Does Your Payment Processor Fund Clean Water and Child Welfare? Inside Larecoin's 1.5% Tax That Changes Lives

Your Credit Card Company Profits. Larecoin Gives Back.

Every time you swipe a Visa or Mastercard, 2-3% vanishes into corporate coffers. Banks profit. Middlemen profit. Communities? Nothing.

Larecoin flips that model.

A 1.5% transaction tax built directly into the protocol. Automatic. Transparent. Unstoppable. Every LarePAY transaction funds clean water projects, child welfare programs, and global humanitarian efforts through verified nonprofit partnerships.

Not a marketing gimmick. Not a donation button you ignore. Built-in social impact at the protocol level.

The 1.5% That Changes Everything

Traditional payment processors charge 2-3% and keep it. Larecoin charges under 50% of that, and redirects 1.5% to verified charities.

Here's the breakdown:

• 0.5% goes to network operations (gas fees, infrastructure)

• 1.5% flows directly to partner charities

• Total merchant cost: Still less than half of Visa/Mastercard rates

Every transaction. Every time. No opt-in required.

A coffee shop processing $10,000 monthly sends $150 to ChildFund International automatically. An e-commerce store doing $100,000? That's $1,500 monthly impact without lifting a finger.

Where Your Money Actually Goes

Larecoin doesn't pick random charities from a hat. Strategic partnerships with established organizations:

ChildFund International , Child welfare, education, emergency relief across 23 countries. Your transaction fees fund school supplies in Guatemala, clean water wells in Kenya, emergency shelter in disaster zones.

Water.org , 785 million people lack clean water. Your crypto purchase funds filtration systems, well construction, sanitation infrastructure.

UNICEF : Healthcare, nutrition, education for children in crisis zones. Direct protocol-to-nonprofit transfers.

No administrative overhead eating donations. No sketchy middlemen. Blockchain-verified transfers tracked on LareScan in real-time.

How It Works: Technical Deep Dive

The 1.5% tax isn't a donation button merchants toggle on. It's hardcoded into the Larecoin protocol.

Transaction Flow:

1. Customer pays with Larecoin

2. Smart contract splits payment automatically

3. 98.5% to merchant wallet

4. 1.5% to verified charity wallet

5. NFT receipt generated with charity allocation proof

6. All tracked on LareBlocks infrastructure

Merchants see it on their master wallet dashboard. Real-time allocation tracking across sub-wallets for multi-location businesses. Enterprise-grade management for franchises and chains.

Traditional Processors vs. Larecoin Social Impact

Visa/Mastercard:

• 2-3% merchant fee

• 100% goes to banks and processors

• Zero community impact

• Hidden costs, chargebacks, fraud disputes

NOWPayments/CoinPayments:

• 0.5-1% fees

• Optional donation features (rarely used)

• No built-in social impact

• Manual charity setup required

Larecoin:

• <1.5% total merchant cost

• Automatic 1.5% to verified charities

• Built-in at protocol level

• NFT receipts with impact proof

• LUSD stablecoin option for volatility protection

The math is brutal. Traditional processors extract value. Larecoin redistributes it.

The Infrastructure Behind the Impact

You can't run global charitable payments on shaky tech. Larecoin built industrial-grade infrastructure:

LareBlocks : Custom blockchain explorer. Track every charitable transfer in real-time. Verify your impact. Watch donations flow to partner wallets. Complete transparency.

LareScan : Advanced analytics dashboard. Merchants see exactly where their 1.5% goes. Monthly reports. Annual impact summaries. Export for tax documentation.

Master/Sub-Wallet Architecture : Enterprise businesses manage dozens of locations from one dashboard. Each store's charitable impact tracked separately. Franchise owners see aggregate contributions across all units.

Gift card purchases? Yep, the 1.5% applies. Buy a $100 Amazon card with Larecoin, $1.50 goes to clean water. Seamless conversion. Zero friction.

AI Shopping Meets Social Impact

Larecoin's AI-driven shopping assistant recommends purchases based on your preferences. But here's the twist:

It also shows impact potential.

Browse products. See real-time calculations. "This purchase funds 3 days of clean water for a family." "This transaction provides school supplies for 2 children."

Shopping becomes activism. Every purchase a micro-donation. No extra effort required.

Decentralization + Accountability

Blockchain skeptics ask: "How do we know the money actually reaches charities?"

Fair question. Here's how:

Smart contract verification : Charity wallets are publicly listed. Anyone can verify transfers on LareBlocks. No trust required. Just code.

Third-party audits : Annual reports from independent auditors. Full transparency on fund distribution.

Nonprofit confirmation : Partner charities publish receipts. Match blockchain records to real-world impact reports.

NFT receipts : Every transaction generates an NFT proving the charitable allocation. Keep it. Show it. Verify it.

Decentralization without chaos. Automation without corruption.

Why Merchants Are Switching

Lower fees AND social impact? That's the pitch.

But merchants report unexpected benefits:

Customer loyalty spikes. People prefer businesses that give back. Larecoin merchants display "1.5% to charity" signage. Customers return.

Tax advantages. Consult your accountant, but charitable transaction fees may offer deductions in some jurisdictions.

Marketing differentiation. "We fund clean water with every purchase" beats generic sustainability claims.

Zero overhead. No manual donation processing. No charity vetting. Larecoin handles everything.

A boutique in Miami switched from traditional processing. First month: $23,000 in Larecoin transactions. $345 to ChildFund automatically. Owner did nothing except accept crypto payments.

Community Social Hubs: The Next Evolution

Larecoin is building community spaces where users see collective impact.

Planned features:

• Regional impact dashboards (how much your city contributed)

• Leaderboards for top contributing merchants

• Charity voting mechanisms (community selects new partners)

• Impact stories from beneficiaries

• Live project updates from partner nonprofits

Turn transactions into movements. Individual purchases into collective change.
