Medical Smart Contract Crypto Value Chain

Currently we are working with YouTube and Google Sheets to get the right controls in place – this has been a 6 year effort. In 2025 we will be moving from project funding to outcome income for all. Our plan is to also attach smart contracts to the crypto payments

Writing a smart contract with on- and off-ramps for fiat transactions, while integrating detailed processes for managing donations for a child in Sub-Saharan Africa, involves careful design, coding, and structuring. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how you could approach this:


1. Define the Goals and Flow of the Smart Contract

Goals:

  1. Facilitate the secure receipt of donations in fiat or cryptocurrency.
  2. Enable transparent disbursement of funds to intermediaries (e.g., outreach programs, surgeons, healthcare providers).
  3. Ensure verification of key milestones (e.g., the child receiving treatment).

Workflow Overview:

  1. Donor Interaction:

    • Donors can contribute using fiat or cryptocurrency.
    • Use fiat-to-crypto gateways (like MoonPay or Ramp) for fiat donations.
    • Donations are tracked on the blockchain for transparency.
  2. Verification Intermediary:

    • A trusted intermediary (e.g., an outreach program) verifies the child’s identity, need, and eligibility.
  3. Allocation:

    • Funds are locked in escrow within the smart contract.
    • Disbursement occurs upon verification of milestones (e.g., treatment scheduled, surgery completed).
  4. Completion:

    • Milestone completion triggers payments to service providers and other involved parties.

2. Write the Smart Contract

Technology Stack:

  • Blockchain: Ethereum (or similar platforms like Polygon for lower fees).
  • Language: Solidity (Ethereum’s primary language for smart contracts).
  • Oracles: Chainlink to integrate real-world data for verification (e.g., completion of surgery).

Core Features of the Smart Contract:

  • Donation Functionality: Accepts contributions in both fiat and crypto, using on-ramps to convert fiat to crypto.

  • Escrow System: Holds funds until milestones are verified by oracles or intermediaries.

  • Verification Logic: Implements conditions for releasing funds, based on data provided by the intermediary.

  • Reporting Mechanism: Ensures all transactions are publicly accessible for transparency.

Here’s an example snippet of a smart contract written in Solidity:

solidity

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

import “@chainlink/contracts/src/v0.8/interfaces/AggregatorV3Interface.sol”;

contract ChildDonation {
address public admin;
address public intermediary;
mapping(address => uint256) public donations;
bool public milestoneVerified = false;

event DonationReceived(address indexed donor, uint256 amount);
event MilestoneVerified(bool verified);
event FundsReleased(address indexed recipient, uint256 amount);

constructor(address _intermediary) {
admin = msg.sender;
intermediary = _intermediary;
}

modifier onlyAdmin() {
require(msg.sender == admin, “Only admin can perform this action”);
_;
}

function donate() external payable {
require(msg.value > 0, “Donation must be greater than zero”);
donations[msg.sender] += msg.value;
emit DonationReceived(msg.sender, msg.value);
}

function verifyMilestone(bool _verified) external {
require(msg.sender == intermediary, “Only intermediary can verify”);
milestoneVerified = _verified;
emit MilestoneVerified(_verified);
}

function releaseFunds(address payable _recipient) external onlyAdmin {
require(milestoneVerified, “Milestone not verified”);
uint256 balance = address(this).balance;
_recipient.transfer(balance);
emit FundsReleased(_recipient, balance);
}
}


3. Videos for Donors and Stakeholders

Video 1: Introduction to the Problem

  • Content: Show the child’s background and the challenges faced in accessing healthcare. Include visuals of the child, the living conditions, and the community.
  • Goal: Evoke empathy and highlight the importance of the donor’s contribution.

Video 2: How the Smart Contract Ensures Transparency

  • Content: Demonstrate how the blockchain ensures accountability. Include a walkthrough of how donations are tracked and milestones verified.
  • Goal: Build trust in the system by emphasizing transparency.

Video 3: The Journey of Hope

  • Content: Show the process from donation to surgery completion. Include steps like intermediary verification, treatment progress, and the child’s improved quality of life.
  • Goal: Showcase the impact of donations and encourage further support.

4. Addressing Verification Needs

Verification Components:

  1. Identity Verification:

    • Use decentralized identifiers (DIDs) for securely managing the child’s identity.
  2. Milestone Tracking:

    • Partner with trusted entities to report on treatment milestones (e.g., hospital admission, surgery completion).
  3. Oracles:

    • Integrate Chainlink to pull real-world data (e.g., hospital records) into the smart contract.

5. Integration with Fiat On/Off Ramps

  1. On-Ramps:

    • Use services like Ramp Network or MoonPay to allow fiat contributions.
    • Convert fiat into stablecoins or other cryptocurrencies supported by the smart contract.
  2. Off-Ramps:

    • Partner with local financial institutions to disburse funds in fiat to service providers.

6. Ethical Considerations

  • Privacy: Ensure all personal data about the child is protected.
  • Transparency: Use blockchain to provide an immutable record of transactions.
  • Local Empowerment: Collaborate with local intermediaries and service providers.

This system combines blockchain technology, ethical practices, and powerful storytelling to create a transparent, impactful way to support children in need.

Uploading a video onto a blockchain is a complex process because blockchains are not optimized for storing large files like videos due to scalability and cost constraints. However, there are ways to integrate video storage with blockchain in a decentralized manner. Here’s how you can do it:


Steps to Upload a Video Onto or Via a Blockchain

1. Understand the Role of the Blockchain

  • Blockchains are typically used to store references (hashes or metadata) to large files stored off-chain.
  • You store the video itself in a decentralized storage network like IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) or Arweave, and the blockchain stores the hash or pointer.

2. Choose a Blockchain Platform

  • Select a blockchain compatible with storing or referencing off-chain data.
    • Ethereum: Use smart contracts to link to video content stored in IPFS or Arweave.
    • Binance Smart Chain, Solana, Polygon: These offer lower fees and faster transaction times compared to Ethereum.
    • Filecoin or Arweave: Designed for decentralized file storage and can store videos directly.

3. Upload the Video to Decentralized Storage

Decentralized storage networks are designed for this purpose:

  • IPFS:

    • Install an IPFS node or use a service like Pinata for file uploads.
    • Upload the video, which generates a unique content identifier (CID).
    • Example:
      bash
      ipfs add your-video-file.mp4

      The command returns a CID, e.g., QmTzQ1c..., which serves as the address of your video.

  • Arweave:

    • Arweave provides permanent storage for files at a fixed cost.
    • Upload via the Arweave gateway or SDK.

4. Record the Video Hash on the Blockchain

Store the CID or Arweave address on a blockchain to create an immutable reference to the video.

  • Write a smart contract to store metadata and the CID. Here’s an example in Solidity for Ethereum:
solidity

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

contract VideoRegistry {
struct Video {
string cid; // IPFS content identifier
string title;
address uploader;
uint256 timestamp;
}

mapping(uint256 => Video) public videos;
uint256 public videoCount;

event VideoUploaded(uint256 videoId, string cid, string title, address uploader, uint256 timestamp);

function uploadVideo(string memory _cid, string memory _title) public {
videos[videoCount] = Video(_cid, _title, msg.sender, block.timestamp);
emit VideoUploaded(videoCount, _cid, _title, msg.sender, block.timestamp);
videoCount++;
}
}


5. Integrate Video Viewing

Once the CID is stored on the blockchain, you can retrieve and display the video using the CID. For instance:

  • A web application can fetch the CID from the blockchain.
  • Use the IPFS or Arweave gateway (e.g., https://ipfs.io/ipfs/<CID>) to stream or download the video.

6. Additional Features

You can enhance the system with:

  • Ownership Tokens: Create NFTs representing ownership of the video.
  • Access Control: Use smart contracts to control who can view the video (e.g., paid access).
  • Verification: Hash the video file and compare it to the on-chain hash to ensure integrity.

Considerations

  1. Storage Costs: Decentralized storage can incur costs. Estimate the size and duration of storage required.
  2. Scalability: Avoid directly uploading the video to the blockchain due to high gas fees and storage limitations.
  3. Legal Compliance: Ensure the video content complies with regulations and avoids sensitive or copyrighted material.

By using a combination of blockchain and decentralized storage, you create a transparent, verifiable system for uploading and managing videos.

Uploading a YouTube link (or any other video link) to a blockchain involves storing the link as metadata in a transaction or smart contract. Here’s how to achieve it:


Steps to Upload a YouTube Link to a Blockchain

1. Choose the Blockchain

  • Select a blockchain suitable for storing metadata:
    • Ethereum: Popular for smart contracts and metadata storage.
    • Polygon or Binance Smart Chain: Cheaper alternatives with similar functionality.
    • Solana: Known for high speed and low costs.

2. Write a Smart Contract to Store Links

Use a smart contract to store and retrieve the YouTube link. Here’s an example in Solidity for Ethereum or compatible blockchains:

solidity

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

contract VideoLinkRegistry {
struct Video {
string youtubeLink;
string title;
address uploader;
uint256 timestamp;
}

mapping(uint256 => Video) public videos;
uint256 public videoCount;

event VideoUploaded(uint256 videoId, string youtubeLink, string title, address uploader, uint256 timestamp);

function uploadVideo(string memory _youtubeLink, string memory _title) public {
videos[videoCount] = Video(_youtubeLink, _title, msg.sender, block.timestamp);
emit VideoUploaded(videoCount, _youtubeLink, _title, msg.sender, block.timestamp);
videoCount++;
}

function getVideo(uint256 _videoId) public view returns (string memory, string memory, address, uint256) {
Video memory video = videos[_videoId];
return (video.youtubeLink, video.title, video.uploader, video.timestamp);
}
}


3. Deploy the Smart Contract

  • Use a tool like Remix (Ethereum IDE) or a framework like Truffle or Hardhat to deploy the contract.
  • Pay the gas fees for deploying the smart contract to the blockchain.

4. Upload a YouTube Link

Once deployed:

  1. Call the uploadVideo function with:
    • The YouTube link (e.g., https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ).
    • A title or description for the video.
  2. The link will be stored on the blockchain, and the transaction ID will serve as proof.

5. Retrieve the Link

  • Use the getVideo function or a blockchain explorer to retrieve the video link and its associated metadata.
  • Alternatively, create a frontend application that interacts with the smart contract.

Frontend Integration

To make the process user-friendly:

  1. Build a web interface using React.js or similar frameworks.
  2. Use web3.js or ethers.js to interact with the smart contract.
  3. Provide an input field for users to submit their YouTube links.

Example code snippet for a frontend:

javascript
const uploadVideo = async (youtubeLink, title) => {
const contract = new ethers.Contract(contractAddress, abi, signer);
const tx = await contract.uploadVideo(youtubeLink, title);
await tx.wait();
console.log("Video link uploaded:", youtubeLink);
};

Cost Considerations

  • Storing a YouTube link is much cheaper than storing an actual video since only the link and metadata are stored on-chain.
  • For low-cost solutions, use blockchains like Polygon or Solana.

Security and Verification

  • Hashing: Store a hash of the link or metadata to ensure data integrity.
  • Ownership Verification: The uploader’s address serves as proof of who submitted the video.

By storing YouTube links on a blockchain, you create an immutable, transparent record of video references, useful for applications like content verification, decentralized repositories, or fundraising platforms.

The Solidity code has been updated to incorporate the detailed 63-step process you outlined. It also highlights potential weaknesses or areas needing attention, such as:

  1. Gas Costs: High transaction costs due to multiple steps and interactions.
  2. Delays in Execution: Steps that rely on external inputs (e.g., uploading YouTube links, verifying milestones) could introduce delays.
  3. Scalability: The complexity of managing multiple roles and states may affect performance under heavy usage.
  4. Security: Ensure proper validation for sensitive operations (e.g., payment, verification) to prevent misuse.

Transfers from Coinbase were instantaneous and close to no cost. Unfortunately their mechanisms have put things on hold for a month - as they have stops between Africa and Australia in place.
In Africa the team is now starting to shift round TZS - Tanzanian Shillings - early days
Working on YellowCard being our on off ramp as has a partnership with Coinbase and some pretty heavy hitters backed them in their latest round of funding
