Today’s crowdfunding platforms (like GoFundMe) are centralized and often require extensive traditional KYC, which excludes many users without easy access to banking or government-issued documents. Additionally, donors have to trust a centralized entity to manage their funds, and there’s limited transparency on whether the campaign owner is truly who they claim to be. Helping Hands solves these problems by: -Integrating Humanity Protocol for trustless, on-chain identity verification (no storing personal data on a central server). Accepting USDC donations that are lent on Aave to generate additional yield for the fundraiser. Providing a fully decentralized experience—no single party can freeze funds or reject cross-border donations. This approach democratizes crowdfunding, enabling anyone with a Web3 wallet to start or donate to a fundraiser, no matter their location or banking status, while retaining trust through on-chain identity verification.
