Title

Building distributed infrastructure for financial inclusion.

Abstract

This talk explores permissionless financial infrastructure—open systems offering global access to financial services without central intermediaries. With 1.7 billion unbanked people and 1.1 billion of them owning phones, decentralized tech can drive inclusion. We discuss the GoodDollar project, a universal basic income distributed to 960,000+ users as  case of how transparent, decentralized systems can support financial inclusion.
