Why is Humancoin a breakthrough blockchain project?

Humancoin unites philanthropists and recipients of funds on a single P2P platform in the most convenient and transparent way possible.
The blockchain platform fuelled by the “mined” Humancoin token will breathe new life into the charity industry, proving an engine of growth.
While at the same time becoming a premier global loyalty program for an increasing number of partners in e-commerce.

Problem

Despite the rise of new mechanisms for donating, the charity industry still cannot overcome its main obstacle — a lack of trust. Donors, most of whom are private individuals, simply lack the means to verify whether their funds have reached the addressee in full and in the required timeframe, even if they transfer the money with the help of specialized organizations. According to various sources, about 20% (or more) of all donated funds end up being kept as administrative expenses by charity foundations.

Many are faced with the complexity of cross-border payments (when one wants to help a foreign recipient) and later, potential difficulties with regulatory bodies. In addition, donors are forced to spend a part of their well-intentioned contribution on covering the operational costs of the transaction.

Solution

The distributed ledger technology, which is designed to put an end to the middleman, gets rid of the long charity chain composed of banks, NGOs, state bodies and law firms. Blockchain provides a digital mechanism for recording and viewing any transaction. It is important that the record cannot be hacked or modified. Blockchain solves the trust issue by providing transparency, traceability and security.

Importantly, the new technology facilitates the development of direct financing platforms on a much larger scale. Philanthropists themselves can ultimately benefit from automated smart contracts as the recipients of grants will only be able to use their funds after meeting mandatory conditions.

All the many advantages that blockchain delivers will spur the growth of the charity industry. This new technology is already being studied by major market players such as UNICEF, the World Bank and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Over the past few years, a number of respected charitable organizations such as the Red Cross, Save the Children and United Way, among others, have already begun accepting donations in cryptocurrencies.

Summary: a possible synergy of markets

The global estimate of three fastgrowing markets — charity, e-commerce and cryptocurrencies — exceeds $3.5 trillion. By ensuring the necessary trust bet-ween donors and the aid recipients, blockchain technology can propel this industry to incredible new heights.

The rise of a charitable blockchain platform integrated into online commerce loyalty programs and cryptocurrencies will change the philanthropy industry forever. The symbiosis of e-commerce and cryptocurrencies will facilitate an increase in the number of donors. For those involved in online commerce, offering a bonus affiliated with charity is an effective way to position their brand on an emotional level with their clients, as well as being an important element in any PR-campaign. And, finally, the whole process is just very convenient for everyone involved.

The advantage of the blockchain solution is that the benefits of working with the platform are evident. All the data generated from the receipt and movement of the donations will be available to anyone who wishes, for example, to donate money towards the development of a new cancer drug, and to an airline that encourages such actions by awarding such a donor with promotional miles.

Humancoin token for token holders

Humancoin tokens purchased during the Token Sale have the value of a loyalty reward token; that is, they can be used to receive discounts from Humancoin partners or sold on cryptoexchanges.

Once the Token Sale ends, Humancoin tokens can be purchased on exchanges or received (mined) in proportion to any donation at twice the averageweighted exchange rate.

The platform's technological features allow it to be integrated with popular management systems for online stores, such as Shopify, Magento, WordPress, Ecwid etc.

Humancoin is not in direct competition with existing loyalty programs, but instead is intended for developing partnerships with them and acting as an aggregator across a collection of loyalty programs. The Humancoin token converts into points, miles, bonuses, coupons and tokens and is easily integrated into existing systems, without forcing businesses to reconfigure them — the only requirement is to set the conversion rate. As the number of partners and the scope of cooperation within the Humancoin Network grows, so does the popularity of the token.
