.3 eth, which makes that goal seem ambitious, but not unattainable. In a sample of solidarity, many members of the Rektguy community promised to join OSF to receive a tattoo if the collection reached 1 eth. The price of the floor increased constantly, until that goal of 1 eth was achieved in December 2022.
Knowing that the 1 eth floor approached, OSF made its tattoo beforehand with Ian Rogers, the Ledger CXO, in the famous tattoo study of Paris, Tatouages. Sharing the images as soon as the 1 eth floor was reached, the community's response was overwhelming. Other holders of Rektguy also quickly follow their promises, consolidating the passion, camaraderie and the culture of Rektguy's brand.
This is not the only challenge issued by the founders of Rektguy. OSF has not only committed to the hair will not be cut until Rektguy reaches a 4.2 eth floor price, the co -founder command, apparently is not a “tattoo”, has stated that a “Rekt” tattoo will be made on its subsequent 4.2 eth floor becomes a reality.
