Our Story
WE ARE EARTH ANGELS - A WEB3 COMMUNITY OF GLOBAL COMMUNITY LEADERS WHO BELIEVE NOW WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER.
We met in Toronto in 2021 with a shared vision: people should get paid for doing good. Volunteering is noble, but it's not the right system for making impact at scale - especially at a time when we're facing existential challenges: misinformation, division, climate change, the rise of authoritarianism, inequality of opportunities, and AI.
​
What started as a crazy idea has turned into a social enterprise backed by the fastest-growing VC in the world, Antler. We are grateful for the opportunity to lead at the intersection of social impact, web3, and AI.

Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns (or if you just want to say hello) at hello@causenft.world.

Why NFTs? Aren't they dead?We utilize NFT technology for its true revolutionary potential. Beyond the speculative bubble and the steep price fluctuations on its marketplaces, we recognize the inherent value that NFTs technology offer. NFTs have broader potential, practical applications, and enduring worth to enhance our ecosystem: Unique Ownership and Authenticity: NFTs provide an immutable record of authenticity, certifying the uniqueness and provenance of digital assets, fostering a new era of trust and ownership. Enhanced Digital Identity: NFTs have the potential to redefine digital identity. They enable individuals to represent themselves through unique digital assets, fostering self-expression and personal branding.

Yes, but what are my benefits? Couldn't we do the same with normal digital images?Short answer, No. We understand the word NFT may excite some and scare others, but the way we're using it doesn't require you to be an expert. We make it simple for you to get one, even if you're not an expert, and you can bear the benefits that the unique technology offers, that you wouldn't be able to accomplish with other digital assets. And here are some reasons: Distinctive Identity - The NFT goes beyond a simple password or membership key, serving as a visual representation of your beliefs and belonging to a community. Your badge of belonging. Proof of impact - the technology proofs that you're putting your effort where your mouth is and you're not just virtue signalling. It backs your action and establishes you as a real changemaker. Ownability – with NFT ownership, you are not just a passive supporter of sustainable practices but an active investor in the project. And you get to bear all the advantages that come with it. Effortless Access - Simply connect your digital wallet for seamless access. Empowering Governance - Your NFT grants you a voice and the ability to vote on important decisions. Unrivaled Security & Transparency - The blockchain's encryption and unalterable nature make it the world's most secure database. All transactions are recorded immutably and time-stamped, providing a complete history of each transaction and minimizing the possibility of fraud.
