I made a free NFT for early Arbitrum adopters. This might be the very first NFT collection on Arbitrum, and YOU can grab a piece for free :)

The NFT contract: https://arbiscan.io/token/0xea521f642d1ee05aca25979b7b6d7c83b24aa901

The NFT is called Arbitrum Genesis NFT. The NFT contract is created by a minter contract that will only mint 1000 editions and stop working after that.

How to claim:

All you need is some ETH bridged to pay for the gas fee. I deployed a small dapp to IPFS where you can easily claim the NFT: ipfs://QmWPqzAB4BV6PLPHa3nUASkwpCSuZcrDUsUoXL1QfzNN2N

If you are skeptical about the dapp, you will also be able to claim directly from arbiscan.io when they enable contract verifications. You will be able to see all the code there too.

The minter contract only mints one NFT per address so don't try to claim more than one.

This might be the actual first NFT collection on Arbitrum:

EDIT: I verified the contract, you can claim directly from arbiscan now and read all the source code:

Congrats to all early adopters! :)

The other NFTs were before Arbitrum was open to the main public, except the 'ArbEmptyNFT'. (Is this a collection?)

EDIT 2: Wow! I wasn't expecting this to blow up so hard. The contract quickly reached 1000 mints finished minting. I feel bad for the people who missed out. Here's the last tx: https://arbiscan.io/tx/0x8c6d093c545c30f1c453ae9a08f4384b9ea20e233ca7495f438680b4d131f45b

I will eventually make a small ipfs webpage explaining more about this NFT, thanks u/pepescennius for the suggestion and congrats to everyone who managed to grab a mint.
