NFT Collection of CryptoAngels by Trevor Jones: from Archangels to Ordinals

As anticipated, Trevor Jones has announced with great enthusiasm his latest collection, the CryptoAngels, marking a new chapter in the world of digital art linked to the blockchain.

Known for his artworks that celebrate Bitcoin, Jones inaugurated this collection with a preliminary phase called Archangels, sold for 87.9 ETH ($335,291).

These collector’s packages included a physical bronze sculpture depicting the classic Bitcoin Angel, a 3D NFT avatar, and an Archangel Ordinal, all of which sold out quickly.

On August 7, the second phase of the collection will be launched, which will be available to be minted through OrdinalsBot. It consists of 7,777 unique CryptoAngels in their appearance, each personally named by Jones, and initially accessible through a whitelist.

Based on the symbols of the constellations on their shields, the CryptoAngels have been divided into 21 cohorts, each correlated to one of the collectors of Archangels from the previous phase. Thus creating sub-communities within the collection.

Seven CryptoAngels 1/1 particularly special are not aligned with any Archangel, making them exceptionally rare.

Jones: ‘my tribute to the community’

The artist Trevor Jones stated the following:

“Being personally involved in Bitcoin since 2017, the ethics surrounding it quickly inspired me in my journey of crypto art. I have followed the growth of Ordinals since its inception and the CryptoAngels collection is my tribute to a community that welcomed me with open arms and gave me the opportunity to bring my Bitcoin Angel motif onto the chain where it has always been destined to be.”

In addition to the main collection, 21 angels are also available to mint at the special price of $7 on Base, for a limited time.

Collectors will be able to play with these digital collectables in the exclusive video game “Dante’s Pixel Inferno”.

In other words, a retro arcade-style game that challenges players to guide their angel through the Nine Circles of Fiat Hell, collecting bitcoin and earning other rewards. Each angel boasts unique abilities and weapons.

The whitelist opportunities are available only through community partnerships, for the holders of Bitcoin Angel OE and Trevor’s Ascended Angels, and through weekly giveaways.
