The Social Impact Engine: How 1.5% of Every Larecoin Transaction Fights Global Hunger (And Saves You Money)

Your Payments Just Got a Purpose

Every time you process a transaction with Larecoin, you're fighting hunger.

No extra clicks. No donation screens. No conscious effort required.

It's hardcoded into the blockchain.

1.5% of every transaction automatically funds verified hunger relief organizations worldwide. And here's the kicker: you're still saving over 50% compared to traditional payment processors like PayPal or Stripe.

Traditional processors charge 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction and pocket the difference. We redirect that capital to feed people instead.

Same payment flow. Better world. Lower fees.

How the Protocol Actually Works

The Social Impact Engine runs on LareBlocks, our Layer 1 blockchain infrastructure. No intermediaries. No trust required.

Here's the transaction flow:

Customer pays: 100% of purchase price in LARE tokens or LUSD stablecoins

Merchant receives: 98.5% immediately to their wallet

Impact allocation: 1.5% routes automatically to hunger relief wallets via immutable smart contracts

The allocation happens at the protocol level. Every. Single. Transaction.

Compare that to NOWPayments (0.5% fee but zero social impact) or CoinPayments (0.5% fee, no built-in philanthropy). They optimize for profit margins. We optimize for planetary impact while still beating their pricing.

DAO Governance: You Decide Where the Money Goes

The Social Impact Engine isn't controlled by us. It's controlled by LARE token holders through monthly DAO voting.

Every holder gets a voice. Every vote matters.

Here's how it works:

Monthly proposal cycle where community members nominate organizations

Verification requirements including charity documentation and on-chain wallet verification

Transparent voting with results published on LareScan

Quarterly performance reviews ensuring funds create real-world impact

The community votes across three core allocation areas:

• Global hunger relief programs

• Education initiatives in underserved regions

• Climate action and reforestation projects

Since launch, the DAO has voted on 47 different initiatives spanning 12+ countries across four continents.

This isn't charity theater. It's decentralized impact with full accountability.

The Numbers Don't Lie

Let's talk measurable results. All verifiable on-chain through LareScan.

2.3 million meals funded globally through emergency food programs

150,000+ meals delivered through direct merchant partnership programs

50,000+ trees planted via community-selected reforestation projects

12+ countries supported with educational programs

12,500+ NFT impact receipts issued for tax documentation

Every transaction generates an NFT receipt that documents your contribution. Perfect for tax write-offs. Perfect for accounting transparency. Perfect for proving actual impact.

Compare this to traditional payment processors. Stripe processes your payment and pockets 2.9%. End of story.

Larecoin processes your payment at 1.5%, saves you money, and feeds hungry people. Different game entirely.

The Cost Savings Breakdown

Let's run the math on a $10,000 monthly transaction volume.

Traditional processor (Stripe/PayPal):

• Fee: 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction

• Cost on $10,000: ~$320

• Social impact: $0

NOWPayments:

• Fee: 0.5%

• Cost on $10,000: $50

• Social impact: $0

Larecoin:

• Social Impact allocation: 1.5%

• Cost on $10,000: $150

• Social impact: $150 to verified hunger relief

• Net merchant cost: $0 (the 1.5% goes to charity, not processor profit)

You're not paying fees. You're funding impact. The merchant keeps 98.5%, which is higher net retention than traditional processors after their profit margins.

And you get NFT receipts documenting every contribution for tax purposes.

LUSD Stablecoin: Impact Without Volatility

Not ready for crypto price swings? Use LUSD, our stablecoin pegged 1:1 to USD.

All the social impact benefits. None of the volatility concerns.

LUSD transactions still trigger the 1.5% Social Impact Engine allocation. Still generate NFT receipts. Still save you money compared to legacy processors.

Perfect for merchants who want stable accounting but believe payments should do more than extract fees.

Master/Sub-Wallets for Enterprise Scale

Running multiple locations? Managing team spending? Our Master/Sub-wallet architecture handles complex organizational structures.

One master wallet controls allocation across unlimited sub-wallets. Each transaction: regardless of which sub-wallet initiates it: still contributes to the Social Impact Engine.

Perfect for:

• Multi-location retail chains

• Restaurant groups

• Enterprise procurement teams

• Franchises

Full transparency across all wallets. Full impact tracking. Full control.

NFT Receipts: Tax Documentation That Actually Works

Every Larecoin transaction generates an NFT receipt with complete transaction metadata.

Timestamp. Amount. Impact allocation. Organization destination. Blockchain verification.

No more spreadsheet gymnastics at tax time. No more missing receipts. No more documentation headaches.

Your accountant will love you. The IRS accepts blockchain verification. Your impact is permanently documented.

Traditional payment processors give you CSV exports. We give you cryptographically verified, tamper-proof receipts as tradeable NFTs.

Real Stories: Merchants Who Switched

The Competitive Landscape

NOWPayments: 0.5% fee, zero social impact, standard crypto payment processing

CoinPayments: 0.5% fee, no built-in philanthropy, basic merchant tools

Larecoin: 1.5% to verified hunger relief, over 50% savings vs traditional processors, NFT receipts, DAO governance, full blockchain transparency

We're not just cheaper than legacy systems. We're purposeful while still beating crypto competitor pricing on total value delivered.

Join the Movement

The Social Impact Engine runs 24/7/365. Every transaction matters. Every allocation is transparent. Every contribution is verified on-chain.

2.3 million meals funded so far. But that's just the beginning.

Imagine when 10,000 merchants process payments through Larecoin. Imagine when consumer adoption reaches critical mass. Imagine when the 1.5% allocation scales to millions of transactions daily.

Global hunger is solvable. Education gaps are closable. Climate action is achievable.

It starts with changing how we think about payment processing. Fees don't have to extract value: they can create it.

Your payments can fight hunger. Starting today.
