Degenerate Ape NFT Sells for More Than $1M on Solana

The sale is a record for the layer-1 rival to Ethereum.


A Degenerate Ape Academy non-fungible token (NFT) on the Solana blockchain was sold Saturday for 5980 SOL, or about USD $1.11 million, in the largest-ever NFT sale on the rival to the Ethereum blockchain.


Apparently not content with having shelled out more than $1 million for an NFT of a scarred zombie ape with a halo eating a brain, Moonrock Capital, a Europe-based blockchain advisory and investment firm, announced a few hours later it had purchased a CryptoPunks knock-off NFT also on the Solana blockchain for 1388 SOL, or USD $257,446.24.
