The virtual currency bitcoin is one of the best known at the public level and one of the most popular in financial operations.But now, Ethereum is the fashion cryptocurrency and already beats the copies that emerged from Bitcoin in its day.
One of the advantages of Ethereum is that it is more than a cryptocurrency, because it wants to become a blockchain or blockchain-based computing platform, a large virtual accounting book that is built by blocks that then join.
Now the Ethereum blockchain could also become an effective tool to fight hunger and help refugees.For the moment it has already been the protagonist of the first transfer of this nature for humanitarian purposes, according to has published Hypertextual.
UN uses ethereum for humanitarian aid
The United Nations Organization (UN) has recently used the Ethereum blockchain to send humanitarian aid to more than 10,000 Syrian refugees. Through this operation, the United Nations World Food Program United (WFP) launched a transfer of resources to thousands of Syrian refugees, giving them “cryptocurrency-based” vouchers that could be exchanged in the markets participating in the project.
Specifically, the Ethereum transfer registration platform for almost 100,000 people through a system driven by the startup Parity Techonologies, launched by Ethereum's own blockchain promoter, Gavin Woods.
The program has been completely unexplored and the funds reached Syrian refugees without inconvenience, which is why the UN World Food Program wants to launch another financing operation through the blockchain of Ethereum for 100,000 people from Jordan in August.
In addition, the United Nations wants to extend this system to help all refugees in this country. In short, the UN will give prominence to this new way of humanitarian aid through the Ethereum cryptocurrency.
