All charity proceeds are tracked on the immutable blockchain and confirmed by charity partners (e.g. Givewell and Charity Water).

Since launching the Charity Circle, Munch has managed to sign up 7+ established crypto DeFi projects to join the philanthropic movement with more projects in the pipeline. The first announced partner is the BankEth token, which just made a $10,000 donation to charity: water through the MUNCH Charity Circle.

Munch COO, Mike Si said of the announcement:

“We’re starting a new movement that encourages established and emerging players in the crypto space to give back and help others in a very simple way; it can be one-off donations, or a % automated from project fees and operations. Funds will be processed in a trustless manner through our on-chain contracts to support great causes, making MUNCH a hub for all crypto giving.

These initial partnerships are the start of a major step forward for the adoption of cryptocurrencies into more mainstream use.”

This initiative enables crypto projects to donate automatically and trustlessly to accredited and vetted charitable causes. By leveraging the technology and status of MUNCH, giving back can become part of any project. Donations will be routed to MUNCH charity partners at the time, chosen by its community from an approved short list. Currently, Munch is supporting charity: water, with over $150,000 in donations already received to fund 15 water projects.
