Ukraine DAO: Pussy Riot, Trippy Labs and PleasrDao use Ethereum NFTs to raise funds

According to reports, Pussy Riot, Trippy Labs, members of PleasrDAO have joined the Ukraine DAO initiative, a new decentralized autonomous organization created to help those hurt by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. 

“Welcome to @Ukraine_DAO. Our goal is to raise funds to donate to Ukrainian civilian organizations who help those suffering from the war that Putin started in Ukraine.  We’ll be buying an NFT of Ukrainian flag. Much support and love to Ukraine ???????????? @TrippyLabs @PleasrDAO”.

This is a fundraiser via Ethereum-based Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) depicting flags of Ukraine. 

Nadya Tolokonnikova, political activist and Putin critic and founder of Pussy Riot specified the choice of the Ukrainian flag “because it’s not about any specific artists or aesthetics—it’s about something much bigger than all of us, it’s a pure gesture of solidarity”.

The launch will consist of 10,000 Ukrainian flag NFTs minted on Ethereum, with all proceeds benefiting the Return Alive Foundation and the NGO Proliska. In addition, a unique NFT – also of the flag – will be issued to allow larger contributors to participate.
