Why it exists
HORDE ties Byron’s existing horror and mixed-media art world to an XRPL-native community that can grow with every drop, release, and collaboration.
About HORDE
Art, chaos, community on XRPL.
HORDE is Byron Rempel’s artist-led XRPL project, built to connect his horror art, NFT work, and community under one banner. It is not pitched as a finance product. It is a tribe built around art, collector culture, and the weird energy that made Byron’s work stand out in the first place.
Byron describes himself as a lifelong artist who fell in love with NFTs and blockchain, first building on WAX and then committing to XRPL for the long haul. HORDE is the bridge between that art career and a real on-chain community.

What holders get
The pitch is access to art-linked rewards: physical pieces, limited prints, exclusive drops, giveaways, and other perks driven by Byron’s real art sales and releases.
What it is not
HORDE is explicitly not presented as a security, investment, or financial instrument, and it makes no promises of profit or appreciation.
The founder story
Built by Byron Rempel
Byron is a lifelong artist whose work spans zombie portraiture, mixed media, generative projects, and darkly funny experiments. After exploring NFTs on WAX, he chose XRPL as the place to build for the long haul.
Long before HORDE on XRPL, Byron’s zombie work had already broken into wider internet culture. Forbes featured him in 2012 as the artist behind a “Google+ Zombie Apocalypse”, spotlighting the period when his zombie portrait project pulled a major audience and made the undead style central to his public identity.
HORDE is the public expression of that move. It gives the community a way to rally around Byron’s art, his collections, and a shared identity that feels grimy, funny, and human instead of sterile and corporate.
Long-running zombie legacy
This matters because HORDE is not random branding. The zombie world around Byron has been part of his story for years, from the 1000 Zombies era and wider web coverage to the collections he now carries onto XRPL.

What defines the Horde
Artist-led
HORDE starts with Byron’s real work, real releases, and a real body of art already living on XRPL.
Inclusive
The project is framed as a tribe, not a gated club. The point is belonging, participation, and shared chaos.
Reward-driven
Holders are meant to benefit from art-linked perks like physical pieces, prints, drops, and giveaways.
Core tone
Memes, art, horror, and real human connection. When HORDE works, it feels less like a token dashboard and more like an underground scene on XRPL that already has a body of work behind it.
Existing body of work
Collections already live on XRPL
HORDE is backed by real output. Byron already has collections across LadyCafe, XRP.CAFE, and XRP Deals, ranging from zombies and TV-headed creeps to cats, pizza chaos, experimental stamps, and generative skulls.
