What is Cryptorontonians? Cryptorontonians is the first NFT project about Toronto. It’s a DAO driven collection of 6,555 unique digital characters living on the Ethereum blockchain. Each Cryptorontonian is unique and is a tribute to our home – Toronto – and its fiercest dwellers – the raccoons.
What’s so special about it? Cryptorontonians is a fun and creative way to introduce DAOs to Toronto. Hold a Cryptorontonian and automatically become a member of the DAO. The DAO treasury gets 25% of all the profits generated with Cryptorontonians (including royalties) and all future projects. Holders collectively create and vote on proposals to decide the direction and growth of the DAO.
Who are we? Non Fungible Thrills is an NFT studio based in Toronto. Cryptorontonians is our first project.
The Toronto NFT community is booming and this is just the beginning. Over 2,300 people showed up to our first exhibit at Stackt Market Art Gallery. The exhibit ran from November 13 to December 4 and we hosted educational seminars and social events. In our closing event the energy was contagious and we were impressed by people’s desire to learn more about NFTs. For most of our community members, Cryptorontonians is their first NFT and this is priceless to us.
We have a bunch of events lined up for 2022 (if covid allows) where the community members have the chance to get to know each other in real life. Friendships are being made, ideas are being discussed and opportunities are being created!
BTW, did you know that Ethereum was conceived in Toronto? And that some of the co-founders met in an event hosted in downtown Toronto? Cryptorontonians aspire to be a great incubator for new ideas and synergies through these series of IRL events. The appetite for social NFT events is undeniable, and we believe that being at the right time at the right place can forge interesting partnerships.
Being part of a DAO is exciting and shows faith in collective intelligence. This is how the DAO works:
- Cryptorontonians govern Cryptorontonians DAO
- Owning a Cryptorontonian grants you access to the DAO.
- Cryptorontonians can vote on proposals.
- One Cryptorontonian = One vote.
- Cryptorontonians can submit proposals - A minimum ownership of 3 Cryptorontonians is required.
The DAO automatically receives 25% of all the profits generated by Non Fungible Thrills through the sale of Cryptorontonians and all its future projects, including royalties on secondary sales.
DAO members can submit proposals on how to manage and grow the DAO treasury. These proposals can include investments in ventures such as purchasing other NFTs, investing in crypto, growing the Cryptorontonians IP, events, donating to charities…the possibilities are endless and are up to the DAO members! All DAO members can vote on these proposals.
Special Veto: Governance is currently in a soft-launch phase to ensure that no malicious proposals can be passed while the Cryptorontonians demand is low.
Cryptorontonians are dope and designed in a way to bring massive long-term value to the holders. Take a look at this:
In other words, 25% of the profits generated by the sale of Cryptorontonians are automatically funnelled to the Cryptorontonians DAO. The remaining 75% of the profits are invested in developing new projects. New projects donate 25% of their profits to the Cryptorontonians DAO.
It’s a virtuous cycle! The better the new projects do, the more the DAO treasury grows; the more the DAO treasury grows, the more valuable the Cryptorontonians become; the more valuable the Cryptorontonians are, the more Non Fungible Thrills grows; and, the more Non Fungible Thrills grows, the more dope projects we can create… you get the idea!
Creator of Non fungible Thrills. Passionate about the web3 and its possibilities, and don’t even get him started on how he feels about NFTs!
CryptoPunk owner. An OG in the NFT space with an unmatched ability to sniff out the next big thing in crypto art. Guess who sold the Meebit #17522 for 1,000 ETH?
A builder. Problem solver by day, an artist by night. Senior dev with 25 years’ experience to his name.
Jack of all trades. Illustrator, designer and filmmaker mesmerized by NFTs. He illustrates in his sleep, for real.
Each Cryptorontonian is unique and equally rare. They are created randomly by a custom generative algorithm from over 175 possible traits including expression, headwear, clothing and more.
There are no explicit rules for attribute scarcity. All Cryptorontonians are equally cool - the real distinction is between being in the community or outside the community.
Cryptorontonians are stored as ERC-721 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain and hosted on IPFS. Purchasing a Cryptorontonian costs 0.08 ETH.
Who cares about roadmaps when there is a DAO? Each Cryptorontonian can help shape the future of the project by submitting proposals to the DAO.
That being said, our playbook is simple; make the Cryptorontonians IP grow as much as possible through disruptive IRL showcases, exclusive collabs with other projects and community rewards.
We are proud to announce that our first IRL showcase is at Stackt Market Art Gallery. But this is just the beginning. We are working hard to make this the first of many exhibits worldwide.
This is a long term game. It’s all about growing the IP and bringing value to the Cryptorontonians holders.

Cryptorontonians is an experiment to bootstrap digital community, governance and treasury while acting as a vehicle to raise funds for Non Fungible Thrills. It represents a new paradigm where early adopters can get rewarded the most by supporting a project they believe in. That’s pretty special, if you ask me!
Toronto to the metaverse! The artwork is a tribute to our home – Toronto – and its fiercest dwellers – the raccoons.
From November 11 to December 4, there will be a limited number of Cryptorontonians available to be minted IRL at Stackt Market Art Gallery. Once those Cryptorontonians are minted, the remaining Cryptorontonians will be available online for everyone to participate.
The price of each Cryptorontonian is 0.08 ETH plus gas fees. There is no bonding curve so all Cryptorontonians are priced equally.
Before purchasing Cryptorontonians, you will need to take two simple and important steps. First, you will need to purchase ETH from a crypto-currency exchange such as Coinbase or Binance . Once you have completed that step, you will need to transfer your ETH into your MetaMask wallet. Metamask connects to the Cryptorontonians website and allows you to purchase the NFT.
Metamask is a non-custodial crypto wallet that can store your Ethereum and is needed to purchase and mint a Cryptorontonian. Having a wallet gives you an Ethereum address where your NFT will be stored. Learn more about Metamask and how easy it is to use over here! (https://metamask.io/)
