Rektguy NFT: The Raw & Real Brand Reflecting True Crypto Life

What Is Rektguy?

Rektguy is a collection of 8,814 digital artworks (NFTs) on the Ethereum blockchain. Each piece shows a funny cartoon skull wear a hoodie — a symbol of someone who’s been “rekt” (crypto slang for losing money or take risks that didn’t work out).

The art was made by OSF (Ovie Faruq), a former banker who became an artist in Web3. He made Rektguy to show what real crypto life feels like — the wins, the losses, the late nights, and the wild bets.

But Rektguy is more than just art. It become a Web3 brand, a fun and open community, and a grow business.

How Rektguy Got Start

Before Rektguy became famous, OSF was just sketch idea during his free time at work. One of those draw — a skull in a hoodie with “gm” (short for “good morning”) — later became the first Rektguy image.

Here is how it grew:

• In 2021, OSF share the first Rektguy artwork online.
• In May 2022, he launch the full NFT collection, giving some pieces for free to early supporters.
• The art style and message click with people in the NFT world, especially those who have been through the up and down of crypto.

Rektguy didn’t pretend everything was perfect. It was honest, funny, and relatable, and that made it special.

Why Rektguy Became Popular

Rektguy got big because it felt real. People saw themselves in the character — tired, excited, hopeful, sometime broke. But always part of something bigger.

Here are some big moments:

Tattoo Challenge: OSF promised to get a “rekt” tattoo if the floor price reached 1 ETH. It did — and he followed through, along with dozens of fans!

CC0 License: Anyone can use Rektguy art for their own work. This helps the brand grow fast, because people made memes, clothes, and more with the art.

Famous Holders: Celebrities like Snoop Dog and Gary Vee bought Rektguy NFTs.

Epic Events: At NFT NYC 2022, the Rektguy party was held in a wild burlesque club. It was one of the most talked-about event that year.

Rektguy became a symbol of community, fun, and being proud of the crypto journey, even when it is messy.

Rektguy Turns Into a Business: Drinks, Token & More

In 2024, Rektguy start doing more than NFTs. They built a brand that include real product and reward for the community.

Rekt Brands

OSF started a company called Rekt Brands, and he gave share of it to people who own Rektguy NFTs. This was a big deal — not many NFT projects do this.

Rekt Reward & DRANK Point

In August 2024, Rektguy launched Rekt Rewards. It was a fun way to earn point (called DRANK points) by doing small task on social media or joining the community.

Later, people could also earn points by buying Rekt Drinks.

Rekt Drinks (October 2024)

Rektguy launch a sparkling water drink that sold over 222,000 cans in two days. People could pay using credit cards or crypto (even SOL), and it sold out fast. This showed that the community was not just online — they were ready to support real-world products.

The $REKT Token

In late 2024, Rektguy launch its own crypto token called $REKT. This gave rewards to fans and help to build a bigger system where users can:

• Earn points
• Use the token for future rewards
• Join new games or events

By 2025, the token already had a market value of over $12 million.

What is Coming Next?

Rektguy is not slowing down. Here is what we might see soon:

More Products

After Rekt Drinks did so well, the team may launch more items — maybe clothes, games, or digital tools.

More Collaboration

Rektguy might team up with other big NFT brands to do joint drops or events.

More Uses for $REKT

The token could become even more useful — like unlock events, getting special offers, or vote on decisions.

More Real-World Events

From NFT NYC to NFT Paris, Rektguy shows up in fun and unexpected ways. More live events are likely.

Why Rektguy Stands Out

It’s Real

Rektguy tells the truth about crypto — it’s not always easy, but it’s exciting.

 It’s Fun

From memes to tattoos to drinks, Rektguy keeps things fresh and funny.

It’s Built by the Community

Holders are part of the journey. Many Rektguy ideas come from fans, not just the founders.

Conclusion

Rektguy started as a drawing. Now it’s a brand, a community, a drink, and a token. It’s proof that in Web3, you don’t need to be perfect — you just need to be real.

Whether you’re new to NFTs or deep in the crypto world, Rektguy shows what’s possible when people come together with creativity, humor, and heart.

So if you’ve ever felt “rekt” in crypto, don’t worry — you’re not alone. You’re already part of the club.
