STAGE 01: THE VANGUARD
THE ARCHANGEL COLLECTION
And they shall come from the stars and the seas and the ways that can not be seen, one and twenty Generals shall make their entrance, and they shall lead their Legion to the final battle and all the Worlds shall tremble at their arrival. – The Prophecy of the Bitcoin Angel
On 7 June 2024 Trevor will launch an auction for the first wave of CryptoAngels: the Archangel Collection. This will be in an edition of 21 packages, released on the web3 auction house Tribul.
44d 6h 25m 2s
The first stage of the CryptoAngels project has been long in development. This will be one of Trevor’s most important releases, bringing his renowned Bitcoin Angel into the three-dimensional world and unites it with blockchain technology in ways that no one has ever done before. This will be the crypto world’s first release that combines two blockchains – Bitcoin and Ethereum – with a physical release.
The Artwork Package
Physical Bronze Sculpture
The sculptures have been designed by Trevor and cast in bronze by the workshops of Ballantynes of Walkerburn and Beltane Studios in the Scottish Borders. They depict the classic Bitcoin Angel, wings spread, armoured for battle, and holding aloft the symbol of Bitcoin. Each comes in an impressive oak display case with a cast-bronze plate with title and edition number and a bronze version of Trevor’s ensō-pixel logo set into its front.
Ethereum NFT
Each NFT will be an animated 3D rendering of one of the 21 Archangels – the commanders in the armies of the Light. The Archangels have been designed by Trevor in collaboration with Apollo Entertainment. Each is named after an angel found in the scriptures of the world, and each has his own unique appearance, with armour, weapons, wings, and halo. Each Archangel appears in an aura of his own unique colour, and each is linked to a star constellation that has been chosen to symbolise his individual character. Each commands a flight of 370 CryptoAngels from stage 2 of the project (see below), each of whom shares their commanding Archangel’s colour and constellation symbol.
Bitcoin Ordinal
The ordinal will be another depiction of the Archangel – the same one as the Ethereum NFT in each package. It will be sent to auction winners separately.
Thirty CryptoAngel Ordinals
From Stage 2 of the project. These thirty ordinal mints are guaranteed and will enable the buyer to inscribe their own ordinals on 7th July.
A Bitcoin Angel Print
A print from an edition of 21 showing Trevor’s famous Bitcoin Angel artwork.
Dimensions: 41 x 31 cm (16 x 12 in) with 4cm (1.6 in) border
The Sculpture and Ethereum NFT Link
After purchasing the collection all artworks are the possession of the owner. In order to retain the visual connection and unique element of the collection, the two central works are linked together so they remain a unique item. If the sculpture is released from the warehouse and in your possession the NFT will be locked on the platform. If the sculpture is stored in the warehouse and not in your possession then then the NFT will be unlocked (see diagram below). By linking these items so that they can only be sold together it protects the unique nature of this piece for the future. All other artworks are independent of this connection.
