Arcadia is a software platform that enables NGOs and other aid organizations to offer P2P-based exchanges and marketplaces. These marketplaces are accessed via an identity-less wallet issued only to users that are verified and “known” to the NGO. They are linked to external networks of donors and 3rd party service providers via smart contracts. The platform is configurable and modular, supporting services as varied as crypto-to-fiat exchanges, P2P loans, donation tracking and subscriptions, and micro-insurance.
