MakersPlace, the Ethereum based NFT marketplace, sends a clear support message to Ukraine in an act of kindness. The marketplace announced several measures on Twitter, including a donation of the proceeds from an NFT drop today.
The news today is concerning, and many wonder how they can help those affected by the brutality of war.
In a tweet to their 105 thousand followers, MakersPlace said, “In response to the situation in Ukraine, we have decided to pull all social comms today, besides the planned Drop with @Hackatao + Twitter Spaces. A portion of the proceeds from today’s Drop will be donated to @RedCrossUkraine.”
MakersPlace also put a link to the Ukrainian Red Cross in their bio. It is unclear how much the NFT drop will raise in funds, but every little helps people suffering.
Hackatao is a unique and very distinctive popular artist, so there will be a lot of interest in the project.
