Review: Blockchain for Social Impact Conference (Washington, DC)
Specialists and organizations building solutions with key stakeholders, end beneficiaries, and governments share insights on making a difference in the world around them.
The Giving Block (TGB) attended the Blockchain for Social Impact Conference in Washington DC, where sessions ranged from discussions on decentralized labor forces to tracking systems for minerals in conflict zones. We left feeling more optimistic than ever about the myriad of ways that blockchain can be leveraged to elevate social impact. Among the opportunities we identified were the following:
Health and Wellness
Tokenized rewards for physical activity and fitness (See Run2Play)
Environmental
Hackathons for DLT solutions to drive down carbon emissions
Blockchain tracking and verification of sustainability efforts
Nonprofit Transparency
Smart contract reporting on goals which allow nonprofits to get paid more after proving that a goal has been accomplished
Tokenized nonprofit spending to show donors you put your money where your mouth is – literally.
Development Aid
Transfer food and money to vulnerable populations through blockchain
Blockchain solutions for good governance and social outcomes in developing countries
