Foodie Culture Coming to the BlockchainIn this article I review the ‘Hungry Ghost Social Club’, a project built around connecting foodies through the NFT space. If you like web3 and good food, keep reading…Whilst sitting in a Twitter Space a while back, I was browsing through the profiles of some of the speakers. This is something I have found myself doing plenty as of late (I’m even listening to one as I write this). But in this particular space that I was listening to, I was reading into on...

This is one for you…Finally, a project that I learned about outside of a twitter space. I’ve always fancied myself as the type to create something of my own, so when I heard of opportunities to align myself with the entrepreneurial crowd, I took them.

Ever wondered how blockchain can be used to better the world? Perhaps you love NFTs and want to give back. This is the project for you.
If you haven’t heard about it yet, the inaugural NFT Brisvegas event just went down a few days ago. One of the projects that really blew me away to hear about was an app utilising the blockchain to make international charity simple and transparent to everyday users. If there’s one project I’d pick to try to sell web3 as a force for good, it’d probably have to be ‘Charity Token’.
Charity Token was founded by Chris Manski, a retired veteran who turned his attention to giving back. The project is built around giving a platform to the many different charities around the world, and giving everyday people a way to give directly to the charities that they feel most passionately about.
The integration of blockchain technology within the app has been coordinated quite ingeniously. While tokenomics aren’t something that I’d normally address, it is worth mentioning that the ChaT token is designed to take some of the platform fees and spread it evenly amongst all listed charities, which gives smaller organisations an opportunity to thrive. In addition to this, the use of smart contracts and the blockchain’s public ledger force the project to stay true to its promises and direct funds straight to the charities, which is a great boost of confidence to those who may be worried about their money being misdirected.
The platform also gives consideration to crypto-natives and crypto-noobs alike, building in a way that allows everyone to contribute despite what background they may have. Users will be given the option to register through more traditional, web2 means as well as the option to continue with their MetaMask wallet. Those who register directly with the app will have the option to pay by card and will be sent a tax receipt for their donation. Those who proceed with their crypto wallet will have the chance to engage directly with charitable NFT projects that take a home on the platform. Regardless of what type of user you are, you can expect the donation process to be right up your alley.
Overall, this project is a noble endeavour that really utilises the blockchain for a great cause. It’s a great sign for how the web3 space will be utilised going forward. If this is a project you’d like to get behind, you can jump on in and check out their website.
