Abstract

Existing blockchain-based charitable models face multiple challenges, like authenticating information uploaded to the blockchain, a lack of dispute resolution and corresponding execution mechanisms, legal barriers and low public engagement. To this end, we propose a novel blockchain-based charity model that introduces an insurance mechanism, which aims to enhance accountability, efficiency, availability and public participation. Specifically, our solution combines consortium blockchain with a semi-decentralised architecture (SDA), which enables more democratic supervision of charitable projects by dispersing verification data to all clients while maintaining the high efficiency, convenience and accountability of centralisation as well as the security and transparency of decentralisation. The model also incorporates smart contracts to automate the execution of insurance claims in case of disputes, significantly enhancing the efficiency and fairness of the claims process.
