Donation Address: ETH/USDT/USDC(e): 0xd8A1dA94BA7E6feCe8CfEacc1327f498fCcBFC0C Github Sponsor: https://github.com/sponsors/cagliostrolab/ Why do we use Cryptocurrency?: When we initially opened fundraising through Ko-fi and using PayPal as withdrawal methods, our PayPal account was flagged and eventually banned, despite our efforts to explain the purpose of our project. Unfortunately, this forced us to refund all donations and left us without a reliable way to receive support. To avoid such issues and ensure transparency, we have now switched to cryptocurrency as the way to raise the fund. Want to Donate in Non-Crypto Currency? Although we had a negative experience with PayPal, if you'd like to support us but prefer not to use cryptocurrency, feel free to reach out to us via our Discord Server for alternative donation methods or through GitHub Sponsors
