Budapest Memorandum — Reforge Trust On-Chain
We divide the map of Ukraine into 9,400 grid tiles (in reference to the year 1994, when the Budapest Memorandum was signed). The public can claim and light up each tile for €10 per tile. Every light-up generates a unique-numbered digital certificate. When all tiles are lit, individual lights together form a complete map of Ukraine. This is both a donation and a verifiable public record: It allows people around the world to light up the same map, to aim at the same goal, to connect individual action with a shared public narrative, so that every act of trust is linked and illuminates the others.
Sign up using your email or social login. So we can send your digital certificate to you. So you can view and verify your donation records at any time.
