The 1.5% That Changes Everything: How Larecoin's Social Impact Model Feeds the World While You Get Paid

Pay Less. Impact More. No Checkboxes Required.

Here's the problem with traditional charity: it dries up exactly when it's needed most.

Economic crisis hits. Donations plummet. Hunger gets worse.

Larecoin flips this backward. Every transaction automatically feeds people. No opt-in screens. No donation fatigue. No manual effort.

Just commerce doing what it does best: at scale.

The Math That Actually Makes Sense

Traditional payment processors hit you with 2.5%-3.5% fees. Zero social impact.

Larecoin charges 2.2% total. 1.5% of that feeds the world.

!

Let's break down what this looks like in real numbers:

Processing $15,000 monthly:

• Traditional processors: ~$300 in fees, $0 to charity

• Larecoin: $220 total ($70 processing + $150 to hunger relief)

• Your savings: $30-$80 monthly

• Your impact: Enough to feed 300+ people

Processing $100,000 monthly:

• Traditional processors: ~$2,900 in fees, $0 to charity

• Larecoin: $2,200 total ($700 processing + $1,500 to hunger relief)

• Your savings: $300-$800 monthly

• Your impact: 3,000+ meals delivered

You're not choosing between profit and purpose. You're getting both.

How the 1.5% Actually Works

No manual donations. No corporate PR campaigns deciding where money flows.

Smart contracts handle everything.

When customers pay with LARE tokens or LUSD stablecoins, the LareBlocks Layer 1 blockchain automatically routes 1.5% of transaction value to verified charitable organizations. Instant. Transparent. Immutable.

The breakdown:

• 0.3%-0.7% covers gas and processing

• 1.5% goes directly to social impact

• 2.2% total: still cheaper than Visa, Mastercard, or Stripe

Every transaction. Every time. No exceptions.

You Choose Where Impact Happens

Here's where it gets interesting.

Traditional payment companies donate to causes their marketing departments pick. Great for PR. Questionable for actual impact alignment.

Larecoin uses DAO governance instead.

LARE token holders propose and vote monthly on which organizations receive funding. The community decides. Not corporate executives in boardrooms.

Want more funding for climate action? Propose it. Vote on it.

Think emergency food programs need priority? Rally the community.

This is decentralized philanthropy at transaction speed.

The Documented Impact (Not Marketing Fluff)

Numbers don't lie. Blockchain makes sure of it.

Since launch:

• 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

• $500K+ in verified charitable contributions generated

Every dollar traced on-chain. Every meal accounted for. Every tree planted documented.

Compare that to traditional payment processors where fees disappear into corporate overhead and shareholder dividends.

Why This Model Scales (And Charity Doesn't)

Voluntary donations have a fatal flaw: they're voluntary.

When recession hits, donations collapse. Food banks go empty. Need increases while funding decreases.

Larecoin's model flips the script.

Impact scales with transaction volume. More commerce = more meals. Economic growth directly funds social programs.

It's not charity. It's infrastructure.

The 1.5% isn't a donation button users ignore. It's embedded in the protocol. Commerce funds impact automatically, at scale, forever.

Real Merchants, Real Savings, Real Impact

A mid-sized online retailer processing $50,000 monthly switched from a traditional processor to Larecoin.

Previous setup:

• Monthly fees: ~$1,450

• Social impact: $0

• Customer awareness: None

With Larecoin:

• Monthly fees: $1,100 total

• Social impact: $750 to hunger relief programs

• Customer awareness: High (transparent on receipts)

• Net savings: $350/month

The retailer now uses impact metrics in marketing. "Shop with us, feed families globally." It works.

Customers choose purpose-driven brands. This gives them proof.

The NFT Receipt Advantage

Every Larecoin transaction generates an NFT receipt.

Not just a blockchain gimmick. Actual utility.

These receipts show:

• Transaction details

• Exact amount allocated to social impact

• Which organization received funding

• Timestamp and verification

Tax season? You've got immutable proof of charitable contributions. Compliance teams love it. Accountants appreciate it.

Traditional processors give you a CSV file. Larecoin gives you blockchain-verified impact documentation.

How It Compares to the Competition

NOWPayments:

• Fees: 0.5%-1%

• Social impact: Zero

• Merchant tools: Basic

• Charitable infrastructure: None

CoinPayments:

• Fees: 0.5%

• Social impact: Zero

• Merchant tools: Moderate

• Charitable infrastructure: None

Larecoin:

• Fees: 2.2% (including 1.5% social impact)

• Social impact: Automatic and transparent

• Merchant tools: Advanced (master/sub-wallet management)

• Charitable infrastructure: Built-in DAO governance

Sure, their base fees look lower. But they're transactional tools, not impact platforms.

If you're just moving money, they work fine. If you want commerce to mean something beyond quarterly earnings, Larecoin is the only option that delivers.

Getting Started Takes Minutes

No complex onboarding. No enterprise sales calls.

Three steps:

1. Create merchant account at larecoin.com

2. Set up master wallet (sub-wallets optional for larger operations)

3. Start accepting LARE or LUSD payments

Gift card redemption, ACH transfers, and push-to-card services handle the fiat bridge seamlessly.

Your customers don't need to understand blockchain. They just pay. The protocol handles impact automatically.

The Future of Commerce Is Impact-Native

Traditional payment rails extract value. Fees vanish into corporate profit.

Web3 payment infrastructure can do better. Should do better.

Larecoin proves it's possible.

Lower fees than legacy processors. Automatic global impact. Transparent governance. Merchant cost savings.

This isn't feel-good marketing. It's mathematics and smart contract logic.

Every business chooses payment infrastructure. Most optimize for cost. Some optimize for features.

Larecoin optimizes for both: plus feeding the world.

The 1.5% changes everything because it proves commerce can scale profit and purpose simultaneously.

What Happens Next

2.3 million meals delivered is impressive.

But it's just the beginning.

As merchant adoption grows, impact scales proportionally. Ten thousand merchants processing $100K monthly generates $15 million annually in automatic charitable funding.

No fundraising campaigns. No donor fatigue. No corporate matching programs.

Just embedded, automatic, blockchain-verified impact at transaction speed.

The question isn't whether this model works. The numbers prove it does.

The question is whether you're ready to be part of it.

Your payment processor charges you more to deliver less. Larecoin charges you less to deliver more.

The 1.5% feeds the world. The other 0.7% processes payments cheaper than legacy rails.

Do the math. Then do something about it.
