Close to the heart:
Women-led NFT project PUL3E to launch a charitable mission to raise funds for Heart Failure!
PUL3E is an NFT (Non-Fungible Token) project founded by Emilie and her partner Andrew, creating unique digital art on the Ethereum blockchain.
–PUL3E has pledged to donate 5-10% of all proceeds raised from selling their NFT art to Heart Failure charities.
—Their 3D animated artwork (see a sample above in the headline) is based on a 3D model of the human heart and true-to-life ECG patterns, showcasing a range of heart conditions and abnormalities.

In April 2021 Andrew was hospitalized and diagnosed with severe Dilated Cardiomyopathy and acute Heart Failure at the age of 31. He was, up until about 3 weeks before his hospital admission, healthy and active. The family’s world has been turned upside-down since his diagnosis and illness, and there are many more hurdles to overcome.
Emilie, their Project Lead, was already active in the Cryptocurrency and NFT space prior to Andrew’s diagnosis. When he became ill, however, she felt a passion ignite to combine her existing knowledge and awareness of NFT’s and her passion for supporting Andrew and others. Emilie is also extremely passionate about being a woman in the NFT space, advocating for more women-led projects to be brought to the forefront, and for women, artists and project leads to be celebrated in the industry.
Emilie
Emilie said “Since our lives have completely changed through Andrew’s diagnosis, my mission has been to raise awareness and funds for heart charities: in particularly UK-based charities who have supported Andrew and I throughout the past year. Being in our thirties, we are both passionate about helping to fund lifesaving and life-changing research being carried out by charities going forward, as we are hopeful that in Andrew’s lifetime there may come to light more treatment options and possibilities.
Charities becoming involved in and receiving donations from cryptocurrency and NFT projects is still a relatively new, innovative, and progressive concept. It would be great if we could take the lead in championing this and target an entirely fresh demographic to bring attention to the cause. I am already part of the NFT community on social media and marketplaces, and sales are booming. There are many potential buyers who also support and back charitable causes.
In recent weeks we have seen huge international brands like Adidas, Manchester City Football Club, and NBA announce collaborations, partnering, and involvement in the NFT space. This is a unique opportunity for us to continue to advocate for charities and the exceptional work they already do in an innovative way, moving us all further into the digital age!”
PUL3E has launched today, December 2021. By supporting the project, not only will you be buying a unique 1/1 piece of digital art, but you will also be helping to raise money and awareness for important charities. By holding one of their original collection pieces, you will also gain access to future collections and special events. They are even giving away a Mutant Ape Yacht Club NFT (currently worth around $26,000) as part of their minting goals!
When will the project launch and how can I buy?
PUL3E has launched today (12/21/2021) on the Ethereum network.
The exact time is TBA – keep an eye on our social media channels and website for this information.
You will be able to mint your NFTs through our website after connecting your cryptocurrency wallet and using the mint function button.
How many are for sale and what is the mint price?
There is a limited supply of 7676 available at launch.
—Hidden in these 7676 pieces will be 10 x limited edition 1/1 pieces. These pieces are entirely different in design with totally unique traits that will not be seen in any of the other 7666. The mint price will be 0.06 ETH.
Is there a roadmap?
Yes, we have made public our Phase One roadmap. We have plans after launch to reward our supporters and investors by creating benefits for holding our NFT’s, including giveaways and access to future projects. We have already been thinking of ways we can take these ideas forward to create awareness and raise money for other health conditions, too. Stay tuned for more exciting things to come!!
And finally, why should I buy a PUL3E NFT?
By investing in a PUL3E NFT you will automatically get the following benefits:
- You will own a meaningful, unique piece of digital art. These pieces have been created ‘from the heart’, and with the purpose of raising awareness and raising funds for Heart Failure and related charities. YOU will be part of this mission and will have helped to make a difference.
- You will be able to sell your NFT for a potential profit as the value rises on the secondary market if you choose to.
- Owning a PUL3E NFT will grant you access in the future to exclusive giveaways, competitions, and voting rights for future brand decisions. It will also ensure you are part of future collection drops.
- You will be a part of supporting and advocating for women-led projects and paving the way for women rising on the blockchain.
- You will be part of our amazing, positive and supportive community, and you will be the first to know about important news and future collections!
In other words, not only are you getting a piece of digital art, you are helping raise the awareness of the problems of Heart Failure and other related charities. You are helping others with heart disease to get more help!
Roadmap

Once the below mint targets have been met and accomplished, we will ensure that these are followed through and met, and we will push forward to the next phase. We have very exciting plans for the future (including ideas for further collections and charitable causes) and will release further updates to our roadmap when Phase One is complete. Stay tuned!!

About PUL3E
PUL3E is a women-led, charity-focused NFT project which was founded by Emilie after her partner Andrew was diagnosed with Heart Failure earlier this year at the age of 31. They are releasing a collection of 7676 3D animated NFT’s based on a model of a human heart, designed to showcase a range of heart conditions and abnormalities. Their pledge/mission is to raise money for the charities that have supported them and many others during their journey, whilst flying the flag for women rising on the blockchain.
FAQ (taken from Discord server)
What is PUL3E?
PUL3E is a collection of 7676 beautiful randomly-generated NFT’s that exist on the Ethereum blockchain.
The designs are based on the human heart and have been created using unique and skilled 3D modeling and animation.
Each one is totally unique, just like our own hearts. The 3D animated artwork is based on a 3D model of the human heart and true-to-life ECG patterns, showcasing a range of heart conditions and abnormalities.
Who is behind the project?
The project is being created and managed by Emilie, who is working alongside an amazing 3D artist and animator, and a trusted and skilled developer. Emilie’s fiancé, Andrew, has provided the inspiration for the project through his own personal experiences. We are proud to be a woman-led project, and Emilie is being constantly inspired by other successful women in the NFT space.
Why hearts?
In April 2021, completely out of the blue, Andrew became very poorly very quickly, to the point where he was breathless, couldn’t eat properly, had pains all over his body, and was even struggling to do things like getting dressed and walking down the stairs. He was quickly hospitalized and diagnosed with severe Heart Failure and Dilated Cardiomyopathy. At the age of 31, this came as a massive shock to everybody around him. After weeks of hospital visits, stays, and recuperation, Andrew developed 2 blood clots, due to the impaired function of his heart and circulation, which needed further medical intervention. Since then, Andrew has been prescribed heavy doses of medication and life has changed significantly. He went through surgery to have a CRT-D (Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy-Defibrillator) fitted which has now taken over pacing his heart rate and rhythms and will send out a shock if the defibrillator needs to kick in.
Andrew has fought hard to get to a place where he is now stable for the time being, however, he now has the difficult task of coming to terms with his diagnosis at such a young age. Andrew’s life has changed forever. We do not know what the future holds, however, he has stayed so strong and this has been an inspiration to Emilie who has been by his side throughout. Emilie has been in the cryptocurrency and NFT space for a while, and the inspiration for this project came soon after Andrew was diagnosed.
What are you trying to achieve?
In short, we want to use the NFT space for good. We want to use amazing and meaningful digital art to raise awareness for heart conditions, and raise money for the charities who have supported us, and so many others going through similar situations, throughout the most difficult year. At the same time, we want to build a solid and tight-knit community that builds each other up and supports one another, and we want our community to benefit, too! We want to create a safe, welcoming environment and a project with good intentions of giving back. We believe that our project will be hugely successful, and we want our community to ride that wave with us.
Charity goals
We have watched in amazement as the NFT space has exploded in this year. There are so many different projects, innovative ideas and creations. We were inspired to do something slightly different, and to use our amazing and meaningful digital art to raise awareness for heart conditions, and raise money for the charities who have supported us, and so many others going through similar situations, throughout the most difficult year.
We have pledged to donate to British Heart Foundation and Pumping Marvellous Heart Failure Foundation. This is unwavering and we will maintain our pledge whether we sell 1 PUL3E piece or all of them. We will be donating 10% of all proceeds to the charities should we sell 50-100% of our pieces, and 5% of all proceeds should we sell 0-50%.
