SCF #34

Products & Services

human.tech presents a comprehensive, multi-phase vision for transforming aid distribution and financial access on Stellar.

Phase I: Personhood Proofs for Aid Distribution Human ID and Human Passport system will enable the 1 billion people without official identification to create verifiable digital identities on Stellar. This system integrates directly with Stellar's payment operations and compliance features, allowing aid organizations to distribute funds to verified recipients while maintaining complete privacy. Our Sybil-resistant protocols ensure each recipient is unique, addressing the 30-40+% inefficiency in current aid distribution systems. Stellar's low-cost, high-speed transactions are essential for making this system viable at scale.

Phase II: Onboarding with Human Keys Building on our Refunite partnership (connecting 100,000 community leaders representing over 100M people across Africa), we'll develop streamlined onboarding systems using Human Keys to bring large populations onto Stellar. This phase will leverage Stellar's accessible infrastructure to create financial inclusion pathways for previously underserved communities.

Phase III: Human Wallet for Stellar (Future Vision) The final phase will deliver a user-friendly wallet utilizing Human Keys for intuitive authentication while ensuring users maintain full control over their Stellar assets with easy recovery options. This will provide seamless access to Stellar's decentralized exchange and cross-border capabilities.

Success Criteria

Short-term outputs:

  • 3+ aid distribution programs implemented on Stellar using human.tech

  • Human Passport support on Stellar

  • Human Wallet and Human ID support on Stellar

  • Average verification time under 5 minutes per recipient

Long-term impact:

  • Creation of verifiable digital identities for populations lacking official identification

  • Simplified access to finance on Stellar via the Human Wallet

  • Reduction in aid distribution fraud through proof of personhood 

  • Increased trust in aid systems through transparent verification and distribution

  • Foundation for broader financial inclusion beyond immediate aid distribution

The ultimate measure of our success will be making Stellar the preferred infrastructure for humanitarian aid delivery globally while supporting Stellar's mission of creating equitable access to the global financial system for underserved populations.

Go-To-Market Plan
  1. Initial Aid Organization Partnerships: We will work with 3-5 humanitarian organizations already using or considering Stellar for aid distribution, providing implementation support and technical assistance to create compelling case studies.

  2. Refunite Network Activation: We'll leverage our existing Refunite partnership to engage their network of 100,000 community leaders for early testing and feedback, creating a pathway to Phase II.

  3. Stellar Community Integration: We'll actively engage with the Stellar developer community and ecosystem partners to create awareness of our infrastructure and encourage integration.

Traction Evidence
  • Human Passport: 2M+ users and protection of over $380M in airdrop and grant funds

  • Refunite Partnership: Collaboration with the world's largest missing persons platform for refugees, supporting a network of 100,000 community leaders representing 100,000,000 community members across Africa

  • Partnership Success: 138 total campaigns, 113 partners, 7 networks deployed
