Sidera and AidCoin together: First ICO to donate percentage of raise to charity via AidCoin

Sidera and AidCoin have signed an agreement that will improve the survival of endangered animals. Sidera commits to donating 1% of funds raised by its ICO to the World Wildlife Fund.

AidCoin is an interesting and promising project based on Blockchain technology.
A project conceived and developed by CharityStars, the auction platform for charitable fundraising. CharityStars has raised more than $13M supporting 500+ charities.

AidCoin believes that giving is intrinsic to a healthy society as it redistributes wealth and helps the less fortunate. But the act of giving to charity isn’t limited to individuals, it’s also something bigger entities, such as companies, can do. What’s more, AidCoin promotes the belief that corporate social responsibility should be a widespread practice not only among big international corporations but among smaller entities, too: even the smallest donations can add up to bring about world change.

That’s why just recently AidCoin has been developing partnership activities that see upcoming ICOs commit to donating a small portion of ETH that they’ll raise during their token sales through AIDChain. Not only does this accumulate funds for good causes but it also helps to demonstrate how crypto can be used for good, while adding to the donor’s marketing activities at the same time (even if it may not sound as noble as the other points mentioned).

“And today we’re truly delighted to introduce Sidera—our first partner of this sort, apart from CanYa, who also donated $26,000 worth of its tokens through AIDChain. After Sidera’s ICO, which will last from September 1-30, its team will donate 1% of ICO raised funds to WWF through AIDChain, enabling full traceability of the donated funds,” says Francesco Nazari Fusetti, AidCoin Co-founder & CEO.

Sidera combines IoT devices and Blockchain in order to make cryptocurrency payments accessible everywhere with their smartwatch?—?SmartBit. The device allows users to safely store & exchange cryptos, as well as pay anything with an instant exchange between crypto and Fiat currency, conveniently via POS. With partners such as IBM, Nexqo and Security Brokers it’s no surprise that their project is developing at such a fast pace and now they’ve decided to get involved in charitable activity with AidCoin.

Camillo Piscitelli, CEO and founder of Sidera says: “Here are several ways to make good deeds and improve the environment we live in. Thanks to AidCoin and CharityStars we can make use of Blockchain technology to actively contribute to the initiatives that have a remarkable impact on our world.

“We are proud and honored to devolve 1% of our fundraise to WWF. Their Cause is a cause that all of our team members carry deep in their hearts. Now it is our Cause too.

“The benefits for Sidera are not the most important thing when you want to operate in this sector. The greatest benefit is to know that you are improving things.

“We are doing it in the Blockchain field proposing a unique technology and we will do it with charity donating part of income of our sale. If the world can benefit from this, we can benefit from it too.
