Hedge for Humanity: The Manna Universal Basic Income Initiative

Abstract

This study focuses on the Manna project, a blockchain-based decentralized Universal Basic Income (UBI) initiative supported by the Hedge for Humanity foundation. The study is qualitative in nature, drawing on the Manna White Paper, the Mannabase Platform, Hedge for Humanity Foundation blogs, Blockchain literature, and Blockchain scanners. Manna aims to decentralize the distribution of unconditional income support by providing a technological solution to economic inequality and financial exclusion. Based on fundamental human rights, this approach utilizes the transparency and accessibility of blockchain to address income inequalities. Manna operates through Mannabase, a platform that verifies user identity and distributes weekly income based on certain criteria. The system supports security and sustainability with tools such as smart contracts and referral incentive algorithms. Manna was originally built on the Ethereum network, but due to high costs, it was moved to the Optimism network, a layer 2 solution. However, while the project was in the pilot phase, it tried to prevent fraud with filters such as sim cards, etc., but as of 2024, it activated the Gitcoin Passport application (anti-sybill) and accepts that users with a score of 6 and above have passed the proof of humanity. Although every user can connect a wallet to the MannaBase platform and claim 1 Manna$ per day, Manna$ is not enough to provide sufficient liquidity. As a result, blockchain-based systems have limitations such as the digital divide, regulatory gaps and financial volatility. Although the Manna initiative was not able to provide sufficient liquidity for Manna$, it offers a new approach to UBI applications from both a social justice and digital transformation perspective.
