Celo Mobile Connect Hackathon - Stablecoin (In-Person)

Challenge Description

Celo is a blockchain project built for normal people. We want to make financial technology accessible and we believe that can be done by introducing people new to the space to our algorithmic stablecoins cUSD, cEUR, cREAL.

This bounty is focused on the best project using a stablecoin as a core part of their project.

Submission Requirements

• Submissions must interact with, allow transacting with, and have a stablecoin component to their project and demonstrated in their application.

The winning project will interact with at least one Celo stablecoin (cUSD, cEUR, cREAL).

Be sure to submit your CELO address with your submission.

We aim to build an historically stable stablecoin, a coin that revalues same amount as expected inflation (correcting deviations dinamically). So if one SSC is one dollar today and the dollar has 3 percent of inflation next year, one SSC will be 1.03 dollars next year. The stabilization method will be exactly the same as described in Celo whitepaper, but instead of comparing the value of this coin to the base coin it will compared to (base coin + inflation accumulated)

It’s been six years since the world has embraced the sustainable development goals of the United Nations. Via diverse SDGs they create awareness and support thematic issues such as poverty, technology, and science. Unfortunately, there are still many challenges and problems that are being faced.

Thankfully because of charity organizations we have communities that provide a better environment and solve problems in our society and more important do research. Through love motivation and opportunities, they help people thrive and become self-sufficient. Donations are strongly needed to support these charities. As a team we want to do something for the world, especially for SDG 3 and 5. This is the reason why did research to understand how we can help. Based on our research, for example with Yvette Rafael from APHA South Africa, we found out several difficulties for charity organizations:

1. The process of donations is not always transparent for donators
2. Charities have to invest in a payment infrastructure
3. Donation processes create a lot of administration
4. Engaging donators with charity events, like auctions, is difficult and expensive

With our team of enthusiastic people with knowledge and passion for helping our society, solving problems, FinTech and Digital art, we created the NFT marketplace DemeterGift- donation events as a service

DemeterGift uses the power of the Celo wallet with stablecoins to create the most easy, transparent and fun NFT auction on Web3. We do this to help charities collecting money from donators and to raise additional support.

SIO Registery lets you donate to your favorite causes more easily! 🍃 and much more...

On the platorm anyone is able to submit the information of the social impact organization of their choice, so anyone can come and create valuable impact 💸 It can be either an existing one such as WWF for the animals or Earthjustice for the environment, but you can also create a new one for different reasons. For example, you live in Barcelona and want to help the homeless people ? No problem, come to Social Impact Index, fill in the informations, collect money for the cause, and help the people around you ! 😊

But what if you want to help an entire cause, like the climate protection ?¿ Well, we've thought about it and implemented the possibility to create Indexes! On Social Impact Index you can create new Indexes, regrouping different associations, where you can choose the distribution of the funds. So when someone donate to a Index the money is automatically spread to different organizations!!!

Isn't it amazing ? 😁

Once the organization or indexes are available, anyone can come and start donating cryptos for a good cause !! :)
