Social Currency, ILLA
The use of the ILLA
The use of the illa begins digitally, through a mobile application. It is currently being used in the neighbourhood of Los Pajaritos, Seville. It was created with blockchain technology to make the exchange as secure, efficient and transparent as possible.
Goal of the ILLA
Its objective is to help the people most in need to buy fresh food from local shops in their neighbourhood. Therefore, we reduce their malnutrition and promote small shops.
Cultural identification
As the cultural identification of the coins is so important, the illa is converted into tangible banknotes and currencies. Specifically, one side of the coin has been designed by a student at the Victoria Diez school in the neighbourhood Los Pajaritos. The other designs of the coin and banknotes have been created by local and international artists.
Collecting donations
The physical currency and banknotes had a presence in the Seville fair and were used in the form of fair tickets in the booths. In this way, the coins that are purchased and kept as souvenirs provided a donation to the neighbourhood of Los Pajaritos. It will also be used in the same way at local events and festivals to collect donations.
