Building financial safety nets for the gig economy workforce through blockchain technology
Velora is a decentralized benefits pool designed specifically for gig workers who lack access to traditional safety nets. We leverage blockchain technology to create a transparent, community-driven mutual aid system that provides financial security during emergencies.
By pooling contributions and enabling democratic decision-making, Velora empowers gig workers to support each other while maintaining full control over their funds through self-custodial wallets.
All transactions and decisions are recorded on the blockchain, ensuring complete transparency and accountability in how funds are managed and distributed.
Withdrawal requests are voted on by the community, creating a democratic system where members collectively decide how to support each other.
We believe in mutual aid and collective support. Every contribution helps build a stronger safety net for the entire community of gig workers.
Built on Celo blockchain with low transaction fees and mobile-first design, making it accessible to gig workers worldwide regardless of location.
Leveraging cutting-edge blockchain technology, identity verification, and UBI integration to create a modern solution for an age-old problem.
Two-tier system ensures everyone has access to their contributions while verified members can access additional community support during emergencies.
Gig workers make up a growing portion of the global workforce, but they lack access to traditional employment benefits like health insurance, unemployment benefits, and emergency funds. When unexpected expenses arise - medical emergencies, equipment failures, or income gaps - gig workers often have nowhere to turn.
Traditional financial institutions often exclude gig workers due to irregular income patterns, while mutual aid systems lack the transparency and scalability needed to serve a global workforce.
Velora bridges this gap by creating a decentralized, transparent, and democratic benefits pool that works for gig workers, by gig workers.
Built on Celo, a carbon-negative blockchain designed for mobile-first financial inclusion with ultra-low transaction fees.
Optional identity verification through Self Protocol enables higher withdrawal limits while maintaining privacy and security.
Integration with GoodDollar provides additional universal basic income opportunities for community members.
User-friendly wallet connection supporting multiple providers including email and social login for easy onboarding.
