What is Machu Picchu?

Machu Picchu is an open-source, collaborative project focused on leveraging 21st-century technologies to improve the livelihoods of vulnerable populations.

This is Part 4, describing how we start in Machu Picchu.

How do we start?

In Part 1, we have seen the pains of humanitarians and the possible solutions using 21st century technologies. See Part 1 (pains and solutions) here (link).

In Part 2 we have listed the acute needs of humanitarians actions and how they are currently very imperfectly solved. See Part 2 (acute needs) here (link).

In Part 3 we do a deep dive in to the above use case and how they can be solved with 21st century tools. See Part 3 (use cases) here (link).

Now comes the question “How do we start?”

THE REST IS TO BE ELABORATED

1. Main enabler: Blockchain smart contracts, IPFS and Profile Monetization protocol
2. Main enabler: blockchain access via Account Abstraction
3. Main enabler: Mobile app
4. Main enabler: Field deployment and Local NGO training

We have to wait until the number of participating Persons in Need has grown to a significant population. Then we introduce Risk Sharing and Mutual Financial Support.

1. Decentralized Finance: Risk Sharing protocol
2. Decentralized Finance: Loss Assessment protocol (voters)
3. Decentralized Finance: AI Profile Neighbourhood (AI ‘word embeddings’)
4. Loss Assessment Support: Satellite Imagery Anomaly Detection
