Unchained Elephants NFT comprises a collection of 9,999 digital artworks hosted on the XRPL, showcasing captivating imagery of elephants. These creations serve a dual purpose: raising awareness for the rescue of working elephants in Thailand and fostering an exclusive community of avid travelers. Among these digital treasures, the Original Herd NFT collection stands as an exclusive set of 99 meticulously hand-drawn digital artworks, serving as the cornerstone of the broader Unchained Elephants collection, which encompasses a total of 9,999 NFTs.
These original pieces of art were crafted by the talented Ecuadorian artist known as "Huesos Negros." The collection further divides into nine distinct sub-collections, each with its unique theme, including Active Giants, Hippie Herd, The Royal Herd, Gentle Giants, Alpha Herd, Hustle Herd, Discovering Giants, Ethereal Herd, and the foundational Original Herd.

Vicki Kiely is an animal rights activist who dreams of living, surrounded by nature, and is actively working to make this planet a better place. Her passion for all animals took her to Japan, where she actively monitored for many seasons, the hunting, slaughtering, and capturing of thousands of dolphins every year in Taiji, at the infamous Cove. This organization ‘Dolphin Project’ was formed by the famous Ric O’Barry, an animal rights activist who was recognized in the 1960s for capturing dolphins and training them for the TV series Flipper. Vicki has a special love and connection to elephants, which drove her to Unchained Elephants. The mission of the project immediately resonated with her. She is passionate about creating awareness and has been working closely with elephants for more than six years.
The project started as The XRP Herd, initial designs were drafted, selection of style was made, and the development of the website. The Beginning.
Launch the site and start pre-sales through our website using XRP as currency. February 2022, first drop of 566 NFTs on Sologenic on XLS14, with a total initial sales of 10,076 XRP.
First donations released. 40% of the pre-ordered total sells 4.030 XRP was donated to 3 elephant sanctuaries in Thailand to support the elephants' food and care supplies as follows:
Camp Chang - Pattaya: 2418 XRP
Khao Sok 🐘Sanctuary: 1007 XRP
Phuket Nature 🐘Reserve - Phuket: 604 XRP
The new BIG GOAL was inspired. A mission to unchain the elephants and release them in a nurture haven. And so rebranding was a necessity. XRP Herd was rebranded to Unchained Elephants.
Developed strategic partnerships both within Phuket and other islands in Thailand, to unchain the elephants. While at the same time also developing hotel partnerships in order to introduce more utilities for our holders.

NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are a type of digital ownership of which is recorded by blockchain. Each NFT is unique and immutable, which can be anything such as a piece of audio, video or image in digital form.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to buy an NFT with crypto:
Step 1: Set up a crypto wallet. (check out What is Digital Wallet - to learn more)
Step 2: Transfer crypto from an exchange to your wallet.
Step 3: Since we are a multichain marketplace, proceed to mint your NFT. This involves buying a random design or bidding for the design you like and identify with.
Step 4: Confirm and Pay for the NFT.
Step 5: Receive the NFT. Note that only on XRP you'll need to claim the NFT by approving the transaction on your wallet.
Simply put, digital wallets are the storage location for all of your NFTs and cryptocurrencies (like benign your own bank) that can only be accessed by the person who created the wallet. It is very important to store your seed phrase on a piece of paper and keep it secure. Do not store this phrase on an email or any place that can be accessed online, nor share the seed phrases with anyone. Otherwise by sharing the seed phrase it would be like giving your ATM card with pin code to a stranger. So please, be extremely careful with this.
*Unchained Elephants will never ask you for your seed phrase, so be aware of scammers or malicious actors.

Unchained Elephants is a transformative project dedicated to rescuing elephants from the harsh conditions of the entertainment industry and promoting responsible tourism in Thailand. Our mission involves creating lasting change through education, NFT initiatives, and on-the-ground rescue efforts.
Since our rebranding in March 2023, Unchained Elephants has successfully rescued two elephants in Thailand from dire conditions. In September 2023, we rescued Kanoon, a bull elephant, from a garbage dump (though he sadly passed away after three months in freedom). In December, we rescued Kham Phaneg, an elderly and almost toothless female elephant who was still being used for trekking in Pattaya. Both elephants endured harsh conditions, and these rescues mark the beginning of our impactful efforts to improve the welfare of elephants in Thailand.
The Ethical Elephant Sanctuaries (EES) platform is a comprehensive marketplace that empowers sanctuaries and ethical elephant-related establishments in Thailand. Serving as a centralized hub, it enables these venues to effectively promote their offerings and streamline the booking process for travelers. Through the EES platform, sanctuaries gain increased visibility and reach, showcasing their commitment to elephant welfare and responsible tourism practices. Ethical Elephant Sanctuaries Platform not only raises awareness but also makes it easy for travelers. Our platform provides a seamless booking experience, offering insights into each sanctuary’s mission and practices, allowing travelers to make secure reservations directly, and ensuring a meaningful and responsible elephant encounter.By bridging the gap between ethical sanctuaries and eco-conscious travelers, the EES platform fosters a symbiotic relationship that prioritizes the well-being of elephants and promotes sustainable tourism practices in Thailand.
The educational program launched by Unchained Elephants will leverage the unique elephant characters of the 2nd NFT collection (coming soon), a kids-friendly version as engaging teaching tools. Through interactive storytelling content and activities, children will immerse themselves in an inspiring journey to learn about elephants, conservation, and the importance of responsible tourism. By incorporating the Unchained Elephant characters, the program aims to foster empathy, inspire action, and empower the next generation to become advocates for elephant welfare in Thailand and beyond.
As we gear up for our third elephant rescue mission, the success of our endeavor hinges on the sales of our NFTs. Securing funds for elephant rescues are crucial, considering the significant costs involved, with prices ranging from $20,000 to $80,000 per elephant due to their classification as assets. Currently, we’re evaluating two potential rescue cases, emphasizing the urgency and importance of our ongoing fundraising efforts through the sale of our NFTs.
The utilization of funds depends on the ongoing campaign. In general, Unchained Elephants allocates generated funds for various purposes, including developing an elephant-friendly venue platform, launching a kid-friendly educational program, facilitating the rescue of elephants, and laying the foundation for an Elephant Welfare Education Centre. Each campaign is carefully tailored to make a positive and lasting impact on elephant welfare.
We appreciate your interest! Currently, our rescued elephants are located at partner sanctuaries, and visits may be subject to their policies. For specific rescues, such as Kham Phaeng’s, contributors of certain amounts may receive free tickets to visit the rescued elephants at their new sanctuary.Generally, yes you can visit them, tickets are available for visits.
