Welcome to Episode 3 of Growing Good on Solana, our three-part mini-series where we dive into the Solana impact ecosystem and highlight visionary builders using Web3 to reimagine what’s possible for people and the planet.

This series is made possible thanks to support from Superteam Canada and their sponsors. Superteam is helping onboard a new wave of builders into the Solana ecosystem, and we're thrilled to be part of that mission and showcase impact-driven founders using Solana to build for good.

For the final episode in the series, we’re joined by Ashen of Telaga Charity, a crypto-powered nonprofit on a mission to meet the basic needs of those living in poverty in Indonesia.

We discuss:

🌐 How Web3 and online communities are unlocking a new wave of creator-driven philanthropy, turning giving into something participatory, inspiring, and global.
🔍 Why blockchain-powered transparency is changing the future of giving, making every donation traceable and every dollar accountable.
🍚 How Telaga Charity is transforming lives in Indonesia by funding education and food security initiatives with cryptocurrency donations.

--Key Takeaways--

🔍 Transparency Builds Trust: Traditional charitable giving is losing credibility, especially with younger generations. Telaga Charity shows how blockchain can rebuild trust by making every donation traceable, sharing their impact with the community, and positioning donors as true partners in impact.

📢 The Future of Giving Is Creator-Driven: Just as creators like MrBeast have redefined how younger audiences engage online, the creator economy is reshaping philanthropy. By blending influencer-style engagement with blockchain transparency, charities can reach and inspire a new generation of givers.

🌐 Why Solana? Community + Demographics: Telaga chose Solana for its strong support network, vibrant impact community, and younger demographic, many of whom have both the means and the motivation to give back through transparent, Web3-native platforms.
