Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3
PROOF OF HUMANITY: DEMOCRACY EARTH FOUNDATION IS A CO-FOUNDER OF THE PROOF OF HUMANITY PROJECT THAT BUILDS A DECENTRALIZED INDEX OF HUMAN IDENTITIES USING SMART CONTRACTS. SUBMITTERS HAVE TO CREATE AN ONLINE VIDEO OF THEMSELVES STATING THAT THEY CERTIFY THEY ARE REAL HUMANS AND ARENT REGISTERED IN THE SYSTEM. DURING A PERIOD OF 3 DAYS, PROFILES CAN BE CHALLENGED IF THEY DO NOT MEET THE REQUIRED CRITERIA AND GET SENT TO AN ARBITRATION SYSTEM THAT WILL ULTIMATELY DECIDE THE VALIDITY OF HUMAN IDENTITIES. PROOF OF HUMANITY ALLOWS ON THE ETHEREUM NETWORK TO SIGNAL A LIST OF HUMAN BEINGS WITHOUT DUPLICATES OR FAKE PROFILES. THIS CAN BE USED TO CREATE ONLINE VOTES AND ALL KINDS OF SOCIAL SYSTEMS BEING BUILT WITH SMART CONTRACT TECHNOLOGY.
UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME (UBI):DEMOCRACY EARTH FOUNDATION WORKED ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME SMART CONTRACT THAT WORKS AS A UTILITY THAT HELPS EVERY HUMAN REGISTERED VIA PROOF OF HUMANITY TO ACCRUE TOKENS OVER TIME. UBI WORKS AS AN ETHEREUM COMPATIBLE TOKEN AND CAN BE USED TO MAKE ALL KINDS OF BLOCKCHAIN-ENABLED TRANSACTIONS.
DEMOCRATIC DISTRIBUTED AUTONOMOUS ORGANIZATIONS (DAO):DEMOCRACY EARTH FOUNDATION BUILT THE FIRST DEMOCRATIC DAO ON ETHEREUM BY COMBINING PROOF OF HUMANITY AND VOTING SOLUTIONS LIKE SNAPSHOT THAT ALLOW PARTICIPANTS TO CAST VOTES. THANKS TO THE INTEGRATION WITH PROOF OF HUMANITY, THE SYSTEM IS VERY HARD TO GAME WITH FALSE IDENTITIES. THE PROOF OF HUMANITY DAOS ALSO IMPLEMENT LIQUID DEMOCRACY AND ALLOW FOR USERS TO DELEGATE THEIR VOTE TO OTHERS.
