Foresight

At the ixo Foundation, we are optimizing the way the world creates impact by combining data with trust. We have created the ixo protocol, technology that harnesses blockchain and next generation web standards, to collect and validate high quality data and create “proof of impact.” Proof is generated when an impact claim is made by a service provider and is verified by an evaluator or an oracle, validating the impact has been achieved. As a result, fraud and corruption are reduced, and both the service provider and the funder gain access to invaluable data about their impact. Increased confidence in the sector incentivizes funding and investment in sustainable development and adds to an accumulation of global impact data, which enables better visibility, planning, and decision-making for the future.
