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

After painting Bitcoin-themed artworks since 2017, this new collection is inspired by his Bitcoin Angel, with the open edition that broke records in 2021.

Acclaimed Web3 artist Trevor Jones has unveiled his most ambitious Ordinals NFT collection yet, titled "CryptoAngels."

Having painted Bitcoin-themed artworks since 2017, Jones drew inspiration from his Bitcoin Angel, an open edition that smashed records in 2021, rapidly selling 4,158 editions for $3.2 million. Since then, Jones has built a strong community and brand around his work and the Bitcoin Angel motif, which includes the annual Castle Parties dedicated to art, culture, and charity.

Here are the full details below.

Trevor Jones’ NFT Collection of CryptoAngels: From Archangels to Ordinals

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

Known for his artworks that celebrate Bitcoin, Jones began this collection with a preliminary tier called Archangels, which sold out 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, which quickly sold out.

On August 7, the second tier of the collection will be launching, 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 will be 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. In this way, sub-communities are being created within the collection.

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

Jones: ‘My Tribute to the Community’

The artist Trevor Jones had this to say:

“Being personally involved in Bitcoin since 2017, the ethos 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 engage with these digital collectables in the exclusive video game “Dante’s Pixel Inferno.”

Essentially a retro arcade-style game, it 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.

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