Can crypto solve real-world problems? When banks closed and ATMs ran out of cash at the start of the Ukrainian conflict, the quickest and cheapest way to send humanitarian aid was via crypto wallets.

In this episode of Polyweb, we explore the real-world impact of crypto with Rev Miller, Co-Founder of Atlantis World and Unchain - a Web3 native fund initiated by Rev and other Web3 builders to help Ukraine.

Rev and the volunteers and donors behind Unchain were able to organize help before any other humanitarian fund was up and running, highlighting the potential for crypto to solve real problems.

Rev is a serial entrepreneur with over 9 years of experience building and growing media, FinTech, 3D / XR, and Web3 networks. He’s leading growth at Atlantis World, contributing to Gitcoin (KERNEL), and overseeing the public goods impact at Unchain.

Rev shares insights on how crypto can be used to finance public goods, create economic freedom, and manage a Web3 nonprofit. We also discuss the opportunities and challenges of setting up a Metaverse.
