The advantage over cash or vouchers is that the ICRC would be able to better manage the inflow and outflow, Graf Nabel said. The project is still in development and it's not clear what asset would back the tokens — local currency, the U.S. dollar and even gold have been floated as possibilities by Graf Nabel and the Partisia team. The Red Cross stressed that it would be the sole provider and redeemer of the tokens. In practice, they would be sent to a wallet app held by beneficiaries assigned as redeemers of tokens. They could be transferred to others via QR codes, with the possibility of being cashed out by certain individuals. "It's really the option of redeeming these tokens that creates the value," said Partisia's Nielsen. "I could go to the bank and cash out, so I can see this is real money and not just numbers. " Crypto and charity The organization decided to use blockchain technology because it wouldn't have to share personal data with third parties, and it found Partisia's privacy focus appealing. Partisia uses a protocol based on multiparty computation (MPC) technology, which enables assessments and evaluations based on a group of users' private data — without revealing that data — to deposit and withdraw the tokens. Nielsen plans to develop the project by using a combination of public and private smart contract tools. He said this would also ensure transparency, meaning that the ICRC could be aware of the transactions while disguising patterns of recognition that might otherwise be discerned from on-chain transaction data. While the prototype project will be presented on Saturday at a Partisia event, it's likely to be a long road ahead until it is deployed. It may take years, Graf Nabel said. There are regulatory issues, he noted, as certain countries ban cryptocurrencies. A timeline for deployment also must take into account the ICRC's responsibility as a humanitarian aid provider. "We have a moral obligation to not be totally closed to new technologies, as there's always going to be more need than resources in humanitarian [work]," he said. "But firstly, we have to have a very cautious approach. We cannot have a mantra that says move fast and break things, because these are vulnerable people that we have to protect." © 2022 The Block Crypto, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
