Stand With Ukraine
What happened
On February 24, Putin's criminal regime initiated a brutal conflict against Ukraine, endangering not merely millions of Ukrainian lives but also the stability of the entire European continent and the pillars of liberty and democracy globally. This war spares no one.
The intropia team was profoundly impacted by this conflict as, at its onset, the majority of our staff were residing in Ukraine. We were abruptly stripped of our homes, tranquility, and the assurance that we could greet the dawn of a new day alongside our loved ones. In the initial three weeks, we devoted our efforts towards aiding evacuations, raising funds for humanitarian needs, and coordinating logistics for cities incessantly under bombardment.
Our success was largely due to the overwhelming support from the global community. It was particularly heartening and invaluable to witness web3 enthusiasts like you assist with fundraising, managing funds via the DAO mechanisms, and allocating the money precisely to those in need: the victims, local organizations, and hospitals.
Gratitude to everyone who cares ❤️
Our team on line
Presently, every member of the intropia team is safe and continuing their work.
Equally, each one of us persists in supporting those remaining in their cities and those who were compelled to desert their homes. Our wartime mission as a collective and organization is to uphold our global mission to assist web3 professionals in discovering superior opportunities to employ their skills, and to aid web2 professionals in hastening their transition into the web3 realm through training, mentorship, and personal support.
Stand United with Ukraine
There are multiple ways to lend a hand: financially, information-wise, through humanitarian aid, professionally.
You can find comprehensive information for each country and all the methods in which you can assist on the official supportukrainenow.org website.
Web3 Ukraine
Here we've compiled all the web3 initiatives and funds to aid the people of Ukraine.
All the means to help are organized into three categories: through our team’s own initiatives, through verified web3 initiatives, and through direct government channels.
If you have any feedback or suggestions, feel free to drop us a direct message.
Our Initiatives
Collaborate with Us
Supporting Ukraine can also mean bolstering the Ukrainian economy. Some of our team members are still in Ukraine or assisting their families who remain there. Collaborating with us enables us to pay wages that support entire families and the micro-economy of the cities where our colleagues reside.
Collaborating with us helps us demonstrate to the world that we are an intelligent, industrious, innovative nation. A nation that develops products used by the entire civilized world: from Japan to the United States.
But you shouldn’t work with us merely out of pity. Simply give our product a try and see that it is genuinely impressive and beneficial. And appreciate it as though it was crafted by a team from any other nation.
Employ Ukrainians
Ukrainian talent is globally renowned for its professionalism, commitment, creativity, and responsibility.
Web3 is no different. Ukraine has one of the highest blockchain penetrations. More than 12% of the population own cryptocurrencies, over 20% have used crypto wallets, and more than 35% are familiar with the basic concepts and terms.
Thanks to Ukraine, you know projects like Solana, NEAR, Bitfury, Everstake, among others.
Many skilled Ukrainians are currently losing their jobs and urgently seeking new employment. This includes recent graduates or parents on parental leave.
By posting quests on our platform, you can be assured that many Ukrainian talents will see them. And you need not worry about how they will work, whether they will have such an opportunity, technically and physically. Some have managed to leave the country, and in most cities in the central and western regions, they still have access to high-speed internet and can work efficiently for your project's benefit. Besides, as you may remember, Elon Musk sent a lot of Starlink terminals to Ukraine.
You might also need the professional assistance of a recruitment agency to find even the most challenging talent. Don't hesitate to write to us at max@intropia.io and we will connect you with our sister company Make it in Ukraine. They will provide a dedicated manager and recruiters who are sure to find exactly what you need. A 100% match is guaranteed.
Donate to our Foundation
Below, you can find funds we have confirmed whose aid will certainly reach those in need.
However, if you want to ensure that every dollar (or satoshi!) undoubtedly finds someone who needs it most, right here and now, send donations to intropia addresses.
We personally guarantee that they will reach the war victims and small local organizations providing humanitarian assistance in hot spots.

WhiteBit Fund
Our old friends at WhiteBit have already distributed over $1.5 million where it’s most needed. We personally helped gather and distribute funds. We personally know the people who received them, and thanks to this, we were able to aid thousands of people with warm clothing, medicine, food, and transport. This is one of the fastest and most efficient funds with which we've ever worked.

You can assist refugees and war victims by contributing to Palianytsia — a Ukrainian charity initiative based in Lviv, Ukraine.
