Ukraine Launches "NFT Museum" to Remember the War and Raise Funds
Ukraines Ministry of Digital Transformation announced last Friday that it has launched a MetaHistory NFT Museum, a blockchain-based collection of digital images of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Ukrainian government launched a non-fungible-token (NFT) collection to tell the story of Russian ongoing war in which it invaded its neighbour since February 24. Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraines Vice Prime Minister who also runs the ministry of digital transformation, said that the collection is “like a museum of the Russian-Ukrainian war” that features a series of recent invasion events narrated in non-fungible tokens (NFT) in the form of digital art paired with written reflections. NFTs are any digital items like GIFs, music, painting, drawing, etc., that are recorded on a Blockchain distributed database. NFTs are immutable, and this means that they cannot be modified or edited once uploaded. Fedorov said each NFT art would represent a story from the war. Every piece of art would be backed by a reliable news source. “We want it to be cool, good-looking, and it takes time,” he stated. The executive said that minting the artwork in the form of NFTs will help preserve the story of the war while also raising funds for Ukraine. Artists who want to be featured
