PoignART

PoignART (derived from poignard meaning “thin, sharp dagger”) is a platform for the world artists to cut with the emotion of their NFTs right into the hearts of a global audience, and create total compassion for the suffering of Ukrainians under Russian invasion. PoignART will automatically donate all proceeds to help Ukrainians via Unchain Fund. Thus, PoignART will amplify the very thing that Russia fears: freedom, expression and the right to self-determination via art. PoignART is a platform where both artists and collectors can be certain that any funds raised from their minted NFTs will be donated to help the Ukrainian people. We at PoignART are united around one strategic goal: help Ukrainian people defend the freedom and sovereignty of their country and shield the entire world from an aggressor in the face of Putin and Russian troops. Among numerous communities seeking to help Ukrainian people, uprising digital artists are not always in the position to launch their own NFT minting and sale mechanism with an established verified way to donate the proceeds. The PoignART team’s focus is to become the bridge between NFT artists, donors and donees. Our goal is for our tools to empower every artist with the ability to turn their digital art into NFTs and sell them for fundraising goals we stand for in the fastest most efficient way possible. Our team is a group of volunteers in the Web3 world including leaders from ETHDenver, Berkeley Blockchain Xcelerator, RaidGuild, Opolis, Cryptokitties, Cipher Media, MetaGame, Unchain, Gitcoin, KERNEL, LexDAO, and more! The team rose up from a variety of countries, cultures, political views, and demographics. The core crew resides in the United States, England, and India. The rest of the team are spread to all corners of this earth, but we all stand and share the same values!
