DeFi isn’t about making money or getting rich.

DeFi is about providing access to financial services for everyone, everywhere, in every situation...

Our motivation

Cryptocurrencies and the blockchain revolution are founded on the promise of providing unbanked and underbanked people around the world with the opportunity to gain access to a financial system and financial services.

This promise, however, is only partly realized — cryptocurrencies have made simple payments available to everyone, but financial services and products based on open blockchain technology have yet to emerge.

Decentralized finance makes it possible to create open services for the unbanked — but the DeFi ecosystem is focused on enhancing traditional financial services functions as a speculative investment vehicle driven by profit-seeking.

With few exceptions, the current DeFi paradigm is money centric — not human centric. Let’s change that.

Let’s Build Human DeFi Together!

Cool stuff to ideate and buidl!!

We dream about new models of peer-to-peer financial and insurance services driven for and by people, savings pools which have a positive environmental and social effect, stablecoins pegged by carbon credits, token bonding curves that fund public goods, convertible donations, new loan models, time and knowledge based coins, and all the crazy but meaningful ideas that we can come up with.

Join the haeck and envision a new financial system open to everyone — with trust in no one.

• Remittances 
• Crowdfunding 
• p2p Lending 
• Automated market makers 
• Collateralized loans
• Stablecoins
• Universal Basic Income
• Community currencies 
• Your craziest idea!!

If you think your idea does not fit in the Human DeFi tag, you are wrong! We are all Human, after all. We embrace every kind of innovation, but we want to go one step further and reinvent financial interactions together.

Open to everyone

Best haecks are executed by multidisciplinary teams, so it doesn’t matter whether you have a technical, economic, humanistic, artistic, or whatever background — we want you for the Human DeFi Haeck!

Learn and enjoy

The haeck will start with a series of webinars to give you the necessary insight to develop a meaningful, exciting solution. You can always catch up on our past webinars of course.

Stand on the Shoulders of Giants

You will be constantly supported by an amazing network of mentors to help you throughout the haeck — learn as you build!

Design-Oriented Approach

Unsure of what to develop in the haeck? Want to find a real problem to solve with your haeck? We’ve got you covered. Before starting to code, and thanks to blockchain 4 Humanity we’ll help you answer those questions and create solutions with design-oriented development techniques.

Networking

A remote hackathon is a fun and effective way to meet interesting people from all over the world while you grow in the blockchain space.

The day after

How many potentially meaningful projects are forgotten when a hackathon ends? Too many promising projects are left behind. Meaningful projects might get further support after the haeckathon to make your use case a working product — with real users.

Powered by Superhero

With the Superhero wallet, the haeckathon participants will be able to send and receive some crypto-love during the haeckathon. Have you ever received a tip during a video-conference?
