UkraineDAO was created by Trippy Labs, a non-fungible
token (NFT) studio and Pussy Riot, a Russian feminist punk rock band. Its
largest single donation came from a $6.5 million crowdfunded NFT sale on March
2, to which OnlyFans contributed 500 ETH.

When OnlyFans made the 500ETH donation, the DAO was stuck
at around half of the 1,000 ETH reserve amount. The OnlyFans donation pushed
the amount over the top and more donations started to come in, a representative
