Description
The Giving Chain is a Social Impact project created by the Hyperledger Princeton Meetup. The Purpose of the project is to decentralize local charity giving by creating the Giving Chain and the R2D application. The application will use participants cell phones to create an asset to be donated. The R2D (Recipient to Donor) then notifies the participant in the giving chain that an asset has been created and ready to be donated. The asset is then track till it is received by someone with need. This donation system lets donors track donation as well as creating a dignified way in which people can receive assistance.
Additional Information
The project made it to a proof of concept using the fish example in the sawtooth documentation. It received an honorable mention at the Big Apps Blockchain challenge 2020, and won the GBA 2020 Social Impact Award 2020 . www.thegivingchain.org www.bcprinceton.com
