Zelenskyy, A Hero of Our Time NFTs

The Zelenskyy, A Hero of Our Time NFT project was created by Shlomo Cohen & Assaf Liran.

They created this NFT project because of the current conflicts between Ukraine and Russia, and saw NFTs as an avenue to support Ukraine.

They saw the blockchain’s ability to mint NFTs as a positive way to help give back to Ukraine. This allows anyone with access to a Cardano wallet across the globe to buy an NFT, and support Ukraine.

Shlomo chose to mint NFTs on the Cardano blockchain because it’s the best “they know of” and has a positive impact on the environment compared to other players currently in the space.

Mission & Vision Behind the Art

“You can save lives, no matter where in the world you are. A simple donation. A few clicks on your keyboard. A message to the right person. Everything you need to help Ukrainians in their fight for peace and freedom.

You can follow our Discord for updates and transparency on the donation process.” – Shlomo

Who this supports

75% of the total income will be sent on the blockchain to the official Ukraine donation wallet, read more here: https://war.ukraine.ua/donate

The Ukrainian people will never forget your generosity and support at our time of greatest need

Every single donation – no matter how small – helps us to defend and to protect Ukraine’s cherished freedom

The Zelenskyy, A Hero of Our Time NFTs collection is being minted using the NFT minting service NFT Maker.io, and currently has minted 3333 NFTs for the collections.

NFT Maker.io is a way for people to mint NFTs. NFT Maker is a toolset consisting of a web app and accompanying API that enables you to create, manage, and sell NFTs at scale on the Cardano blockchain. It has been built to empower large projects with a smooth sales and distribution process.

Connection to the Sustainable Development goals

The United Nations’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are an urgent call for action by all countries.

The ‘Zelenskyy, A Hero of Our Time’ NFT collection is not directly connected to the SDGs, but does indirectly connect to SDG 13 Climate Action, SDG 14 Life Below Water, SDG 15 Life On Land, SDG 16 Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions.

Apocalypsea

Plastic waste is becoming a strategic threat to the global environment and is already causing irreversible damage. In recent years and now it’s stands at over 300 million tons per year. Study found that, in a “business as usual” scenario, the ocean will contain a ton of plastic for every ton of fish by 2025, and by 2050 the amount of plastic will already exceed the number of fish.

We need small steps for a big change!

This campaign is to raising awareness around the pollution of oceans and 100% of ADA collected will go to support plastic cleaning NGOs.
