Here Is Internet Computer Founder's Proposal to 'Hasten the End' of Ukraine War

Dominic Williams, the founder of Internet Computer (ICP) and the non-profit organization dedicated to building and promoting it, DFINITY, has a plan to help end the war in Ukraine.

Pointing out that Russia is in full control of all the media running in its jurisdiction, which distribute "carefully-crafted propaganda and false information," Williams proposed the crypto community use the power of blockchain and smart contracts to counter this authoritarianism.

He noted that one way to help end the aggression against Ukraine is by convincing the Russian people that the war -- as opposed to what the Russian leader calls "a humanitarian mission to protect people in Ukraine from genocide" -- is a crime against humanity.

This will, in turn, spur the people to pressure the government to stop the invasion.

"This will remain so if he continues to control the flow of information to his population, allowing him to make the perversely false claim that the war is a humanitarian mission to protect people in Ukraine from genocide."

In order to persuade the Russian population, we need to find ways of directly communicating with them, Williams said, arguing that people living in Russia are "largely completely ignorant" of what is really going on in Ukraine.

"I now propose a way that blockchain and smart contracts can potentially help further, by getting millions of Russians to watch an entire informational video(s) about the war," he said.

All that is needed to execute the plan is Internet Computer, a public blockchain that hosts smart contracts that run at web speed, and USD 250m in bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH). 

However, the scheme could be
