SAN FRANCISCO – April 7, 2022 – Scality CEO Jérôme Lecat is leading a charity non-fungible token (NFT) sale with #TogetherUkr, an exceptional NFT collection created by renowned artists to help the people of Ukraine. Launching on Friday, April 15 on www.togetherukr.com, the initiative will be selling 25,000 NFTs to raise funds for the humanitarian actions led by nonprofit organization #EnsembleUkraine, in partnership with the Paris Blockchain Summit, and to help Ukrainian artists.

The sale will close when the entire collection is minted (sold). The #EnsembleUkraine collective, supported by France Digitale, the Galion Project, and the French Tech Mission, is driven by two objectives — helping the Ukrainian people and helping Ukrainian artists. Funds from the sale will be divided as follows:

  • 20% will be donated to certified NGOs that support Ukrainian artists and Ukrainian artists taking part in the NFT charity sale.
  • 80% will be donated directly to #EnsembleUkraine for the financing of its humanitarian actions.

#EnsembleUkraine was created by a French collective of entrepreneurs from various backgrounds who share a common desire to help the Ukrainian community.

The sale will feature NFTs by Ukrainian street art artist Roman Chizz, who relies on the collaboration between human and machine for his work. Four Ukrainian painters Anastasiia Ovod, Daria Pavliuk, Vira Yakymchuk and Yana Protasova also donated paintings denouncing the horrors of war. International artists participating in the sale include Grégoire “Greg” Guillemin, a famed neo-pop-art French artist; Greek artist Frank Bakastias; and French artists Ito Dubois and Maguitte.

“I am amazed by the thousands of spontaneous citizen initiatives to support the Ukrainian people and am proud to be part of it with Ensemble Ukraine. Let’s use NFTs for good. If you already have an NFT collection — or you always wanted to invest in an NFT but did not know where to start — this is for you. We pledge to do everything in our power to change the course of history and help peace and democracy triumph.”
