presented by The environmental organization World Wide Fund for Nature and the Blockchain-business ConsenSys have a new platform for the promotion of sustainable and socially responsible projects. “Impactio” – the Name of the platform, is based on the Ethereum Blockchain and was on 24. September in the framework of the international charity conference, Concordia introduced in New York. In a press release, WWF-Director, Kavita Prakash-Mani indicates, the financing gap, which is the sustainability goals in the way:
