the judges decided the winning project to be unCHAINed. unCHAINed is a Digital
Identity and Resource Allocation System (DIRAS) please Trevor Campbell and
Todd Schultz come up and tell us about your solution congratulation
hi everyone so we are team unCHAINed and we were working in the refugees
challenge so if you look here on the screen
here's a very big problem the refugee crisis as of today there are 65 million
people who have been forcibly displaced from their homes it's an enormous
problem and we have many government organizations governments and nonprofits
working on this problem but unfortunately there's still so much left
to be done so here's the problem there's more than 65 million people who have
been forcibly displaced and the reason for this is either due to conflict
climate change or some kind of other challenges that present hardships for
people and most of these refugees lack money they lack identification and they
don't have a means to prove their identity and they can't get access to
services to help and to humanitarian aid and unfortunately a lot of these
resources have been insufficient and have been poorly distributed so efforts
for humanitarian aid organizations have been falling short because their goal is
to get people assistance and to get them in camps and provide assistance and help
them uplift themselves into better situations but they can't do that so
here's another problem outside of just refugees the World Bank estimates that
more than a billion people today we learned it's 1.7 billion people are
unbanked and they don't have the proper identification documents to prove their
identity they can't get bank accounts they can't get loans they can't get
access to services and without proper documentation this effectively locks
these people out of the global economy and this is a huge problem 1.7 billion
people that's enormous and so by creating a global distributed identity
system we can enter these people into the global economy and help them get
access to aid services and resources that can uplift them out of their
situations so how do we fix this so we're gonna be talking about the
solution we came up with which we call the unCHAINed DIRAS stands for
Digital Identity and Resource Allocation System (DIRAS) so the key idea
underpinning this whole model is to combine digital identities and ERC-20
token wallet to be able to link in a refugee or displaced persons personal
identification to a monetary fund that is independent of any country nation or
border so the way we're doing that is implementing these brand new Ethereum
standards proposed by a Fabian Vogelsteller co-author of the ERC-20 token
contract which helped define how we can identify individual actors in a system
and how those individual actors can make claims on each other's identities so how
would we go about implementing this technology this big change so the first
thing we would have to do is we would have to identify certain partners
international aid organizations that would be willing to pilot or try this
technology these organizations would be allotted a single 725 contract
deployed onto the Etheruem network that would serve as their identity from this
contract they can place claims on refugees they wish to accept into their
network and upon making this initial claim refugees identity is federated and
tokens are distributed to them and as time goes along this workflow is
continuously validated through peer-to-peer transactions and periodic
deposits of funds into refugee token wallets our MVP is made up of combining
like I said earlier the 725 and 735 implementations our already deployed
ERC-20 token test transactions an identity mapper to match these 725 organizations
to the refugees within their network a mobile interface and biometric
authentication so now we come to the important part why does this all matter
so this is a 2 part benefit it benefits both the organizations that
serve refugees and refugees themselves so some of the benefits that our system
has for aid organization is that it uncovers data that was previously
unavailable so we can get a lot of transactional data and information as to
what our refugees needs what are they spending their resources on what do they
need more of and where are all these resources going where are people going
and so using the system aid organization can make their processes more efficient
more cost-effective and see better impact
from their investments and from their missions and so along with this we
also get a lot of increased transparency from the humanitarian aid system so we
can see exactly where resources are going how they're being spent and that
provides a lot of benefits for the donors and patrons of these
organizations so one of the important parts too is that transactions and
identities are validated continuously so in doing this we can analyze
transactions look at spending behaviors patterns and figure out where resources
are needed what resources might be more effectively spent elsewhere and we can
also analyze transaction and find bad actors in the refugee system so right
now it's very difficult to find people that are abusing the system and this
provides insight we can use data analytics and find abnormal spending
patterns abnormal behaviors and we may be able to penalize these people and
refuse them aid if they are abusing the system and so along with the data
analytics were able to provide insights to aid organizations so that they can
better allocate their resources which in turns increases efficiency and all that
so then we come into benefits for refugees so most of these people don't
have identities and this is a huge problem because it locks them out of the
global economy so in order to help them segue into the global economy and get
bank accounts apply for citizenship asylum and start working their way
towards rebuilding their life by continuously using the system and
transacting they can build a robust profile of their identity so each time
they make a transaction each party can affirm the identity of the other and in
doing so we can build a robust transactional history and identity for
this person and since stateless people don't have a government they don't have
an organization to depend on to build this identity for them we can do that we
can step in fill that void and help get these people entered into the global
economy and build identities for them to enter make bank accounts things like
that
not done yet there's more so one of the also really important aspects of this is
that it enables peer-to-peer transaction between refugees and service providers
that they transact with so right now people are that are in camps or in
cities they can't transact with one another and so a lot of times they spend
their time doing not much of anything and so we want them to be productive we
want them to start businesses we want them to transact with one another and
this can enable that by giving a secure way to access their funds and lay claim
to assets money things like that and so in order to you know get this
system off the ground we definitely have plans to collaborate with the UNHCR the
World Food Program they operate large Cash assistance programs right now we
just learned today that the World Food Program spends 1.4 billion dollars
probably going to be closer to 2 billion dollars per year and so in doing this we
can reduce a transactional cost and eliminate the need for banks and their
business networks which benefits them greatly to saves them a lot of money all
right so before we get done here I'm gonna talk a little bit about the
technical architecture that's making this all possible this application is a
full stack fully distributed application not hosted on any one server not
controlled by any one party and we accomplished that through deploying
Ethereum smart contracts to capture the logic of our application and using a
swarm distributed API storage to store the data and all the data points that we
need to keep on the Ethereum chain natively eventually we will be working
towards creating a react mobile front-end to allow for a mobile
application that can be used anywhere in the world I want to talk to you a bit
about me and Trevor who are here and then the four team members who couldn't
make it here Sam is on vacation somewhere in Europe Urja and Guri they
both live in India and could not quite make it to Washington DC on two days
notice and Madhu who just started a new job and he couldn't come either but
everyone you see in this screen had a lot of roles to play in this and really
really drove the development of what I think is a really amazing technology
thank you guys for listening and I really appreciate your time
