Field Pilot Readiness
This is the path from a strong hackathon demo to a credible crisis-aid pilot: preserve the ZK settlement core, harden operations, and be honest about what needs audit.
Pilot Workflows
Creates campaign, funds escrow, approves issuers/vendors, pauses incidents, exports non-PII ledger.
Issues encrypted QR credential to approved wallet after local intake and policy checks.
Stores QR/payload, proves eligibility locally, claims cash or redeems voucher once.
Receives voucher payout only when approved and when the beneficiary proof is valid.
Reviews escrow, claim count, nullifiers, settlement events, and privacy boundary.
Production Gaps We Are Not Hiding
Run a multi-party ceremony or migrate to a setup model acceptable to partners.
Review circuit, verifier key encoding, Soroban contracts, and frontend threat model.
Validate workflow with an NGO advisor or small field simulation before real deployment.
Test QR import/export, offline handoff, passphrase recovery, and low-end Android proving constraints.
Define retention rules for local issuance logs, keyed identifiers, and incident response records.
Why This Makes The Submission Stronger
It shows ambition without pretending the demo is a real aid deployment. Judges see a working ZK + Stellar core today and a practical route toward field validation after the hackathon.
