ALMBank is a work/marketplace platform which creates new forms of employment and charitable culture within the crypto-community.

WHAT DO WE DO?
We employ people by finding them meaningful jobs! We offer freelancers a place to showcase their skillsets for no cost. We help ICO’s build high level and functional teams. These services fund our charitable marketplace, a first of its kind in the world.

ALMBank is breaking the mold between profit & non-profit to create a business that pays people to create a self-funding charitable economy. We’re developing meaning and sustainability for the crypto community, along with building a one-stop shop for anyone looking to hire within crypto.

SERVICES WILL INCLUDE:
A cutting edge job marketplace for cryptopians–think Upwork meets LinkedIn but with less fees. It is a barter system with instant transactions. Our tokens are easily redeemable for hours worked. Pay in crypto, for any work you need done and there is no longer any need to convert to cash or hide from freelancer platform fees.
ALMBank presents the most viable way to hire the industry’s best for your new idea, ICO or concept. People can be hired for reasonable, one-time fees and be working the same day. Our platform will have immense depth for working crypto professionals.
We provide the ability to work on user-submitted charitable projects that are paid for by our for-profit, self-funding charitable system.
We create ways for crypto communities to build big dream projects, through community up-voting. This voting ensures that solid projects rise to the top because only working members can vote.
For long-term visions, we will have a member- supported dream project list, where our charity fund can support one big dream project per year.

BitDegree has developed a global blockchain credentialing system that can be used by online & traditional education institutions. Moreover, the system allows for transfer of economic value tied to educational achievements. In response to the Prize, BitDegree has developed BitDegree Scholarships. It is an open-source autonomous global credentials and scholarships solution that learners, educational institutions / charities and donors can use today.

BitDegree Scholarships Showcase was launched on the BitDegree Platform (570k learners) in August 2019 and has already received significant interest. Learners can request micro-scholarships tied to courses on the BitDegree Platform and get it once they complete learning as proven by a blockchain certificate. Education donors can choose to sponsor individual learners with a micro-scholarship and know for sure that the learning has happened as the funds will leave the smart-contract only once the blockchain certificate was issued. This Showcase completely eliminates intermediaries from the education donations and allows for Peer-2-Peer donations with full transparency and traceability.

The autonomous nature of the solution enables micro-scholarships to become the catalyst for education donations and online learning, similarly to how micro-financing was to financial inclusion. Moreover, the Showcase is focusing on reskilling and up-skilling into digital careers, which is an enormous need and an opportunity globally, especially in the context of inclusion of the disadvantaged populations. The European labour-force also needs to transform itself to remain competitive in the Digital Age and it must do in a way that does no leave out the most vulnerable ones, such as refugees.

The Prize is encouraging BitDegree to innovate beyond what investors are comfortable with and, if won, will be used for further Scholarships solution development beyond the state-of-the-art and global scaling of it. Lastly, the Prize would give awareness and credibility to the solution for it to be adopted by the masses.

It is a digital identity blockchain application being used to replace an existing paper-based system to register children for a government funded pre-school subsidy in South Africa. Service providers use the mobile app to verify children’s attendance at classes and to capture other useful information. This will increase trust in the funding mechanism and make funding available to more children who need it. It will save administration time and costs..

The Cape Town organization, which is running a pilot with South African preschoolers, creates immutable digital identities to help children in Africa receive educational services and subsidies.

Project Amply strives to revolutionize early childhood development in Africa. Combining mobile and blockchain technology to increase impact and accountability of public services and generate real-time data.

OUR MISSION
Amply is a digital identity protocol that builds trust. We provide every child with their own self-sovereign digital identity based on the blockchain. This will enable children to receive benefits and services that they might have previously been excluded from.

In our pilot project, Amply is being used to replace an existing paper-based system to register children for a government funded pre-school subsidy in South Africa. Service providers use a mobile app to verify children’s attendance at classes and to capture other useful information. This will increase trust in the funding mechanism and make funding available to more children who need it. It will save administration time and costs. And it will provide really useful information about how and where services are being delivered.

Amply is unique in that it places each individual child at the centre of their relationships with Early Childhood Development services in a way that is ‘self-sovereign’ and directly beneficial to them. This means that a child’s digital identity and personal data are privately owned and controlled by the individual (with some help from their guardians). Over time, their life records become a rich source of data and value that can be used to receive services and insights that will become more predictive, precise, personalised, preventive, and participatory.

With consented access to personal data and identity assurance, entirely new classes of innovative applications can be developed for both local physical and distant virtual services. This is a big deal for growing a web of trust around children, to meet their developmental needs.

We use digital identities to
– gather real-time data and link it to sovereign identities
– increase efficiency and quality of public services for children
– create accountable blockchain based subsidies management platforms
