A transparent, audit-ready giving model for modern ministries.
Sunday morning, the plate moves and so do the questions: Did it clear? Did it help? Where did it go?
On-chain tithing answers in real time. Gifts settle fast, receipts hit inboxes, and spending is labeled by purpose. Not hype—governance, clarity, and speed.
What This Solves (in plain language)
- Doubt → Proof: Every gift has a receipt and a public trace.
- Delay → Now: Funds move in seconds, not “3–5 business days.”
- Guesswork → Labels: “Roof,” “Scholarships,” “Missions”—each outflow is tagged and visible.
How It Works (three moves)
- Multi-Sig Church Wallet
Three officers safeguard the treasury (Pastor, Treasurer, Trustee). Two must approve any outgoing transfer. No single point of failure. - Simple Giving Flow (QR or Link)
Members scan, choose amount, add a memo. Instant confirmation. Use stablecoins for predictability; keep any BTC allocation small and policy-driven. - Public Transparency Page
A lightweight dashboard shows inflows, outflows, and progress to goals—updated continuously.
Governance That Protects Everyone
- 2-of-3 approvals on all spend
- Hardware wallets only (keys stored separately)
- Written policy: assets allowed, auto-convert %, spend limits, recovery steps
- Quarterly review with a short, visual summary to the congregation
Where It Shines
- Building Fund, without rumors: Watch goals fill. Celebrate milestones on screen.
- Emergency Aid, same day: Disburse in minutes, label it, and show it.
- Diaspora Support: Family in another city—or country—can give in seconds.
- Youth Grants: Micro-grants to student founders with transparent follow-up.
90-Day Playbook
Days 1–30 (Foundation)
- Seat a 3-person treasury team; adopt a 1-page policy.
- Set up multi-sig + hardware keys (stored in separate locations).
- Do a $25 dry run and document every step.
Days 31–60 (Pilot & Proof)
- Pilot at one service (e.g., Wednesday + Youth Sunday).
- Launch the transparency page with labeled projects.
- Show a “How to Give via QR (2 steps)” slide before offering.
Days 61–90 (Scale & Stewardship)
- Add stablecoin option; turn on auto-convert rules (e.g., 80% USD, 20% BTC reserve).
- Launch a named goal (e.g., Blockchain Building Fund) with a date and dollar target.
- Publish a simple quarterly audit slide: inflows, outflows, balances, wins.
FAQ (straight answers)
Volatility? Use stablecoins for operations; keep any BTC slice small, policy-defined, and long-term.
Accounting? Instant receipts to givers; monthly CSV/Excel exports for your accountant.
Lost key? Multi-sig means remaining signers recover. Document recovery and rotate keys.
Closing
This isn’t trend-chasing. It’s tool-adoption. We’ve built choirs, credit unions, and community centers. Now we build financial rails the congregation can trust—out loud and on schedule.
Hustler’s Takeaway: Start small, codify policy, protect the keys, make the numbers visible. Let the transparency preach.
