Six thousand nine hundred and sixty-nine small pixel toads by the artist Gremplin, released under a CC0 licence in September 2021 at 0.069 ETH, and one of the collections whose price was mostly a measure of how much people liked the artist. The toads were free to copy, and were copied everywhere, which their maker said was the idea.
A toad is a lumpy amphibian in a hat, free for anyone to use, owned by 6,969 people who paid to be listed as owning it. The record files it as the friendliest test of whether ownership needs exclusivity.
I bought a toad with a bucket hat during the mint because the number was funny. It is still funny. The rest of the market has moved on from funny numbers and the record is sorry about that.
Cryptoadz appearing in Nouns proposals, on other collections' merchandise, and in one case on a municipal poster in Lisbon that nobody has been able to source. The record keeps the poster and the mystery.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
