Stand with Ukraine and donate crypto to the fundraising account of the National Bank of Ukraine. The funds will be used for the support of humanitarian aid programs and the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Aid For Ukraine campaign is powered by Everstake, endorsed by the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine in partnership with FTX and Kuna.
Everstake is a Ukraine-based company that wants to give the crypto community a viable option to efficiently stand with Ukraine, and thus launched their initiative dubbed Aid For Ukraine.
Aid For Ukraine is cooperating with the cryptocurrency exchange FTX which converts crypto funds received into fiat and sends the donations to the National Bank of Ukraine. This marks the first-ever instance of a cryptocurrency exchange directly cooperating with a public financial entity to provide a conduit for crypto donations.
All funds raised through this effort will go directly towards aiding Ukrainians. The donations will be used to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine as well as Ukrainian civilians in dire need of humanitarian aid.

Thanks so much for everyone from the crypto community for supporting Ukraine!” – Mykhailo Fedorov Vice Prime Minister – Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.
„Today, crypto is playing a significant role in Ukraine’s defense. Huge thanks to the crypto community for this unprecedented support of Ukraine and its defense of the principles of democracy and freedom in face of the war waged by the Russian Federation.” – Alex Bornyakov, the Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.
„Aid For Ukraine shows how the global crypto community and the traditional financial system can work together. Crypto donations to the DAO are stored and governed on-chain, then transferred to FTX, a centralized exchange, to be sold for fiat USD sent via SWIFT to the Ukrainian government.” – Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana.
„This is not just the war against centralized regime, this is the birth of blockchain as a backbone of global security.” – Mike Chobanian, founder of KUNA Exchange, President of Blockchain Association of Ukraine.
