Make a difference to marine life with Angry Tides’ NFTs

Did you know that there are thousands of islands made of plastic floating in the ocean right now? Or that there could be more plastic than fish by 2050? These are just two of the core problems Angry Tide aims to solve – and it all starts with the NFT collection.

From full transparency to a powerful DAO, founder Matteo Poile and his team are ready to make a difference. Before learning how to join their mission, let’s find out more about the project itself:

What are Angry Tides NFTs?

At first glance, Angry Tides is a collection of 6,888 lanternfish NFTs. These PFP collectibles are uniquely generated from +100 traits, but they all share the same goal: protecting the ocean.

In other words, this community-driven project aims to clean oceans that are so deeply affected by plastic pollution. From NGO partnerships to socially conscious projects, the founding team is angry about the danger we face – and they’re ready to take action.

Why is this assignment so important?

This NFT project is called Angry Tides for a number of reasons. In short, the team can no longer sit by and watch our oceans be destroyed – and neither should you. Here’s why:

By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the oceans. As if global warming wasn’t enough, marine life is now dealing with plastic islands, oil spills and mass bleaching.

To illustrate, 91% of the Great Barrier Reef’s corals suffered from bleaching in 2020. Meanwhile, the 2012 Hong Kong typhoon caused extreme ecological pollution as marine debris spread rapidly.

Altogether more than 8 million tonnes of waste end up in oceans and seas all over the world every year. What’s worse, it takes centuries for the common plastic bag we use so often to break down in the environment. Until then, fish will have mistaken it for food – a fatal mistake that costs thousands of innocent lives annually.

Consequently, the amount of microplastics in oceans and seas could increase up to 50 times by 2100. Many people still do not know these facts, but once you find them out, there is no going back.

We are all angry about this situation – and we everyone must take action. In fact, NFT collectors play a key role in this mission – here’s how:

How can you join the initiative?

As a member of the Angry Tide community, you will become part of the project DAO. This means you get access to the community wallet, as well as voting rights for future endeavors.

This is how the founding team will share the revenue with the community:

• 35% will go towards marketing and development costs;
• 25% allocated to the project team;
• 20% saved for donations to marine conservation organisations;
• 20% goes into the community wallet.

In particular, the team will post each transaction related to the project on the Discord server’s read-only channels. The smart distribution system proves the founders’ interest in fostering a powerful community – and that’s just the beginning!

The story will continue…

Along with their debut NFT collection, the Angry Tides team also released the first chapter of an inspiring story. Essentially, the intro takes place in 2022 in the Atlantic Ocean; there comes a shoal of lanternfish over a mysterious time capsule. A video message coming from the object reveals a man from the future speaking to them.

The man, who lived in the year 2050, sent the capsule as the planet’s last hope to save the Earth.

“If you heed this message all is not lost: you still have the power to change the course of history!” – said the man, and that’s the core goal of Angry Tides as well.

Each NFT collection will bring a new chapter of this fascinating story until the grand finale. Also, collectors will receive a comic book PDF for every NFT purchase.
