Start with Reli3f, a humanitarian aid initiative founded by the web3 community. The group’s first collection is in support of the people of Ukraine, and includes 37 of web3’s most influential artists, some of whom call Ukraine home. The project raised $1 million dollars and sold out in 30 seconds.

Web3 is activating in real time in a real way in a real war. This is the future meeting the present. While the tragedy taking place can’t be resolved immediately, it’s clear the immediacy of the impact web3 is having on the moment is noticeable. This immediacy is at the heart of crypto; fast, seamless and borderless transactions with no red tape or third parties, and this is also proving the strong community behind web3. Stay safe and click here to find the addresses to donate and support Ukraine if you can.
