It is the year 2040. The Earth continues to struggle under the weight of pollution, exploitation, and injustice.

Many years ago, a group of activists sailed through all five great oceanic gyres to understand what, where, and how plastic pollution was affecting our oceans. These adventurers became known as the Gyrenauts.

The Gyrenauts uncovered the true depth of harm caused by plastic pollution. Its impacts were everywhere: coral reefs, remote islands, the Amazon rainforest — even in human blood.

For decades, they spread across the globe, seeking solutions. They learned that plastic pollution was connected to many of the other great struggles facing the world, such as poverty, consumerism, and environmental devastation. Now, with the Earth facing its most dire challenges ever, the Gyrenauts are reuniting to chart a course towards a cleaner, more livable planet.

And this time, you can join them.

NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token. NFTs are digital assets stored on a blockchain, showcasing proof of ownership. NFTs can be bought or sold on platforms such as OpenSea, Rarible and more.

The IRS has not yet provided official guidance on many areas concerning digital assets and tax deductibility, including the sale of NFTs by/for charitable causes. As such, 5 Gyres cannot definitively state whether or not your Gyrenaut purchase is tax-deductible. What we can confirm is that 75% of your purchase price is going directly to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status. We encourage you to take that information to your own accountant so you can make an optimally informed decision in terms of your own tax liability.

Funds raised through the minting of Gyrenauts support the cause of your choice and fight back against global plastic pollution.

If you are unsure which organization to support, you will also have the option to select an underdog! This means that you will be given a background that represents an organization that has received fewer selections than others at the time of your mint. This helps to ensure that all groups will receive a worthwhile donation.
