Onchain Humanitarian Aid, Real Impact 🌍 After Myanmar’s May 7.7 magnitude earthquake, Coala Pay + Myanmar Trust UK launched a fully onchain emergency aid campaign - working to overcome blocked or unsafe legacy channels to deliver funds to trusted local responders. Then the Farcaster community stepped up. Huge thanks to @dwr.eth & @0xstark.eth for connecting and amplifying, and to @horsefacts.eth & @daimo-pay for powering the Give miniapp - enabling hundreds of direct donations, including from many of you here 💜 📦 The results: ✅ 16 vetted local projects funded ✅ 10,665 people reached ✅ $39,739 delivered ✅ 105% more local currency than legacy aid rails 🧵 Follow for how it worked. 🔗 quake.myanmarblockchainrelief.org

Why Blockchain Rails? ⚙️⚡️ Traditional aid systems often rely on legacy cross border transfers, costly intermediaries, and weeks of delay. With blockchain rails, we delivered faster, cheaper, and more transparently: ⏱️ 99.9% faster than legacy systems 💸 82.6% cheaper in processing + compliance 📈 Result: 105% more value to field partners

Farcaster’s Role in the Mission 📲 The campaign was already live. But Farcaster helped scale it. @horsefacts.eth built the Give miniapp powered by @daimo-pay - making cross-chain giving possible right inside Warpcast. Most donations came from individual givers, especially on @base, powered by Warpcast-native UX. Big gratitude to @dwr.eth + @0xstark.eth + @linda for connecting, amplifying, and building the bridge to this movement. https://warpcast.com/miniapps/jllYXMk75lHo/give

Proof of Funding, Onchain 🧾🎯 Each funded project on Coala Pay generated a proof-of-funding NFT - a transparent, permanent receipt of delivery. This isn’t just symbolic - it’s a traceable record of humanitarian aid onchain. Auditable by donors. Visible to communities. 🔍 Explore them all: quake.myanmarblockchainrelief.org
