Introduction

There are several fundraisers that do a lot of good for the society by channelising the resources. However, there aren't enough platforms which allow transactions in cryptocurrency or which allow cryptocurrency but provide assurances against scams. For the causes that people decide to support, they would want assurances that the entity collecting their donations is trustful.

If the entities seeking funds are verifiable by DID then it assures the supporting community of the identity of those who collect the funds.

We believe that by developing a fundraiser platform and integrating with Atala PRISM, we can enable a niche platform in the cryptocurrency domain.

Solution

• A web-based platform where entities can sign up and run fundraiser campaigns. Entities need not have DID at the time sign up but need to obtain one before conducting activities on the platform.
• Community members can discover running campaigns and donate to the causes they like.
• Payments from donors enabled through smart contracts.
