October 1, 2024: Web3 Tales Conference
I've presented the latest use cases of decentralized technology for social good, including our pilot project in El Salvador developed in collaboration with Truhoma . This initiative focused on transparency and traceability, using blockchain to track and report donations while empowering unbanked families with cashless purchasing power to meet their daily needs (NAKA Card). The audience showed strong interest, recognizing the potential impact of providing essential resources and improving financial well-being through innovative technology. The next step is launching the test pilot project for 10-20 vetted recipients on the Truhoma platform, where it will be open for donations.
