Ukraine accepts DOT, founder Gavin Wood donates $5.8million
The official Ukraine crypto wallets are now accepting donations from the Polkadot (DOT) ecosystem; cofounder Gavin Wood has donated $5.8 million or 298,367 DOT.
Calls from the crypto community for Ukraine to accept other cryptocurrencies have been answered. The official Ukraine Twitter account shared that it will now accept donations from Polkadot (DOT), while other cryptocurrencies will soon be added.
Total crypto donations for Ukrainian charities, the military and the government have been over $37 million, by Cointelegraph estimates. Wood’s single donation comprises over 10% of the total crypto donations.
Indeed, Wood’s donation is one of the largest individual crypto donations to date. Sam Bankman-Fried’s platform, FTX, donated $25 to each Ukrainian on his exchange platform, while CEO Deepak Thapliyal of Chain.com donated 100 Ether (ETH), or over $280,000 USD.
Besides Wood, the Polkadot ecosystem had already contributed over $210,000 to the official DOT wallet for Ukraine since this morning, according to Polkadot blockchain data.
