The rules of our economy were written for a different century. Individuals have gained access to move money easily within their own country, due to federal laws and national banks. Additionally, communities are becoming more global and inter-continental transactions continue to increase.

And yet, individuals are significantly penalized for the cost of transacting globally. Consumers will pay $30 billion in fees just this year to process transactions, which will be pocketed by intermediaries like banks and governments. The unbanked are unable to conduct transactions due to a lack of credit score, and countries with high inflation currencies will be trapped utilizing a worthless asset.

Crucially, blockchain technology is uniquely positioned to create a more open, more equitable, and more effective banking and financial infrastructure as people, goods, and currency move throughout the world. We are looking for entrepreneurs and builders to design these new protocols and financial instruments for global financial activity. We leave it to you to design the new conditions for global financial activity, and offer the following provocations as a place to get started:

  • How might we design custom financial solutions for individuals
    transacting in a global market?

    • Examples: Only charging transaction fees for transfers between people that don’t know each other on the platform and a higher burden of proof for platform “Friendship,” creating a complete picture of someone’s financial history that considers all transactions including paid and requested transactions, allowing transactions for unbanked or populations without government-issued identities.

  • How might we reinvent the definition and evaluation of financial risk?

    • Examples: Gamifying assessment of risk tolerance, humanizing the process of smaller sized financial risks under a certain dollar threshold, leveraging a combo of local experiences and ever-present technology to make educated bets around financial risk.

I'm going to start analyzing the solutions for the main two questions. I think Libra project has part of the solution, but, very important but, we should do it with different partners and keeping user privacy.
My main question here is, what should be the output of that issue? a document answering these two questions? It is not clear for me.

Thanks!

Develop mobile POS to help tourists pay using crypto in underdeveloped countries where there is no access to POS, while enabling sellers to settle in local currency (even in cash) thus not requiring them to have any crypto knowledge.
4) bugduino has started work.

We are currently working on this gitcoinco/beyondblockchainteams#12
5) ugolino has started work.

  • Defining different solutions to the problem
  • Collect SMEs feedbacks to test the ideas
  • Build a prototype based on SMEs feedbacks
  • Validate the prototype
    6) phraktle has started work.

Build UI components and an Ethereum smart contract that supports donation matching. A charity (and others) should be able to easily embed this as a widget into their sites.
7) brianspha has started work.

Constantly updating the status of the development process
8) xiitoxaiix has started work.

I NEED SOME $$$$ FOR MY MOM...
9) craze3 has started work.

In the spirit of designing an open transaction economy + leveraging technology to make educated bets about financial risk, I am creating a service that can scan blockchain wallet addresses (starting with Ethereum) and return information about the risk associated with the user/address. There is a list of 2,000+ ETH addresses on etherscamdb.info that is constantly updated. I plan to use that to determine if a specified Ethereum wallet address has been an accomplice to phishing, theft, or other scams.
10) xvettex has started work.

Offchain payment protocol built top of ethereum.
11) crisgarner has started work.

We are building an ICO (Initial Coffee Offering) where coffee farmers can exchange their coffee production for Affogato tokens that can be swapped for assets in decentralized exchanges (like Uniswap).
12) owans has started work.

Submitting a PR for the ConsenSys Open Transaction economy labs relay
