This DeFi platform leverages cutting-edge blockchain technology to provide a level playing field within the capital markets by providing an alternative to the traditional model that requires reliance on established banking giants. Developed in reliance on a strong network of volunteers, the Digital SMART Notes Issuance Platform embodies the ethos of “by the people, for the people.”.

Digital SMART Notes Issuance Platform: A Paradigm Shift

The Digital SMART Notes Issuance Platform represents a significant advancement in financial inclusion to the last mile, offering issuers and investors unprecedented access to bond markets traditionally dominated by large financial institutions. By utilizing blockchain technology, the platform ensures transparency, security, and efficiency, enabling issuers to offer, sell, issue, and manage and for investors to purchase and hold bonds directly without the need for the usual large financial institutions acting as intermediaries.

Key Features of the Digital SMART Notes Issuance Platform:

• Decentralized Bond Issuance: Empower Corporate BizVault holders to issue bonds on a DeFi network, eliminating the need for traditional intermediaries and reducing the associated costs.
• Enhanced Transparency: All transactions are recorded on a public blockchain, providing real-time visibility into bond ownership and payment flows, thereby building trust among participants.
• Improved Efficiency: Blockchain’s automation capabilities streamline the bond lifecycle, from issuance to settlement to maturity, significantly reducing processing times and operational risks.
• Global Accessibility: Subject to restrictions of securities laws and KYC processes, this DeFi platform is accessible to anyone with an internet connection, promoting financial inclusion and enabling participation in the capital markets from underserved markets.

A Community-Driven Initiative

Developed in reliance on a strong network of volunteers, the Digital SMART Notes Issuance Platform embodies the principles of decentralization and community empowerment. This collaborative approach ensures that this DeFi platform remains aligned with the needs and interests of its users, fostering a sense of ownership and trust within the community.

About the Swiss Shakti Foundation

“Shakti” is an ancient Sanskrit word that refers to everyone’s innate potential.

A global active NGO, the Swiss Shakti Foundation’s mission is to end child poverty around the world by enhancing and promoting education. The Swiss Shakti Foundation’s project rewards parents and guardians with Shakti Coin (SXE) for their child’s school attendance, incentivizing education participation and accelerating UNESCO’s mission of “Education for All.”

Shakti Coin (SXE—Shakti eXchanged for Education) is a global stablecoin pegged at $5 USD per token. It is not fiat- or crypto- or commodity-backed. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, which link their fluctuating value to computational achievement, or stablecoins, which seek to ensure stability through an underlying collateral structure, the Shakti Coin’s stable value is based on intrinsic values; namely, the daily effort made by children and their parents and guardians to pursue education.

The Shakti Coin is the native coin of a Proof-of-Effort (PoE) protocol, the administration of which is delegated by the Swiss Shakti Foundation to its affiliate SXE Network Operations LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company. Shakti Coin transactions occur within an ecosystem that complies with its know-your-customer (KYC) and other anti-money laundering (AML) obligations and are secured by cutting-edge blockchain technology via a US DeFi network.

The Swiss Shakti Foundation’s project is a grassroots initiative that transcends industries, governments, faiths, and political ideologies.
