- Founder: Cecilia Villaverde is an award-winning filmmaker, visual artist and documentarist. As a director, cinematographer and post-producer, her storytelling aims to showcase human stories. For the past couple of years she has been dedicated to shedding light on untold stories in the LGBTQ+ community. After years working in film, she has decided to take her vision further and bring documentaries to the NFT community through ELLXS. Why this project: There are lots of NFT projects that make a small, one time 5-10% donation to charity. ELLXS is going much further by donating 60% of total mint proceeds to charity. The funds will be placed in a community treasury and with conservative stablecoin yields we estimate 8-10% yield can be generated on the funds. Every month the community will come together to vote on distributing the yield generated. Small LGBTQ+ causes will be our focus for maximum impact. An additional use of the funds is incubating other digital/NFT artists that align with the ELLXS vision. Grow the ELLXS treasury by launching these incubated NFT projects with the same 60% treasury, 40% creator split. If a treasury size of $2m+ could be achieved that equates to $200k+ annually distributed to LGBTQ+ charities. Additionally, ELLXS is a Licensed Wyoming DAO LLC and can distribute donations too non crypto native charities in fiat. Mission: ELLXS is a movement. A photography/documentary NFT project to visibilize and support the LGBTQ+ community and set aside differences through storytelling. ELLXS is a project pushing forward the mission of radical inclusion, equality and visibility for all. We aim to create an inclusive and engaged community that talks about what matters. That community will help us create a sustainable and constant flow of donations to LGBTQ+ charities. Forever. ‣
