Billions Network Collaborates with Spanish Red Cross to Deploy 'Privacy-Preserving Digital Aid Platform'
Billions Network, in collaboration with the Spanish Red Cross (Creu Roja) and tech infrastructure company BLOOCK, has deployed a blockchain-based “privacy-Preserving Digital Aid Platform.” The system digitizes the entire aid lifecycle—from donation to distribution—creating an immutable audit trail while ensuring financial transparency for donors and protecting the dignity and privacy of vulnerable recipients.
Unlike some blockchain projects that rely on biometric or invasive data collection, this platform verifies aid eligibility and impact without recording recipients' personal identification. Aid is delivered through digital credits to personal mobile wallets, spendable via QR codes at authorized local merchants. This approach avoids stigmatizing “aid cards” and allows recipients to receive support without being tracked, profiled, or identified publicly.
The system uses cryptographic proofs anchored on the blockchain to verify transactions without storing personal data. The initiative is seen as a significant demonstration of blockchain’s social value, balancing accountability, privacy, and operational efficiency in humanitarian aid.
