How Phygital Works
Physical Meets Digital
We connect traditional food donations with blockchain technology, creating a “phygital” (physical + digital) ecosystem that brings transparency to charitable giving.
Donate, Get an Impact Certificate
Make a donation and receive an Impact Certificate NFT minted automatically — your receipt, badge, and membership card. It proves the meals you funded, and updates with video proof once the delivery is filmed.
Transparent Impact
Every transaction, every meal, every impact is recorded on the blockchain. Donors can track exactly where their contributions go and see the difference they make.
Our Journey

Frequently Asked Questions
How does blockchain technology help with food donation?
Blockchain provides complete transparency and traceability for every donation. Every transaction is recorded immutably, allowing donors to see exactly where their contributions go and how they're used to help people in need.
What makes Phygital Food Project different from other charities?
We bridge the gap between physical and digital giving through NFTs that represent real meals. Our blockchain-based approach ensures 100% transparency, and our “phygital” model creates lasting digital assets that commemorate your charitable impact.
How do I know my donation is making a real impact?
Every donation is tracked on the blockchain with real-time updates. You'll receive detailed reports showing exactly how your contribution was used, including photos and stories from the communities we serve.
Can I donate without buying NFTs?
Absolutely! While NFTs are one way to support our mission, we also accept traditional donations through our digital donation platform. All donation methods provide the same level of transparency and impact tracking.
How do you ensure food safety and quality?
We partner with certified food banks, licensed kitchens, and professional chefs who follow strict food safety protocols. All our distribution partners are regularly audited to ensure the highest standards.
What percentage of my donation goes toward meals?
90% of every dollar — whether direct or from NFT sales — goes to food operations (the meals). The remaining 10% covers essential administration. Gas/platform fees are covered from the donation amount for all contributions.
Are donations tax-deductible?
Not yet — we are not a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We are actively searching for a fiscal sponsor so we can offer tax receipts to donors. Until then, we keep costs minimal so your gift goes as far as possible.
Where do you operate?
We are currently based in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Our work began in Chicago, and we welcome community members who want to continue serving meals there. Contact us if you're interested in starting or continuing a chapter in your city.
