The situation in Ukraine is getting more and more bleak, but people are bracing to fight on, and the crypto community is ramping up its own arsenal, too. Over the past week, multiple crypto fundraising efforts have been launched in Ukraine by both the government and various activists, including the Russian art collective Pussy Riot.

Unchain is a fund that unites multiple crypto projects in an attempt to raise funds in a decentralized and transparent way that the blockchain technology can offer. Each donation wallet will be configured as a multisig, so that Unchain’s team of key holders, distributed across Ukraine and other countries, can have access to funds at all times.

Listen to Anna and Danny talk to Rev about how the Ukrainians are holding up, what are the plans of Unchain and how things are going with the crypto fundraising.
