PeaceDAO, the organization that advocates for world peace and for the prevention of national conflicts and class struggles through cryptography, has announced that it is building a real country that will belong to the cryptocurrency world as well as exist within a real-world map. PeaceDAO plans to use DAO, Decentralized Autonomous Organization, to govern the country and provide a potentially safe place for those displaced by war to rebuild their lives.

The development comes as war in Eastern Europe continues. With the Russian invasion of Ukraine, more than a million people have been displaced, with many crossing the border to find relative safety in Poland, Romania, Moldova, Slovakia, and other countries. At the time of this writing, an end to the conflict is not in sight, and the exodus of Ukrainian refugees continues.

PeaceDAO states that it is developing an initiative to assist people who have been affected by the upheaval caused by military actions in Ukraine as well as war in other parts of the globe. “Through our work, we seek to help the world to avoid a third world war that could kill even more innocent civilians,” a spokesperson says. “Through cryptography, we aim to limit the misunderstandings and geopolitical tensions that continue to cause wars. These conflicts, as we all know, leave behind death, destruction, famine, and other miseries that cause people across borders as well as subsequent generations to suffer. It's this suffering that drives us hard towards our ultimate goal: achieving global peace through a new economic system based on decentralized governance. To accomplish this, we plan to create a new country, one that divests from traditional geoeconomics and geopolitics.”

Central to PeaceDAO's work is DAO, an autonomous  organization which is reinforced by cryptology. DAOs, the team explains, are organizations which are not governed by a single administrative unit but may contain various businesses and organizations spread around the world. 

“A DAO is an organization that may issue its own cryptocurrency that is based on the principle of collaboration rather than the management of a single person,” the company says. “The DAO is programmed so that it is constantly optimized, either by improving its own source code or by making changes in its business model. Those responsible for the operation of DAO will be both people and computer programs. The biggest difference between DAO and a traditional company is that no one has control over the DAO, which is community driven.”

PeaceDAO states that its project extends the boundaries of the blockchain industry and has the potential to be not only a wealth creator but also an advanced governance system using DAO. "There are no borders and no class contradictions - only fair nodes in a blockchain-based world. By enlisting the help of our cypherpunk community, we believe we will be able to accomplish what has eluded us for too long: peace.”

PeaceDAO is a community-led organization that believes truth and love can only be found in a peaceful environment. Its vision is of a world that sees the true power of communities that dream of a better future for everyone.

 – March 8, 2022 – Metacurio, the leading NFT creative agency for A-list talent and global brands, today announced it is producing an historic NFT collaboration with Ukrainian star Wladimir Klitschko and legendary artist WhIsBe. The NFT series, which drops Wednesday, features four NFT editions of the artist's “Vandal Gummy” bears in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. The collection will be titled “Vandalz for Ukraine: WhIsBe x Wladimir Klitschko.”

Leading NFT marketplace OpenSea will be hosting the drop. Three editions of “Vandal Gummy” bear NFTs will be available at different price points of $100, $1,000, and $10,000. There will be a 1-of-1 NFT selling for $1MM. All funds from the drop will go directly toward supporting the people of Ukraine during this crisis, with participating partners waiving their fees. The drop sale will last for three weeks starting tomorrow.

“This is not just a chance to own an astonishing piece of art history but, more importantly, an easy way to directly support the people of Ukraine who are in crisis right now,” said Metacurio Founders Sophie Watts and Jeff Hood in a joint statement. “We are humbled to support this cause in every way possible.” 

“It is a magnificent initiative: a support through art, a superb "suppart" at the service of people who suffer,” says Wladimir Klitschko. “Art can be beautiful on many levels when used to serve humanity.”

“I'm grateful for the opportunity to be of service for the greater good,” noted WhIsBe. “It's incredible to be able to use my art and this emerging technology to help others in need and provide immediate relief to any location in the world.”

Wladimir Klitschko, founder, lecturer and longest-reigning heavyweight boxing world champion, and his brother Vitali Klitschko, Mayor of Kyiv and former world boxing champion, have been the faces of Ukrainian resistance to Russia's invasion along with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. All proceeds will go to Red Cross Ukraine and UNICEF, ensuring that funds from the NFT sale go directly to the resources most direly needed by Ukraine in its current defense against Russian forces. 

Contemporary artist WhIsBe has established a formidable reputation in not just the renegade world of street art, but also the mainstream art world encompassing the museum, gallery and arena of public installations. WhIsBe entered into the crypto space back in 2017 and became one of the first fine artists to enter into the NFT space in early 2020. He has since made his mark in the community by selling the first non-auction 7 figure NFT and becoming one of the top 10 NFT artists in the world. His moniker, shorthand for “What is Beauty,” is at once innocuous and sweet, while introducing more substantive themes of cultural examination and subversion that underline much of his body of work.
