An NFT to Unite Under


An NFT to Unite Under
One NFT to unite them all. UkraineDAO

Not only is Ukraine benefitting from cryptocurrency to fund their defense against the Russian invasion, but NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are also coming to their aid

The Ukrainian organization UkraineDAO put together the fundraiser with the intention of selling the image of the Ukrainian flag. The event drew in thousands of participants, including one of Pussy Riot's members, Nadya Tolokonnikova, an adamant opponent of President Putin. Along with backing the fundraiser, Tolokonnikova stated that it is the Ukrainian flag that "unites us."

Within 72 hours of the start of the fundraiser, it received over 3,200 individual contributions, all of which will be donated to Come Back Alive. UkraineDAO's fundraiser is only evidence of the continuing and enthusiastic support for the Ukrainian cause, as not only are citizens speaking out, but so are big names in Russia.
