WAGMI (We are All Going to Make It) is a worldwide-known expression of the NFT community. But are we all going to make it?
In 2021, NFTs sales on the blockchain represented more than 40 billion dollars. At the same time, thousands of wanderers lived in complete misery in SF's streets, at the very center of Silicon Valley, where the blockchain was born.
The Cryptoless project highlights this striking contrast and proves that NFTs can be used for more than speculative purposes and help people to make it.
The collection is a series of portraits representing SF homeless people carrying a Wagmi sign. Every minute, the volume of Ethereum traded worldwide is updated and covers the eyes on the portraits. When you mint one NFT, you'll directly give to a local NGO to help the people in need and prove that Web3 is about community.

While living in SF in early 2022, Antoine (the photographer) met a local association that helps California'''s homeless people: CityTeam. With their support, and while helping them, he started taking analog photos of the people in the streets carrying a WAGMI sign - Needless to say, they all were ok with it, and Antoine took the time to explain the project to all of them. (the full story here)
From these pictures, and with the help of many people, Antoine decided to create the Cryptoless project that aims to:
80% of the NFTs primary and secondary sales will be redistributed to CityTeam through a donation made by The Giving Block so they can continue to help the people in need. The 20% remaining will be reinjected in the cryptoless initiative to pursue and export it to a different cause/city (the 151 owners of the Rare, SupeRare, and the Centerpiece will be part of the Cryproless DAO - Each one of them will be able to propose and vote for the city/social cause the project should focus on next)
1. SF Collection
2. Utilities
3. The next collection
4. And so on,
Launch and mint of the first collection, composed of ten portraits. Every NFT is unique thanks to the dynamic filter updating the number on their eyes to show the volume of Ethereum traded during the last minute.
4 different levels exist, allowing owners to have a print version of their picture, take part in the Cryptoless DAO to decide and vote for the next non-profit project, and more.
We'll organize a new social project with the last 20% of the funds. Every member of the DAO can propose and vote for the next destination and cause to support.
This initiative can become a collective project, with different artists and people involved in the decision. The only goal is to sensibilize on social causes and help people in need.
ANTOINE GUÉNEL,
(@gnlantoine.photo)Antoine is a 27 years old french analog photographer. He started analog photography while traveling by himself in India in 2017. Since then, he has been documenting his various trips (Asia, Africa, Europe) and everyday life (France, Egypt) through analog photography.
In February 2022, Antoine finished his study with a three months program at UC Berkeley. He lived in SF and discovered California's beautiful sceneries and the sad reality of SF's and Tenderloin's streets. When he met Kurtis from CityTeam (also a Web-3 enthusiast), he started documenting the homeless situation on Tenderloin streets with an idea in mind: proving to the general audience that Art and NFTs can bring valuable outcomes to help social causes and people in need.

Creative director, brand designer & graphic designer to his core, he also creates engaging typographic work, editorial designs & websites. He has met Antoine through a mutual friend.
