While undeniably successful, yesterday’s sale of Stoner Cats—a series of animated shorts sold in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFTs)—resulted in the loss of 344.4 ETH ($790,000) due to failed transactions as well as briefly clogging the Ethereum network.
Developed by Mila Kunis’ Orchard Farm Productions, a total of 10,420 Stoner Cats NFTs were put up for sale yesterday at 0.35 ETH ($785 at the time) each—and the whole supply was sold out in just “35 meow-nutes.”
We SOLD OUT in 35 meow-nutes!
If you got a TOKEn, drop it here!

However, not every buyer managed to get their hands on NFTs as the Ethereum network struggled with the sudden load. According to crypto charting platform Dune Analytics, users have lost roughly 344.6 ETH ($790,000) in fees paid for Stoner Cats mints that never materialized.
lmao someone just paid 5.8 ETH (and used up 20% of a block in gas) for a failed tx trying to mint 20 stoner cats https://t.co/J
