Drawing upon the functional characteristics of blockchain technology, this article envisages the feasibility and reliability of developing a charity donation service system loaded onto blockchain in response to the complex service demands encountered by charity operators due to the Covid-19 epidemic. With blockchain technology's support as the underlying data book, this article focuses on the practical issues of charity donation fund and material allocation, as well as information release and sharing, charity donation organization, and organization self-management. The paper thereby discusses the key technologies in terms of overall structure design, specific service sector, and functional design of the donation service system and further summarizes the operational mechanism of the system as combined with the needs of help-seeking, receiving, and management users. It is argued that all the above proposals have the potential to alleviate the trust crisis of charity services in China in view of low transparency. The paper expects to provide a useful reference for charity business innovation propelled by blockchain technology.
本文借鉴区块链技术的功能特性,针对新冠疫情下慈善运营机构面临的复杂服务需求,设想开发一个基于区块链的慈善捐赠服务系统的可行性与可靠性。以区块链技术作为底层数据账本支撑,本文重点关注慈善捐赠资金与物资分配、信息发布与共享、慈善捐赠组织及组织自我管理等实际问题。进而从捐赠服务系统的整体结构设计、具体服务板块及功能设计等方面探讨关键技术,并结合求助、接收及管理用户的需求进一步总结系统的运行机制。鉴于透明度较低,本文认为上述所有提议均有缓解中国慈善服务信任危机的潜力。期望本文能为区块链技术推动的慈善业务创新提供有益参考。
