A Filipino-first transparent donation platform that uses Soroban smart contracts to turn online donation drives into verified, milestone-based aid campaigns.
During crises, transparency in how donations are distributed is often lacking, leading to mistrust. Aid distribution can be slow, inefficient, and susceptible to fraud. Donors want absolute assurance that their funds directly reach the intended beneficiaries.
Existing platforms treat the transaction endpoint as the moment funds hit the campaign creator's account — after that, the money enters a black box. Scammers exploit this exact gap: building compelling narratives, collecting funds, withdrawing, and vanishing. The core issue is post-donation accountability.
Data point: GoFundMe created 1.4 million unauthorized charity pages, siphoning search traffic and applying a default 14–16.5% tip that stayed with the platform rather than reaching actual charities. — Coalition of 20+ state Attorneys General, March 2026 · CBS News · Momentive Software
To create a fully transparent, blockchain-powered ecosystem where every peso donated is tracked, verified, and efficiently disbursed to verified beneficiaries — restoring absolute trust in charitable giving.
LINGAP bridges the gap between donors and verifiable causes. By leveraging blockchain technology, aid operations become immutable, auditable, and transparent, protecting both the donors and the beneficiaries.
If your platform simply records that a donation happened, it is just a public ledger — it does not prevent scams. What is missing is control over fund utilization. LINGAP solves this by replacing the organizer as the custodian of funds with a self-executing smart contract on the Stellar blockchain. Donated funds never touch the organizer's wallet. Instead, they are held in a programmable escrow that can only release money to pre-verified institutional wallets (hospitals, pharmacies, schools) and only after conditions defined at campaign creation are satisfied.
A donor is no longer paying a person. A donor is paying a contract. And unlike a person, a contract cannot lie, cannot disappear, and cannot be bribed.
- Donors — Individuals and organizations looking for transparent, verified campaigns to support without fear of fraud.
- Beneficiaries — Filipinos in need of medical, educational, or disaster relief assistance.
- Aid Organizations / NGOs — Groups needing a reliable, transparent platform to manage campaigns and disburse funds securely.
