Updated March 21, 2022

The crypto community has been quick to mobilize support for Ukraine after Russia invaded the country on Feb 24th. A number of volunteer driven initiatives cropped up leveraging web3 tools to organize, collect and manage crypto donations. To date over $100 million have been raised in crypto. The government of Ukraine Crypto Fund has raised over $60M. Initially the government had put out a plea for crypto donations on Twitter by sharing wallet addresses. With the help of Aid For Ukraine (a collective of crypto companies) they now have an official website with a tracker showing funds raised

Pussy Riot’s Nadya Tolokonnikova banded with members of the crypto community to start a decentralized autonomous organization called Ukraine DAO. The DAO is mobilizing donations by auctioning an NFT of the Ukrainian Flag through party bid (people can bid for NFT as a group thus encouraging contributions of every size) and also accepting direct donations at UkraineDAO.eth. The group has raised over $6.5M.
