With 0% processing fees on CoinGate, your cryptocurrency donations now turn into real-world aid, standing firm with Ukraine during its challenging times. 

That’s how we strive to bridge the gap between the digital realm and the tangible needs of those defending their homeland.

What is Blue / Yellow?

Blue / Yellow sprang into action in 2014, with the aim of backing the valiant soldiers and volunteers of Ukraine amidst their enduring confrontation with Russian forces. 

Every donation they receive turns into vital gear like drones, helmets, and vehicles, ensuring these brave hearts are well-equipped to safeguard their homeland. 

The initiative has resonated globally, accumulating a staggering 50 million Euros by 2023 from kind-hearted individuals worldwide who stand in solidarity with Ukraine​.

Why Accept Crypto Donations in the First Place?

The rise of cryptocurrency isn’t just a financial wave; it’s a new avenue for expressing or getting support on a global scale and without friction. Blue / Yellow’s decision to embrace crypto donations stemmed from a desire to make giving to Ukraine convenient for everyone. 

As Karolis Žukauskas, Communications Manager at Blue / Yellow, shared, “We want to make donating to Ukraine as convenient as possible… Naturally, as the popularity and use of cryptocurrencies grew, we created an opportunity for Blue / Yellow supporters to donate in this way as well.”

The choice of CoinGate for this initiative was driven by its flexibility and responsiveness, along with the ease of cooperation given our Lithuanian roots. Karolis appreciates the CoinGate team, stating, “I liked the flexibility, responsiveness to questions, besides, it’s a product created by Lithuanians, so it also facilitates cooperation.”

Donations can be sent in Bitcoin (+Lightning Network) and 70+ cryptocurrencies, or by using a Binance Pay app and its balance. 

The Beginnings of Digital UA Soldiers

Just recently, Blue / Yellow introduced an interactive map called “Digital UA Soldiers.”

The inception of the Digital UA Soldiers project was a creative response to the declining rate of donations, a natural occurrence as the war in Ukraine protracted.

As Karolis mentioned, “…people are getting used to it, so the rate of donations is decreasing…The Digital UA Soldiers project adds game elements to fundraising, as well as creating virtual incentives for donors – everyone can have their own named virtual soldier on the map of Ukraine. And this support turns into real things for Ukrainian soldiers.”

This innovative approach rejuvenated the donation landscape, making the act of giving a more interactive and personalized experience. It helped to rekindle the spirit of support, reminding people of the ongoing need to stand with Ukraine, merging digital engagement with real-world impact.

Accepting Crypto Donations Is A Game Changer

Embracing cryptocurrency donations is a leap towards modern, efficient, and inclusive humanitarian aid. It’s an open invitation to a global donor base, breaking down the traditional barriers often associated with financial contributions. 

CoinGate makes this transition smooth and trustworthy, ensuring every crypto donation to Blue / Yellow is straightforward and impactful.
