Mayotte is facing a major humanitarian crisis following the devastating impact of Cyclone Chido. As infrastructure lies in ruins and families are left destitute, a crypto initiative is offering unprecedented hope.
“The goal of this article is clear: to rally all crypto communities, regardless of their blockchain, to maximize the impact of this solidarity fund.”
An Island Devastated by Chido: A Dire Humanitarian Emergency
With violent winds and torrential rains, Cyclone Chido struck Mayotte with unprecedented intensity. The material damage is enormous: destroyed homes, power outages, and compromised access to clean water. Even worse, hundreds of families are left homeless, facing a critical situation that demands immediate assistance.
Initial mobilizations have emerged, especially through social media, where crowdfunding campaigns and calls for aid are being widely shared. Yet, the scale of the needs far exceeds the resources available so far.
A Crypto Initiative Led by MultiversX
In response to this crisis, Pierre Gasnier, a committed figure in the crypto ecosystem, launched a crowdfunding campaign to channel financial aid through cryptocurrencies.
However, as of this writing, only the MultiversX blockchain has received significant donations.
This can likely be explained by Gasnier’s key role within this ecosystem. As an active member of the MultiversX community, his call for help naturally resonated with his peers. However, the initiative has yet to reach users of other major blockchains like Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, or Solana.
Why Users of Other Blockchains Should Get Involved
The mobilization on MultiversX is exemplary, but users of Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Solana, and other networks can multiply the effectiveness of this initiative. Why? Because the strength of crypto lies in its ability to bring people together beyond technical or ideological boundaries.
By contributing through these other blockchains, users can:
- Increase the impact of donations: Every additional transaction strengthens the resources available for aid on the ground.
- Set an example of inter-ecosystem solidarity: Chido didn’t choose a blockchain to devastate Mayotte. It makes sense for all communities to unite.
- Boost visibility for the cause: Each donor becomes a potential advocate to draw attention to this emergency.

A Crypto Mobilization Beyond Borders
Cyclone Chido reminds us that crypto is more than just a financial tool—it’s a community capable of acting during critical moments. MultiversX users have set an example, but now it’s time for all blockchains to join forces.
Because beyond transactions, it’s lives that can be saved through this mobilization. Spread the word and contribute, because every donation, every share, can change the fate of a population in distress. Mayotte is counting on us.
