How Accepting Crypto Payments Fights Global Hunger: The Larecoin Social Impact Engine Explained

Every payment processor takes a cut.

But what if that cut actually fed hungry people instead of just padding corporate profits?

That's exactly what Larecoin's Social Impact Engine does. And it happens automatically: no paperwork, no configuration, zero manual effort required.

The 1.5% That Changes Everything

Here's how it works at the protocol level.

When a customer pays you in LARE tokens or LUSD stablecoins, smart contracts embedded directly in the LareBlocks Layer 1 blockchain execute instantly:

• Customer sends 100 LUSD for a product

• Merchant receives 98.5 LUSD

• 1.5 LUSD routes automatically to verified hunger relief organizations

• NFT receipt generated for complete transparency

• Transaction recorded permanently on LareScan

No buttons to click. No charity settings to toggle. No donation forms.

It's baked into the protocol itself.

Real Impact, Real Numbers

The Social Impact Engine isn't theoretical. It's already funding tangible results:

• 2.3 million meals delivered through global emergency food programs

• 150,000+ meals via direct merchant partnerships

• 50,000+ trees planted through climate action allocations

• Educational resources distributed across 12+ countries

• 12,500+ NFT impact receipts issued for full transparency

Every transaction contributes. Every merchant participates. Every payment makes measurable impact.

And here's the kicker: you're actually saving money while doing it.

The Cost Breakdown vs. Traditional Processors

Let's talk numbers.

Larecoin total fees: ~2.2% (0.3%-0.7% gas fees + 1.5% social impact)

NOWPayments: 0.5%-1% processing fee + network fees + zero social impact

CoinPayments: 0.5% fee + network costs + no built-in charity component

Stripe/PayPal: 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction + zero charitable allocation

You're paying less than legacy processors while automatically funding hunger relief.

That's over 50% savings compared to traditional payment rails: with built-in social good.

How the DAO Governance Works

Here's where it gets interesting.

You might be thinking: "Who decides where this 1.5% goes?"

The answer: LARE token holders vote monthly through DAO governance.

No centralized authority. No corporate charity committee. No opaque decision-making.

The community directs funding based on real-time global needs:

• Hurricane relief in the Caribbean

• Famine response in East Africa

• Emergency food aid after natural disasters

• Long-term food security programs

Token holders propose organizations, community votes, smart contracts execute allocations.

Full transparency. Complete decentralization.

NFT Receipts: Zero-Trust Verification

Every social impact allocation generates an NFT receipt.

Why does this matter?

Because you can independently verify every single contribution without trusting anyone.

No login required. No permissions needed. No gatekeepers.

Just open LareScan (Larecoin's blockchain explorer) and view:

• Exact transaction amounts

• Recipient wallet addresses

• Geographic distribution of aid

• Timestamps and block confirmations

• Complete audit trail

This is "zero-trust verification": the blockchain doesn't lie, and anyone can check the receipts.

LUSD Stablecoin: Predictable Pricing, Consistent Impact

Price volatility kills merchant adoption.

That's why Larecoin built LUSD: a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar.

For merchants: Predictable revenue without crypto price swings

For charities: Consistent funding that doesn't fluctuate with market sentiment

For customers: Stable purchasing power for everyday transactions

The Social Impact Engine works with both LARE tokens and LUSD stablecoins.

Choose volatility for potential upside, or stability for predictable accounting.

Either way, 1.5% goes to hunger relief.

LareBlocks Layer 1: Built for Impact

The Social Impact Engine only works because it's embedded in LareBlocks: Larecoin's custom Layer 1 blockchain.

This isn't a plugin or add-on feature bolted onto existing infrastructure.

It's protocol-level functionality:

• Smart contracts execute automatically at transaction time

• No third-party services required

• No external APIs that can fail

• No manual processes that introduce human error

The architecture guarantees that social impact happens with every transaction.

Compare that to NOWPayments or CoinPayments: they're payment gateways built on top of other blockchains. They don't control the protocol layer.

Larecoin owns the entire stack.

Master/Sub-Wallets for Enterprise Impact Tracking

Large organizations need granular control.

That's why Larecoin supports Master/Sub-wallet architecture for enterprise merchants.

Create unlimited sub-wallets for:

• Different departments

• Multiple store locations

• Individual sales teams

• Franchise operations

Track social impact contributions per wallet.

Generate separate NFT receipt collections for each division.

Run consolidated reports across the entire organization.

All while maintaining the same automatic 1.5% allocation model.

Why Competitors Can't Match This Model

NOWPayments and CoinPayments are excellent payment gateways.

But they're not designed for embedded social impact.

Here's why:

They don't control the protocol layer: They process payments on existing blockchains. They can't modify transaction behavior at the smart contract level.

They charge for services, not impact: Their fees go to operational costs and profit margins. No automatic charitable allocation.

They lack native transparency tools: No built-in blockchain explorer like LareScan for impact verification.

They can't offer DAO governance: No token-holder voting mechanism for directing funds.

Larecoin built the entire ecosystem specifically for this use case.

Gift Card Onboarding: Removing Crypto Barriers

The biggest obstacle to crypto adoption isn't technology.

It's user experience.

That's why Larecoin offers Gift Card onboarding: buy crypto with traditional gift cards from major retailers.

No exchange accounts. No KYC verification. No bank account linking.

Just buy a gift card, convert to LARE or LUSD, start making payments.

This dramatically expands the potential customer base for merchants accepting Larecoin: including unbanked populations who rely on gift cards.

More customers = more transactions = more social impact.

The Push-to-Card Advantage

Crypto-to-fiat settlement remains a friction point.

Larecoin solves this with Push-to-Card services: instant settlement to traditional debit cards.

Accept crypto payments. Receive fiat currency. No exchange delays.

Merchants get the best of both worlds:

• Access to crypto-native customers

• Automatic social impact contribution

• Instant fiat settlement

• Lower fees than legacy processors

All while feeding hungry people globally.
