Sentinel Chain ICO Review - Manny Hernandez

in #sentinel7 years ago

What is Sentinel Chain?

The Sentinel Chain is a B2B marketplace specifically designed to provide affordable and secure financial services to the unbanked.

Current problem for unbanked sector:

I am very much impressed about the project. The reason being they are targeting a very niche problem of addressing the financial inclusion of farmers of various countries through collateralization (if that is even a word) of their livestock.

In the current situation, it is not effective providing loans on the collateral of cattle because there is no possibility of checking the ownership of the cattle and it is tough to monitor the cattle and provide a loan based on that.

The solution:

Sentinel chain creates a platform where farmers can get microfinance hedging their livestock through local financing companies.

Crossborder crowdfunding is made possible through the power of blockchain.

Sentinel chain blockchain platform facilitates the livestock owners to get their cattle get insured and maintain their health records of the cattle in blockchain in a much hassle free way.

Currently getting the cattle insured is a tough task.Sentinel chain makes it easier through its local insurance partners.

Loans

After the cattle are insured there comes the big responsibility of their getting the farmers the much-required loan.It is done with the help of partnering with local financing companies who know the local co-operation much better.
Sentinel chain does a due diligence in choosing these partners who understand the local co-operatives and lifestyle and financial situation of this marketplace.

Collateral:

Sentinel Chain also enables the local financial companies to use this collateral data to get loans from international financing companies

Crowdfunding:

Around the world, there are more like-minded communities and people who would like to fund this process.Sentinel chain enables the peer-peer lending through the usage of the blockchain.This crowdfunding is accessed by the local financing companies first and they use this funds to distribute among the local farmers who look for loan.

Community projects:

Apart from livestock collateralized loans, sentinel chain technology platform can be used to receive international crowdfunding local community development projects like humanitarian aid or disaster relief.

E-payments:

Using CrossPay Blockchain, token holders can make electronic payments to local merchants using the tokens

Why sentinel chain ico :

They are making great progress even before the start of their ico.

They have a simple android mobile app where farmers & Insurance companies can exchange data using multisignature.

you can see how the mobile app works.

Market potential:

To make you understand how big the market is I would like to give one small example which the CEO shared in his AMA with ohheymatty video call

They are currently focusing on Myanmar and Bangladesh to start with and the cattle in Myanmar is around 15 million and in Bangladesh, it is 17 million.

If a cattle get a loan of around 300–500 dollars based on their age,health ,weight,milking capacity ,then making a lending profit of around 20–30% of the loan got you can calcualte the market cap sentinel chain can get over the months and years when they scale the model. This is just one way of monetization and there are many ways the platform can be monetized.

They have right partnerships to start with.They have recently partnered with the Insurance provider and local finance provider who can give loans to farmers with livestock collateral.

As a community we need to back up projects that aim to help the unbanked to promote financial Inclusion. Projects like Sentinel Chain are the projects that blockchain was truly created for, to include those who have being rejected by our current systems.
