About Us

GATORZ is a digital art collection (NFT) inspired by the legendary story of the "tire-necked crocodile" from Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. In 2016, a wild crocodile was spotted with a motorcycle tire tightly wrapped around its neck a haunting symbol of the impact of pollution on wildlife.

No one knew exactly how it got there, but one thing was clear: the crocodile had grown with the tire slowly choking its body over time. From the moment it was first discovered, a mission to save the crocodile began.

Over the next seven years, more than ten rescue attempts were made from local wildlife officers to international conservationists. The world watched as this crocodile became a symbol of resilience and survival.

The story captured global attention, attracting wildlife experts like Forrest Galante and the Discovery Channel team, as well as Australian crocodile wrangler Matt Wright, all eager to help. Finally, in 2022, against all odds, the crocodile was freed by a local hero a craftsman and fisherman named Hili using only handmade tools, a rope, and raw courage.

GATORZ pays tribute to this extraordinary journey. It is not just art; it's a digital monument to endurance, environmental awareness, and the power of human compassion.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Artist

Nasya Alya Juliaman

Nasya Alya Juliaman

Gatorz Artist

Alya a young girl with a strong creative soul, even at just 14 years old, she's already dropped two NFT collections on the XRP Ledger and earned big support from the XRPL community. The Gatorz project is deeply tied to where Alya comes from, Central Sulawesi. She chose the image of a crocodile with a tire around its neck, a powerful symbol that once caught the world's attention.

Nobody really stepped up to turn it into something creative… until now. Back in 2020, Alya actually drew this piece for a project on the Sui network, but when launch time came, the core team behind it went quiet and dropped the ball. That's when undead.jpeg stepped in, they picked it up, ready to evolve the idea, bring the local culture to life, and give this legendary croc a fresh new spotlight. Now, it's set to become something dope and meaningful, a proud part of the XRPL fam.

Rio Septa

Rio Septa

Zemoura Artist

Rio Septa is a local artist with an abstract style so raw and deep, it makes you wonder what's running through his mind every time he picks up a brush and paint. His work hits different, there's power in it, something that sticks with you, something that feels personal to Rio.

He's a young soul, trying to create something from a small town with whatever tools he's got. Rio and his friend Al Chaidar make the perfect duo. That friend's part of the unRUG team, they invited Rio to bring his creativity online. It took time for him to feel at home with digital tools, but once he did, it clicked. He realized there's a whole world he can pour himself into, no limits, no rules… just pure expression.

Ejorrrr

Ejorrrr

Creative team

Ejor's a trader who loves putting his money behind creative folks. Big supporter of both traditional and digital art — he believes artists ain't just born, they're built. Alya's his little sister, and he's been backing her from day one.

He's tight with the Zemoura Art crew, and ever since he got into blockchain and crypto, he's been on a mission. Started off with Bitcoin, then jumped into Web3, chasing every opportunity. He even led his own project once, but it didn't vibe — too many online friends, not enough trust.

Later, he threw some XRP in the mix, and that's when it clicked — the XRPL fam is solid, full of artists and builders. That's when he knew. He locked in with Zemoura and started GATORZ — his own brand to bring all his wild internet dreams to life.

"This small town ain't big enough for all the ideas in my head. I need space to build something real."

Al Chaidar

Al Chaidar

Creative team

Al Chaidar's the kind of person who loves digging into the tech behind blockchain and crypto. He's always learning, always curious. He's the one who convinced Rio to take his creativity online, telling him, "Web3 is wide open, we need all the talent we can get."

That's how Zemoura Art got started, his first project, born from that vision. Teaming up with Rio, undead.jpeg, aka Ejorrrr, turned out to be a solid collab. Together, they're building something real.

Zemoura Art isn't just a project, it's a movement. It starts in this town, with this crew, and it's headed for the world.
