Airdrops involve crypto projects sending free tokens en masse to their communities in a bid to encourage adoption. The airdrop this week, however, would mark the first time a nation conducts an airdrop for crypto donations.
Ukraine started accepting cryptocurrencies as means of donation on Feb. 26 as Russian troops entered Ukrainian territory in a “special military operation.” The country is accepting donations in bitcoin, ether, USDT and Polkadot’s DOT tokens.
