gm,
It feels impossible to do "enough" in this difficult time for Ukraine. We can help displaced people, purchase medicine and equipment for our friends on the front lines, donate to charities, still it all seems too small. 1/5🧵
With this thought and calling, Maria & Vitaly, Ukrainians in Germany working at Meta, started working on a digital art NFT collection in support of Ukraine in April.
At the same time, Nataliya, talented Ukrainian artist from Sweden, was already working on unique illustrations 2/5
of heroes from cities in Ukraine, her art went viral, seen everywhere from decorating textiles to tattoos. The team was joined by web3 native Oleksiy, talented game artist Anastasia and engineer Hryhory. 3/5
Incredible stories of bravery, creativity and support in web3, inspired by @nft_uardians & @Natashale777 art.
Life is short, art is long.

As @veraverze had to leave her home country for the time being she opened a #meta@unimuseum to share art created in the time of war and invited UArdians to be a part of it. 3/
#NAFO the North Atlantic Fella Organization. It's an ad hoc collection of cybernauts, amateur artists & donors. They post on social media to back Ukraine and channel contributions to causes that buy equipment for troops, like the Georgian Legion, or support humanitarian-aid 1/🧵
Ukrainian Defense Minister @oleksiireznikov & Estonian Prime Minister @kajakallas are NAFO fellas. Lithuanian Foreign Minister @GLandsbergis recently toured the Ukrainian port city of Odessa in a “NAFO FAN” T-shirt under his sport jacket. 2/
Trevor Reed, a former U.S. Marine who was imprisoned in Russia for almost three years, wore a similar shirt in an interview on MSNBC. 3/
UArdians family is growing. We welcome new UArdians almost every week! We are working to include something special into our upcoming collection. Something that could make us closer to each other, enabling interaction. 1/🧵
Do you remember when collecting getting a duplicate? What did you do then? You could find someone who had a duplicate of an item you want and ask for exchange, right? Or set your duplicated item for sale so someone else could buy it to complete their collection!
'UArdians Fam' will be the next step in the UArdians NFT evolution, adding community interaction and enabling some base economy!

gm,
you are important.
russia is mobilizing another 1.2M troops to send to Ukraine. It's a global threat. You are important in protecting the world from the evil empire's tyranny, nuclear threat. You have the power. You are connected to billions free humans. Together we stand. 1/
Mass media strives on novelty, the war is not in the news. We can speak for what is important for us. There is nothing more important than human lives and liberty.
We share stories that speak to our hearts.💙💛 We are decentralized and there are billions of us. We can do it. 2/
The winter on fire is coming.

Why would we launch in Web 3? - @nft_uardians story. 🧵
Time is a top priority for us, the shortest time-to-market, the quickest funds availability. All we need is a minting code. We wrote our custom, here is why: 1/
trust is everything. We embrace radical transparency by design. The code distributes the funds received to the public web3 addresses of the chosen charities. How do we chose them? 2/
We work with the ones we share values with. @razomforukraine has full transparency for 9th year of its running. Their help comes the quickest, as they do procurement and delivery in house. That saves lives of the heroes. How trust works? 3/
