As the president of GEN Ukraine, Maksym Zalevskyi discusses Web3 and community resilience in a featured interview highlighting how grassroots networks use decentralized technology during wartime.
Who is Maksym Zalevskyi?
- Role: Founder and President of GEN Ukraine, the Ukrainian branch of the Global Ecovillage Network.
- Network: Manages a grassroots network of over 60 ecovillages across Ukraine.
- Impact: Has helped shelter more than 3,000 displaced Ukrainians since 2022 while working to restore war-damaged local land and ecosystems.
How Web3 Supports GEN Ukraine
- Solar Energy: Partnered with platforms like Arkreen to power local off-grid solar energy systems.
- Tree Planting: Worked with Silvi to bypass traditional red tape by accepting geo-tagged photos of living trees to verify ecological recovery on-chain.
- Local Economies: Uses tools like Regen Network and Sarafu to support local economic development and tokenized grassroots systems.
Overcoming Bureaucracy
- Wartime Limits: Official national land registries are locked during wartime, which blocks standard Western climate-credit tools.
- Practical Adaptation: Zalevskyi emphasizes hacking traditional compliance models by using community-driven verification instead of waiting for government stamps or centralized permits.
