Earthquake damage, Malapatan, Sarangani
Transparency Seal · Stellar × Philippines

When disaster strikes, the money gets lost.

Billions in relief never reach the people who need it. We make sure it does — quick, verifiable, transparent, on Stellar.

Last month: Mw 7.8 Sarangani earthquake · June 8, 2026346,449 affected · ₱771M moved · ₱0 traceable to a family

President Marcos pledged ₱50,000 to each bereaved family, announced June 10, 2026. There is no published count of how many families received it — and no per-recipient proof anywhere.

Where it began · since 2012

The Philippines already has a Transparency Seal.

Philippine Transparency Seal banner

Since 2012, every national agency must publish its budget & contracts behind a Transparency Seal — mandated by the 2012 GAA. The government made itself show its books.

Disaster money flows through DSWD to relief charities — but no one can see where it went. (COA’s 2024 audit of DSWD aid.)

The market: ₱245B DSWD budget + $38B OFW remittances flow through PH relief & giving every year — and most of it is untraceable.

The proof it’s possible

The Philippines already made its roads transparent.

DSWD does the opposite — it pays accredited charities but never publishes which org got what. So we do for relief what the government did for roads.

A real example · June 2026

₱771M moved after the quake. Can you verify a single peso?

The Mw 7.8 Sarangani earthquake hit Mindanao on June 8, 2026 — 346,449 people affected, 92 dead, 25,001 still displaced.

₱771M

DSWD aid “disbursed” — 676,987 food packs + cash aid. You see the total, not the trail.

₱0

traceable to a family. DROMIC reports are aggregate snapshots — no per-transaction ledger, no receipt.

?

Red Cross, World Vision, UNICEF & more raised private donations — with no public total at all.

Marcos promised ₱50,000 to every bereaved family (June 10). How many actually received it? No public record. Meanwhile in Glan, families showed up and were left off the list entirely.

You can read “₱771M distributed” — you cannot prove one peso reached one family. On Stellar, every peso is a clickable receipt: funded, claimed, or visibly unclaimed. That gap is what we close.

Donor reclaims — no loss
1. DSWD attests

DSWD verifies each charity's wallet once — only accredited, open-finance orgs get the seal. That allow-list goes on-chain.

2. Escrow

You donate directly into a Stellar escrow only that org can claim — a public on-chain receipt, verifiable forever.

3. We step out

Donors give wallet-to-charity on Stellar. We never hold keys or money — we can't be the middleman.

You donate straight to a sealed, open-finance charity — not through us.

Why Stellar

The right rail for relief money.

Escrow, natively

Claimable balances are a protocol primitive — escrow with no smart-contract risk to audit.

Seconds, sub-cent

A donation settles in 3–5s for a fraction of a centavo — so 100% of a ₱50 gift arrives.

Stablecoin in & out

Donate USDC today — a dollar-stable coin, no volatility. PHP-native (PHPC) plugs in once a BSP-licensed peso anchor is live on Stellar.

Non-custodial · you can’t steal it

We never hold your money.

The protocol won’t let us — no “trust us” required.

You sign, not us

The donor's own wallet signs locally. We never see a private key.

Protocol escrow

Money moves into a native Stellar claimable balance — never an account we control.

Only the org can claim

DSWD attests the wallet; the platform is never a signer. We can't touch it.

Why everyone wins

Transparency is a growth engine.

Donors

It arrives — watch your peso land on-chain in seconds. Proof, not trust.

Charities

Transparency raises ~53% more. Keep 100%, settle in seconds.

Government

Rebuild trust. Faster relief. Audit-ready by default.

Where this goes

From a government mandate to a movement.

1 · Charities first

Charities are already open about their finances — the natural place to start. They earn the seal by proving it on-chain, not by decree.

2 · Then the private sector

Any org that opens its books can carry the seal — from NGOs to companies. Transparency becomes a competitive advantage, not a mandate.

3 · DSWD is the bridge

DSWD accredits the charities and publishes finances — so each verified charity links straight to the government’s own transparent data.

The result: one unbroken, verifiable chain — DSWD budget → accredited charity → beneficiary — every hop cross-checked against the government’s own public data.

Business model

How we make money.

1%
transparent platform fee per donation — on-chain and disclosed. 99% reaches the org.
vs the alternatives
GoFundMe ~3% + card fees · remittance 5–10%. We take a fraction — visibly.
+ verification SaaS
Departments & charities pay to onboard, get verified, and publish their live seal.

Once charities are on Stellar, we’re the “no middleman” platform — donors give peer-to-peer, directly to a verified org. We take the disclosed fee; we never hold the money.

Aligned incentives: we only earn when money reaches a verified org.

The ask

Two things turn this into a national rail.

Ask 1 — Departments claim their wallet

Every DSWD-accredited or PCNC-certified charity and LGU disaster office onboards a Stellar wallet it controls — flipping a reserved slot into a live, donatable, provable account.

Ask 2 — A local anchor

A BSP-licensed anchor (Coins.ph / PDAX) to issue & redeem PHP↔USDC on Stellar — so Filipinos donate in pesos and orgs cash out in pesos. The one piece we can’t build alone.

Who we work with

A coalition, not a middleman.

Government

DSWD

Accreditation of relief orgs + disaster response — the backbone of our allow-list.

LGU DRRMOs / NDRRMC

Local disaster offices that receive & disburse calamity funds — the departments who claim a wallet.

DPWH

Flood-control transparency (151k projects) — the accountability data behind "where did the money go?".

DBM & COA

Budget releases (SAROs) and audit — the source of the unspent-fund forensics.

Anchors, ecosystem & relief orgs

Coins.ph / PDAX

BSP-licensed VASPs — the local PHP↔USDC anchor (the piece we need).

MoneyGram

Cash-out at 300k+ locations — the same rails UNHCR/IRC use.

Stellar Development Foundation / SCF

Grants + the humanitarian disbursement platform we build on.

World Vision · Tzu Chi · Caritas · Red Cross · PDRF

Accredited relief orgs — first to onboard wallets.

The vision

Imagine if every org had the seal.

The government put a Transparency Seal on its own websites to prove it shows its books. We put that seal in the hands of every relief org and disaster office — so donors, citizens, and auditors verify every peso in real time. Trust, replaced by proof.
