Giveth is a platform that leverages web3 innovations to facilitate public goods funding and is launching a collection of 1250 PFP (profile picture) NFTs. The goal of this collection is to fundraise so we can continue building new products and donation mechanisms that empower social impact projects.

Giveth has been around since 2016, and during that time we have made our mark across the world: from the Giveth House hacker pad in revolutionary Barcelona, to the dusty domes of Burning Man, to our regen booth at this year’s ETHDenver, we have built a global community!

The Givers

…is an NFT collection designed to represent YOU — a community of individuals who are changing the world with giving. Sure, you give crypto, but you also give your time, your energy, your commentary, and it is because of people like you that we believe that we can really use web3 to change the world for the better.

The Givers PFP collection started as a community initiative. With custom art created by a designer from Cataluña, each Giver in the collection is completely unique, featuring:

  • A colour palette based on the Giveth.io webpage and GIVgarden
  • All-gender human traits, randomized in unique combinations
  • Backgrounds from ETHDenver, the Giveth House, the outer reaches of the galaxy, lush Costa Rican jungles, the dusty streets of Black Rock City and more!
  • Tattoos of the Giveth flower, logo and other Giveth design elements
  • Fun extras like mini Caga Tios, Giveth space suits, and Santa hats!

Giveth DAO

For the past seven years, Giveth has focused on supporting public goods through a community-driven ecosystem of collective support and value creation. This effort has resulted in streamlined, easy-to-use donation tools and mechanisms powered by blockchain technology, which have onboarded over 2,325 projects and raised over $1,750,000 in donations!

The Givers PFP collection is designed to be both an art collection to inspire and unify our community, and a way to raise funds so that we can continue to #buidl our way to an empowered future for public goods creators.

Our near and long term goals are focused on improving our donation platform and building web3 tools that support nonprofits and impact projects.

Benefits of Owning a Giver

If you purchase a Giver, you’ll be able to set your Giver as your profile pic (PFP) on Giveth.io, and will soon be privy to some sweet cosmetic features integrated into user profiles on Giveth.

You’ll also get a 50% discount to mint your own .giveth domain name, thanks to our partners at Punk Domains.

The Future of The Givers

Collectors of Givers PFPs will become Giveth super supporters that are acknowledged for helping fund the DAO. As we move into the future, we plan to continue building exciting features for Givers holders, causing the value of holding a Giver to increase over time.

Fun Facts

Before we go, here are some exciting facts to get your pumped for the launch!

  • The idea for this collection started nearly one year ago with a simple forum post.
  • The art began with a Miro board and a community brainstorm where participants shared what being a “Giver” means to them.
  • The art creator drew all the backgrounds and characteristics initially by hand, then digitized them, adding colour and finishing touches.
  • There are 275 unique traits, including arms, backgrounds, tattoos, hats, eyeballs, mouths and more, meaning that there is a total possibility of over a million combinations!
  • The Giveth House background was created using some photos taken during last year’s ETHBarcelona, when the house was packed with Giveth contributors!

The Givers PFP collection is a community initiative that aims to support Giveth’s mission of funding public goods using web3 innovations. By becoming a #Giver4Good, PFP owners will become part of a new emerging community within Giveth and will help us greatly on our mission to Build the Future of Giving.
