Crypto Movement in India for Covid19

In lieu of Covid19 and the upsurge in the number of cases in India, the crypto community came together to support the cause. On April 24th, Polygon (Matic) co-founder, Sandeep Nailwal, came forward and started a COVID relief campaign, where he urged assistance from the global crypto community. He ensured fund transparency and regulatory compliance.

Can't take this sitting down anymore, I am going to run a Covid relief campaign in lieu of what’s going on in India.

I will take full responsibility for transparency, funds usage and regulatory compliance
