Elon Musk is the first inductee into the Ukrainian NFT Museum MetaHistory’s Hall of Fame, but he will not be the last. Mila Kunis and Elton John are among the other notable inductees.
The Hall – MetaHistory’s Hall of Fame
Many businessmen, artists and politicians supported Ukraine since the beginning of war. But some people stood out. MetaHistory, Ukraine’s NFT museum, now wants to commemorate those individuals on the blockchain. The team of MetaHistory released the 1st part of its collection of artworks on March 30 to great success, collecting $800k from the sales – 100% of which goes as a donation to the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, the project’s official supporter.
This week, they’re launching The Hall of Fame, a special selection of NFT portraits of people that have helped Ukraine in its time of need. They provided services and goods, helped Ukraine in secret, and then used their art as a way to raise awareness and solicit donations.
These artworks aren’t for sale, they are an expression of gratitude – similar to how paintings were presented to royal families and famous scientists in the past. NFT-based artworks, however, will be available on the blockchain indefinitely. Ukraine’s supporters are quite literally writing history through their deeds.
These people are you? MetaHistory’s team picked them based on how vocal they were in supporting Ukraine, and what real action they have taken. You all know their names – have a look at the Hall of Fame itself https://metahistory.gallery/hall. A little hint: actions like this can earn you a place in MetaHistory’s Hall of Fame:
This exchange was born when Ukraine’s Digital Minister Mr. Fedorov posted one of the tweets that later made him famous at home. Tweets that inspire action and show determination, courage, and leadership. Starlink was able to establish a strong Internet connection thanks to this tweet.
Musk is inductee number one into the Hall. But he’s not the last. Some other inductees include: Mila Kunis, Elton John, Jared Leto, Jim Carrey, and Benedict Cumberbatch – their portraits are ready to be presented in the Hall of Fame.
The community joined MetaHistory’s team in expressing gratitude:
“MetaHistory is a project put superbly together under conditions where most can’t think about more than immediate survival and concern for loved ones. When you can hear bombs outside, how do you concentrate on quality? MetaHistory created a use case to enable blockchain utility, while also preserving Ukraine’s future and heritage. I am humbled and happy to be its ambassador,” commented Vesa, cryptoartist.
“It was a huge privilege for me to represent Ukraine DAO at the panel discussion organised by MetaHistory last week alongside Alex Bornyakov, Dima Buterin, and Brittany Kaiser. I’m excited about the Hall of Fame and so proud to see all this support for Ukraine from the world’s businesspeople and artists,” commented Alona ShevchenkoUkraine DAO.
The Hall is going to be released in conjunction with the 2nd part of the museum’s collection, the so-called 2nd drop. Waone Mozhos, Sestry Fieldman, Danya Schulipa, Irene Neyman and many others have produced masterpieces that commemorated the events of March 2nd through March 14th. This part of the collection, unlike the Hall, is available for purchase – you can mint an NFT for 0.15 ETH. If you want to participate in the community & donate to Ukraine – while getting a beautiful artwork in return, have a look at their website https://metahistory.gallery/This Sunday, May 1, at 23:59 GMT+
