growing number of social enterprises are adopting blockchain these days, tapping the technology’s ability to build safe, transparent networks. One recent example is COMMON, a social entrepreneurship accelerator and collaborative community based in Boulder, Col.
COMMON just introduced a cryptocurrency called COMMON Cents, to be used by members of its community. The aim is to reward and encourage collaboration among members, who are located in 21 countries. “We think it’s going to help free up time and space for members to support each other and collaborate more,” says CEO Mark Eckhardt.
