* Blockchain
* Currently: We are on a public blockchain (Layer 2 side chain) called [xDAI](https://www.xdaichain.com/)
* Goal: To ensure decentralization, censor proofing and fair gas prices we plan to setup a validation node on this chain.
* Goal: To ensure decentralization, censor proofing and fair gas prices we plan to setup a validation node on this chain and look into possible Humanitarian Blockchains.
* Blockchain Contracts
* Bridge - in order to move between the xDAI side chain (Layer 2) and the Ethereum main net we need a bridge (hard spoon).
* Currently: We connect to the Ethereum Main net using the xDAI to DAI bridge.

* Contract Deployment (Currency Creation service)
* Currently: We currently deploy the Bancor Contract suite manually via Command line
* Goal: Both a USSD based and a web based interface for organizations and communities to create their own tokens
* Cloud server - is where we host all of our systems, Platform, Dashboard, future blockchain node.
* Currently: We are using AWS for instances and data storgage
* Goal: A cheaper alternative
* Dashboard
* Currently: [Our dashboard](https://dashboard.sarafu.network) uses a D3 javascript we also have an internal dashboard for CIC platform administrators. We are pulling data from an internal postgres database on the CIC Mgmt Platform as well as blockchain transaction data from BlockScout
* Goal: To have system related information available to field officers and users on Android phones and to pull data from our own blockchain node.
* Simulations
* Currently: We started with a home grown VIllage Market Simulator and are currently are developing and using a cadCAD based modeling simulation built by BlockScience
* Goal: To build on this simulation to validate and stress test economic models and to provide predictive analysis based on data
* Marketplace
* Currently: Grassroots Economics provides limited signage to users and marketing of products in the network is done by word of mouth, SMS messaging and a phone support team.
* Goal: A web based interface for organizations and communities to share offers and wants using CICs
* CIC Management Platform
* Currently: System admins (GE staff) are able to assist users to reset pins, reverse transactions, create new users. The system is build on React and Flask in Python and uses postgres for data stroage.
* Goal: Stabilization of the platform and synchronization
* Token Creation system
* CIC Token Creation system
* Currently: Manual contract deployment (command line)
* Registered organizations can submit an application to be an issuer they must have
* Registered organizations can submit an application to be an issuer, they must have:
* an audited and legally binding backing commitment signed by local government to back the total amount of a CIC .
* A collateral fund of at 25% of the tokens they want to create.
* This collateral can be pulled out of any CIC (such as those provided by an Aid CIC) or purchased
* Markeplace (Goods and services)
* currently: word of mouth
* A web based interface for organizations and communities to share projects, event offers and wants using CICs
* This collateral can be pulled out of any CIC (such as those provided by an Aid CIC) or purchased
* These new CIC tokens are created and the converter contract is given the sole ability to create and destroy them based on a bonding curve equation THe converter also holds the collateral (reserve or pool) of xDAI
* Cloud server - is where we host all of our systems, Platform, Dashboard, future blockchain node.
* Currently: We are using AWS for instances and data storgage along with postgress databases - Transactions are done here first then synced with blockchain
* Goal: Moving toward a webased wallet and cloud storage

* To visualize trade and the health of economies and communities

* You can send Mpesa (eMoney) to our lipa na Mpesa account – GE sees that and sends back tokens
* You can also send tokens to GE and GE sends back Mpesa from the float account (this is true in current state but very restricted)
* Goal: To make credit card payments available and streamline our fiat to token processes, blockchain integration
* You can also send tokens to GE and GE sends back Mpesa from the float account (this currently very restricted)
* Goal: To make credit card another other payment on and offramps available and streamline our fiat to token processes ... blockchain integration
* Goal: As there is imbalance in the float account – Tokens can be burnt (xDAI extracted – bridged to DAI (eg see xDAI.io) → converted to Eth and sold for KSH (BitcoinSuisse ~2% fee)
* If there is too much KSH – we would send it to (BitcoinSuisse ~2% fee) to convert to Eth then make DAI with it and bridge to xDAI (eg see xDAI.io)
* The float account balancing would happen on a monthly cycle (ideally) – initially manual and eventually automated

* Currently: Each user has a sim card and the Telecom provides KYC services - users are asked a pin number to access the account on USSD
* Goal: Creating a more robust ID system for users without sim cards. Possibly adding brightID social ID - like technologies
* Goal: Creating a more robust ID system for users with and without sim cards. Possibly adding brightID social ID - like technologies with confidence scoring or 3rd party biometrics
* Rewards and Incentives - [see specifications](./spec/001_platform_incentives.md)
* Currently: These incentive systems are a mixture of manual and CIC Mgmt Platform base, such as initial user air drop, referral bonuses and holding fees.
* Goal: Any org developing a CIC can easily establish various rules and policies
* Training Materials:
* Currently: We are developing curriculum, games and materials for training communities and CIC issuers
