2022 — 2022

Since the Russian invasion began on February 24th, our Ukrainian friends and colleagues have shared with us an overwhelming feeling of hopelessness. Many are sheltering-in-place and countless others have become refugees overnight. Baba Brave is a symbol of hope, strength and unity.

Our goal was to raise $250,000 through the sale of our NFT collection and donate 100% of the proceeds to the Unchain Fund to provide humanitarian aid to Ukrainians.

No roadmap, no exclusive club, just a way to help.
