How Your Crypto Payments Can Fight Global Hunger: The 1.5% Social Impact Engine Explained

Every crypto payment you make could be feeding someone.

Not through guilt-trip donation pop-ups. Not through optional charity buttons that nobody clicks.

Through code. Through protocol. Through blockchain architecture that makes social impact automatic.

That's Larecoin's Social Impact Engine.

What Makes This Different

Traditional payment processors take your money and disappear into corporate profits.

Stripe charges 2.9% + $0.30. PayPal takes similar cuts. Square grabs its piece.

Zero social impact. Zero transparency. Zero choice in where your fees go.

Crypto alternatives like NOWPayments and CoinPayments charge 0.5% but offer nothing beyond transaction processing.

Larecoin built something completely different into its LareBlocks Layer 1 blockchain.

The 1.5% That Changes Everything

When you process a payment through Larecoin: whether you're accepting LARE tokens or LUSD stablecoins: 1.5% gets automatically allocated through smart contracts.

Here's the split:

0.7% → Verified hunger relief organizations 0.8% → Network infrastructure and operations

This isn't a donation feature. It's not opt-in. It's not a separate button.

It's embedded at the protocol level. Every transaction. Every time.

Smart contracts execute instantly. Funds route automatically. No human intervention required.

How It Actually Works

Let's say your customer buys something for $100 in LUSD.

The smart contract triggers. $0.70 goes directly to the current hunger relief organization selected through DAO voting. $0.80 maintains the network that makes these transactions possible.

Your customer receives their goods. You receive $98.50. The hunger relief org receives funding.

All in one transaction. All on-chain. All verifiable.

The NFT Receipt Revolution

Every transaction generates an immutable NFT receipt.

This isn't just for show. This is tax documentation. Accounting transparency. Audit trails.

You can prove every payment. Trace every donation. Document every transaction for compliance.

Traditional payment processors give you a CSV file. Maybe.

Larecoin gives you blockchain-verified proof that lives forever.

For merchants, this means simplified accounting. For organizations receiving funds, this means complete transparency. For customers, this means trust.

Cost Comparison: The Math That Matters

Let's compare processing $10,000 in monthly payments:

Traditional Processors (Stripe/PayPal)

• Fee: 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction

• Cost on $10k: ~$320

• Social impact: $0

NOWPayments

• Fee: 0.5%

• Cost on $10k: $50

• Social impact: $0

CoinPayments

• Fee: 0.5%

• Cost on $10k: $50

• Social impact: $0

Larecoin

• Fee: 1.5%

• Cost on $10k: $150

• Social impact: $70 to hunger relief

• Net cost: $80 (for network maintenance)

You save over 50% compared to legacy processors. You contribute $70 to fighting hunger. You pay $80 for infrastructure that's faster, cheaper, and more transparent.

That's not a tradeoff. That's an upgrade.

LUSD: The Stability Advantage

The Social Impact Engine primarily operates through LUSD: Larecoin's stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar.

Why does this matter?

Volatility kills charitable funding. If hunger relief organizations receive volatile crypto, they lose purchasing power between donation and deployment.

A $100 donation in volatile crypto might be worth $85 when they go to buy food supplies.

LUSD eliminates that problem completely.

Organizations receive stable value. Merchants receive stable value. The $0.70 that leaves your transaction is the same $0.70 that arrives at its destination.

No conversion risk. No timing games. No volatility hedging required.

Democratic Governance Through DAO Voting

Here's where it gets interesting.

LARE token holders don't just use the network. They govern it.

Every month, the community votes on which hunger relief organizations receive funding.

Proposals come from anywhere. Verified organizations apply. Token holders evaluate and vote.

This decentralizes decision-making beyond any single corporate entity. No executive board choosing pet charities. No political favoritism.

Pure community governance directing real capital toward verified impact.

Regional focus? Vote for it.

Specific crisis response? Vote for it.

Long-term infrastructure building? Vote for it.

The blockchain executes what the community decides.

Enterprise Benefits: Master/Sub-Wallet Management

For businesses processing significant volume, Larecoin's Master/Sub-wallet architecture makes social impact scalable.

Set up department-specific wallets. Track social impact by division. Generate consolidated reports showing total hunger relief contributions across your entire organization.

Your CFO gets clean numbers. Your marketing team gets impact stories. Your CSR reporting writes itself.

All automated. All on-chain. All verifiable.

The Numbers That Matter

As of February 2026, Larecoin's Social Impact Engine has processed over $47 million in transactions.

That's $329,000 directed to verified hunger relief organizations.

Zero overhead lost to administrative fees. Zero funds diverted to executive compensation. Zero confusion about where money goes.

Every dollar tracked. Every allocation verified. Every impact measurable.

Compare that to traditional charitable giving where 20-30% disappears into administrative overhead.

The blockchain doesn't take lunch breaks. It doesn't have pension obligations. It doesn't need office space.

It just executes. Instantly. Permanently. Transparently.

Why Merchants Choose This Model

You're already paying transaction fees.

The question isn't whether you pay fees. The question is what those fees accomplish.

Legacy processors use your fees to enrich shareholders and pay for Super Bowl commercials.

NOWPayments and CoinPayments use your fees for server costs and profit margins.

Larecoin uses your fees to fight hunger while saving you money.

It's cheaper than Stripe. More impactful than any crypto competitor. More transparent than any traditional processor.

Plus you get:

• NFT receipt accounting

• Sub-wallet management

• LUSD stability

• Push-to-Card services

• AI shopping assistants

• Gift Card onboarding

The social impact isn't extra. It's included. It's automatic. It's the way payments should work.

Getting Started

The Social Impact Engine activates the moment you start accepting Larecoin payments.

No special setup. No separate integration. No additional configuration.

Accept LARE or LUSD. Process transactions. Generate impact.

Your customers get seamless Web3 payments with Gift Card onboarding that makes crypto entry effortless.

You get enterprise-grade infrastructure running on LareBlocks Layer 1 with LareScan transparency.

Hunger relief organizations get consistent, automated funding.

Everyone wins. That's not marketing speak. That's protocol design.

The Future of Payments

Traditional finance separates profit from purpose.

You either make money or make impact. Pick one.

That's obsolete thinking in a Web3 world.

Larecoin proves you can have radical cost savings, social impact, and superior technology in the same protocol.

The 1.5% Social Impact Engine isn't charity. It's architecture.

It's what happens when you build payments from scratch without legacy constraints, corporate overhead, or shareholder obligations.

Every transaction fights hunger. Every payment proves it's possible.

That's not the future of crypto payments. That's the present.
