Lucilla
Company · Global — deployed wherever a partner draws a zone
A mechanism for distributing USDC at physical locations. An area is tiled into hexagons that cannot overlap, each carrying its own budget and claim cap, and a person standing inside one claims straight to their own wallet — no intermediary holds it, and it settles on Base in seconds, publicly, with nothing deducted in transit. That makes relief fast and targeted to the block rather than the region, with consented contact so a partner can follow up with the people it actually reached. Alongside it, an AI connector on SMS and WhatsApp takes what people say in their own words — medical supplies, rescue, structural damage, water, shelter — and classifies it into the IASC humanitarian clusters a response is already coordinated in, counting distinct people per area per hour so partners can read where need is concentrating while it happens. Messages that read as life-threatening short-circuit everything and return the correct local emergency number immediately, from a human-verified table rather than a model.

Basilic
Basilic
Company · Colombia corridor
USDC into a Colombian bank account by COP ACH, for recipients who hold a bank account or a mobile wallet such as Nequi or Daviplata, settling in one to two business days, and in the reverse direction if needed. Cash pickup for unbanked recipients is not covered today — that leg needs a local partner, and Basilic has offered to build it jointly once one is identified. Their conditions before activation: a field partner has selected and verified the recipient list, and the pilot scope is defined.

The rail
Lucilla
Free, with fees waived for this response.
Geospatial hex mapping
An area tessellated into hexagons that tile without overlapping — so no location is funded twice, and each cell holds its own budget and cap.
Public as it happens
Every claim is a public transaction the moment it lands.
Direct cash pools
Settles wallet to wallet on Base in seconds. Nothing intermediated, deducted, or held in float.
The SMS connector
Claim by text message. No app, no smartphone, no data plan.
How it works
01
Choose the area
Tiled into hexagons that do not overlap. Each one carries its own budget and claim cap, so no town drains another's share.
02
Fund it from your wallet
The money stays in your wallet until someone claims it. We never hold it, take a cut, or redirect it. Fees waived for this response.
03
Your name sits on the zone
With your message to anyone who claims inside it. Every transfer is public the moment it lands — time, amount, transaction hash.
The call

We are leveraging our technology to deploy relief. We need the people who can direct it.

Blockchain companies, corporations, emergency aid and relief organisations, and government partners — sign up so we can coordinate as one network instead of four separate efforts.

01

Coordinate access to relief funds

Money reaches a targeted disaster area through one shared map, so two organisations never fund the same block while the next one goes untouched.

02

Facilitate the use of those funds

Partners decide who is eligible and where. The rail settles it wallet-to-wallet in seconds, publicly, with nothing deducted in transit.

03

Deploy the Connector

Our transmission agent reaches people calling for aid over plain SMS — no app, no data plan — matches them to what they need, and reports back to the organisations coordinating the response.

What changes

The same dollar, four fewer hops.

Today, emergency cash passes through four organisations before it reaches a person. A donor funds an international agency. The agency contracts a local partner. The partner contracts a payment provider. The provider finally pays out. Every handover is a contract to sign and an account to reconcile, and every one of them adds days.

Here there is one handover. The funder's wallet pays the person's wallet.

The route

UsuallyDonor to agency to local partner to a payment provider to the person. Each hop is contracted separately and reconciled separately.

HereThe funder's wallet to the person's wallet. One hop. We never take custody of it, so there is no account of ours for it to sit in.

What arrives

UsuallyWhatever is left after administration, currency conversion and the cost of running the distribution itself.

HereThe amount that was funded. Nothing is administered, converted or skimmed on the way — a dollar in is a dollar received, and our own fees are waived for this response.

How fast

UsuallyWeeks between a pledge and money in someone's hand: provider contracting, registration, distribution logistics.

HereSeconds between a claim and settled funds, once a partner has opened a zone. The delay is the decision, not the plumbing.

What you can see

UsuallyA report at the end of a reporting cycle, reconciled from records held by several different organisations.

HereEvery claim is a public transaction the moment it lands — time, amount, transaction hash. Auditable by anyone, including the donor, while it is still happening.

Who can receive it

UsuallySomeone with a bank account or mobile money, or who can reach a distribution point during the hours it is open.

HereSomeone with any handset that can send a text. No app, no smartphone, no data plan — which is what an area with damaged infrastructure actually has.

Knowing whether it worked

UsuallyA post-distribution monitoring survey, sampled from a subset of households, weeks or months after the money moved.

HereClaims are made by verified accounts — a confirmed phone number, and an email where one is given. So a partner can follow up with the people it actually reached, ask what the money went on, and carry that into the next zone. Contact details are the person's to give and to withdraw, never scraped, and shared only where they opted in.

Knowing what an area needs

UsuallyA needs assessment: teams going block to block, or a cluster meeting compiling reports from several agencies, with the picture arriving days behind the situation it describes.

HerePeople already text the connector in their own words — medical supplies, rescue, structural damage, water, shelter. An AI agent classifies each message into the IASC humanitarian clusters the response is already coordinated in, and counts distinct people per area per hour rather than message volume. Partners read where need is concentrating while it is happening. It listens; it does not dispatch, and it never competes for the network someone is using to reach their family.

Funding the same place twice

UsuallyDeduplicating across agencies working the same district is a standing, well-known problem in every large response.

HereThe area is tiled into hexagons that cannot overlap, each with its own budget and claim cap. A funded hex is visibly funded, to everyone.

What this is not

Cash is not the whole response. It does not clear a road, fly in water, or pull anyone out of a collapsed building. The organisations and the people on the ground do that, and none of this is worth anything without them.

What cash does, where shops are still trading and transport still runs, is let someone decide for themselves what they need this week — faster than any supply chain can guess it. Where that is not true of an area, cash is the wrong tool, and the partner coordinating that area is the one who says so. Then no zone opens there.
