Ukraine is the glorious homeland of many crypto and their developers. For example, Bitfury, Hacken, and Propy originate in Ukraine. Most of the startups are located outside of Ukraine, however, our country is a robust base for the development of existing ones and the creation of new ones.

Even though most of these developers are now based abroad, the country is still a competitive jurisdiction for crypto startups.
