What Are Coinstronauts?


Coinstronauts are unique digital entities, an exclusive assortment of characters whose ownership is securely stored on the Ethereum blockchain. Born from the confluence of the CryptoArt movement and interstellar exploration, each Coinstronaut is an "Non-Fungible Token" (NFT) on the Ethereum blockchain. These are more than just visually appealing characters; they symbolize the various cryptocurrencies in the market, each suit representing a specific cryptocurrency and equipped with special technology to interface with the corresponding blockchain network.

As intrepid explorers, Coinstronauts are tasked with expanding the influence of cryptocurrency across the universe. Each Coinstronaut’s suit allows them to interact with the associated blockchain network and carry out transactions across galaxies. Their fascinating backstory outlines their heroic journey in detail, narrating their resilience in the face of numerous challenges, their unwavering commitment to the power of cryptocurrency, and their triumphant return to Earth.You can read the full Coinstronauts backstory here.

How Are Coinstronauts Structured? 


At the helm of the Coinstronauts fleet is the chief of space operations (CSO), General Coinstronaut. His iconic suit bears the official Coinstronaut emblem, and his figure graces our social media headers and logos. Under General Coinstronaut's guidance, Space Operations Command (SpOC) wings, also known as Collections, have been established. Each Collection is centered around a particular cryptocurrency, and they are responsible for advancing the development, adoption, and promotion of their designated cryptocurrency.



Each wing, or collection, is focused on one particular cryptocurrency such as a coin or token. The goal of each wing is to further the development, adoption, and promotion of their designated cryptocurrency or crypto asset. 


Within each collection, or wing, there are a range of unique Coinstronauts, each with unique color grading, which signifies their particular role. 


  • Moon - Lieutenant General
  • Fuschia - Major General
  • Blue - Brigadier General
  • Red - Colonel
  • Green - Lieutenant Colonel

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do NFTs Work?

NFTs use a successor to Bitcoin called Ethereum which allows for arbitrary computer code to be executed on the blockchain and the results of the execution to be stored forever. In other words, Ethereum lets everyone execute the code, show each other what result they got, and agree that the code was executed properly and fairly. This gives people 100% ownership over their NFTs and lets them buy, sell, and trade them with others. 


How Can I Buy A Coinstronaut?

If you are new to NFTs, there are a few easy steps that you need to follow to buy a Coinstronaut. 


First, you’ll need to download and install a Chrome browser plugin called MetaMask. This will allow websites (that you authorize) access to your Ethereum account.


Next, you’ll need to buy some Ether. The MetaMask plugin has a button that will allow you to buy Ether from Coinbase. This is a popular Cryptocurrency exchange that lets you buy Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies using a card or bank transfer.
