Modernizing Timebanking

Seva Exchange to use Blockchain and ML

Introducing Timebanking

Bringing timebanking (every hour of service is worth another hour of service) to the world using blockchain and AI was the goal of this project. I began volunteering with the Seva Exchange startup to design a prototype for a mobile app.

Seva means "service" in Sanskrit

What is Seva Exchange?

The Seva Exchange app is a combination of a social network, a volunteer hour tracking software, news feed, review system, and registration and profile.

We needed a way to show requests and offers with minimal information for scanning, but enough information to choose to tap on the card for more information.

Featured Activity promoted by the AI engine or by the Timebanking Coordinator
An opportunity to post a request
Ability to filter
Simplified Tab Bar Navigation

The profile includes not only reviews but Seva Coins earned and the ability to change your skills, interests, and settings

Features:

Profile picture, demographics, location edit

Meaningful Work

Making an impact

This project has the potential to restore the concept of community to our society. Reciprocal service is sustainable and dignified. It releases our hold on consumerism. I look forward to seeing the future of Seva Exchange.
