These resources will help us engage local communities, drive adoption, and start initiatives to deliver blockchain-based financial services to communities underserved by traditional finance.\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ4L6WrvNeI\n\n\n## Our story\n\n\nimpactMarket started as a Universal Basic Income (UBI) protocol to support underserved communities in developing countries.\n\n\nUnlike other UBI projects, impactMarket is fully decentralized and community-owned. Both participants and owners can earn PACT tokens through various actions, giving them a voice in key decisions and a stake in the success of the project. This drove the adoption and retention of the protocol worldwide. We distributed over $3M to almost 50K beneficiaries from 25+ developing countries.\n\n\nRecently, we unlocked access to Microcredit to communities in Uganda, Nigeria, Brazil, and Ghana through our community finance product. We have disbursed almost $150K through 450 loans.\n\n\nFinancial inclusion has no impact without financial education. We help users understand how to make the best of web3 through a Learn-to-Earn program that rewards users for taking courses on financial education and crypto concepts. The incentivized system was massively successful, with over 40K lessons completed so far in 2023. We are partnering with Opera as the first and only dAPP included in its wallet, MiniPay, at launch which is attracting thousands of new users daily. \n\n\nIn the following months, the focus will be on educating more people through our financial education platform, releasing new content, and growing the beneficiaries of our community finance products. Additionally, since a large part of our communities are rural farmers that are heavily impacted by climate change, we are also building a product to deliver forest stewards a Conservation Basic Income. In other words, paying them unconditionally for the environmental services that their land generates by capturing CO2 from the atmosphere.\n\n\nWe are onboarding last-mile communities that have been underserved by both traditional finance and web3 solutions and keeping them engaged by delivering sticky value-added financial services. We\u2019ve proven that the model works and our approach is crucial to bringing the next billion users onto Web3.\n\n\n## Success metrics of ImpactMarket:\n\n\n* $3M USD distributed to almost 50K UBI beneficiaries from 25+ developing countries.\n* $150K USD distributed through 450 loans in Uganda, Nigeria, Brazil, and Ghana.\n* 40K+ lessons completed by the community to improve their financial education.\n\n\n## Problems that we are solving for financially underserved communities\n1. Lack of information and financial education.\n2. Lack of access to financial services.\n3. High financial frictions, high risk of defaults, and low margins to make microfinance accessible.\n\n\n## Our approach\n1. Financial education through Learn to Earn programs.\n2. Unconditional basic income.\n3. Microcredit through community finance, leveraging local knowledge and aligning incentives between lenders and communities.\n\n\n## Final comment\n\n\nThrough this Gitcoin grant, you can support the development of impactMarket\u2019s solutions, with a focus on amplifying our educational efforts to engage and empower underserved communities worldwide. This includes the creation of new courses and relevant content to be published in our Learn-to-Earn platform and other channels.\n\n\nWe appreciate your consideration and contribution, which fuel our vision to make a lasting impact through web3 community finance.\n\n\nYou can find more key info about the project here:\nhttps://docsend.com/view/yd2sn5cswshi9ii3", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "impactmarket"}, "recipient": "0xAC822E5677d2c4e676B6d255F80ac8010B290f56"}}
