Program Real Time Data
We are sharing the live results of our randomized controlled trial that compares the benefits of giving cash and crypto.
How It Works
We distribute your cryptocurrency to impact communities and help drive the real-world utility of crypto.
Step 1
Donate Crypto
Put your crypto to work to benefit the world.
Step 2
We Distribute It
We make direct cash transfers to those in need.
Step 3
Empower People
People use the funds in their local economy.
Our mission is to financially empower people by distributing cryptocurrency globally.
Two billion people have smartphones, but don't have access to basic financial services.
We give cryptocurrency to people to help connect them to an open financial system.
Recipients can:
- Cash out crypto to their local currency
- Buy goods and services they need
- Transact in crypto or hold it long term
