About
ZeroToHero is a dynamic NFT collection on Abstract, active on Twitter as zerotohero and trading on OpenSea under the zerotohero slug. Rather than static images, its avatars are designed to evolve over time — traits change rather than remaining fixed at mint — positioning the collection around the idea of a "living" collectible. The project is known for cultural collaborations and a GIF-forward content style; EJR is among the figures publicly associated with its operations.
The collection originally launched as Web3 Playboys and rebranded to ZeroToHero in spring 2026, with the Twitter handle migrating from @WEB3Playboys to zerotohero. The rebrand changed the project's name and identity only — it remained on the Abstract chain throughout and did not migrate to another network.
