A Sharp Spike in Gas Fee on Ethereum; is Russia-Ukraine Conflict To be Blamed
The international community has been mobilizing resources and sending funds to various organizations supporting Ukraine’s army. A self-described “Web3 initiative” – RELI3F UKR – has been selling NFTs with the promise that all proceeds from primary sales will go towards relief efforts in Ukraine, along with some secondary sales proceeds. According to OpenSea, the floor price was about 0.053 ETH, and the trading volume was about 456 ETH recently.
However, like with many popular NFT projects, the frenzy of interest triggered an astronomical rise in gas prices. On 26 February, the median gas price shot past 1,300 gwei before dropping back down to below 100 gwei.
For its part, RELI3F appeared to pat itself on the back and tweeted:
“And we are sold out. 0.05 eth x 37 artists x 200 editions = 370 eth. Over a million dollars raised for the people of Ukraine in 30 seconds. This is the power of web3. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.”
While impressive, many donators were disappointed by the money they lost on gas fees, claiming the funds could have gone to the Ukrainian people instead.
Crypto donations have been a popular option for those who want to financially support Ukrainian relief groups or the military. One estimate reported that more than $4 million had been sent in Bitcoin donations to the army. Critics of NFT-based fundraising have lamented the loss of donations through extravagant gas fees.
The World Wildlife Fund’s recent foray into the NFT industry with its “tokens for nature” collection minted on the Polygon blockchain also received global backlash due to environmental concerns.
Ethereum Price Is Expected To Reach These Levels
