Ukraine Launches NFT Museum To Preserve Country’s History

Ukraine will launch an NFT museum “to preserve the statehood and history of Ukraine,” Alex Bornyakov, the country’s Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation, said.

Bornyakov revealed plans for the website, titled “Meta History: Museum of War,” on social media. The site also includes a “warline,” a timeline of events, each of them accompanied by a corresponding NFT.

The NFTs each feature a post regarding a significant moment in the war, along with an illustration by various Ukrainian artists.

So far, only the first three days of the war have been documented. The NFTs will be available for sale on March 30 starting at 0.15 ETH, which is currently valued at about $475. Proceeds from the sales of the NFTs go directly to the Ministry of Digital Transformation.

The NFT-museum is based on a deep intention to keep the memory of real wartime events via blockchain and raise charitable donations to support Ukraine.

Another tweet goes, “Just imagine indefinite chain of information which is visible for everyone, but cannot be changed by anyone. Sounds like a perfect solution to immortalize the real facts!”

Anything can be immortalized using blockchain technology. In the case of Meta History, the Ministry is using posts from international governmental bodies and officials as verified markers of events.
