Datasets prior to 2020 are pulled from the POA blockchain for each user ex. https://blockscout.com/poa/core/address/0xcb55fc893000a984a5ad73011f93d1540a5f0895/tokens
As well as user generated data and field surveys collected in Kenya. Fields described below.
Datasets Starting 2020 are pulled from the POA (xDAI) blockchain for each user ex. https://blockscout.com/poa/core/address/0xcb55fc893000a984a5ad73011f93d1540a5f0895/tokens
As well as user generated data and field surveys collected in Kenya. Fields described below.
Brief description: Using a simple feature phone interface with USSD each user (people living below the poverty line in Kenya) starts with 400 Tokens and adverstises what they sell on a digital market place avalaible on the same interface. There are no transaction fees. The tokens are used often as a top-up to missing Kenyan shillings. Certian users / vendors were allowed to send 50% of their tokens to Grassroots Economics (GE) in return for Kenyan Shillings on a monthly basis (see Agent transactions). Each user only has one token assigned to them by GE based on where they live (Currently we have moved all users to the Sarafu token while we prepare for the next phase). When a user sends a token to another user that holds a different token a conversion is made automatically after receipt. This conversion uses a bonding curve (based on the Bancor Protocol) to adjust the token prices relative to eachother. Conversions can be seen as transactions to a contract address then that contract address sending the new token to the user. While the exchange rate information is avaliable to users, practially all the tokens are curently considered ~1:1 with the national currency as well as with eachother.

1. transfer_subtype - internal typing: DISBURSMENT = from Grassroots Economics, RECLAMATION = Back to GE, STANDARD = a trade between users, AGENT = when a group account is cashing out (see held_roles) below
1. transfer_use - The category the sender marked the transaction as - used for 'confidence' later for the user category - note this will be changed to boolean
1. held_roles - Standard transactions are between Beneficiaries, anything to an Admin is a Reclemation or from and Admin is a Disbursment and anything to a Agent is a Agent_out
