Meowcoin

The Meowcoin Mission

Just like humans, animals have been impacted by the pandemic since it hit in 2020. Many cats, who found homes during this time, have needed to be rehomed due to their owners not being able to care for them.

 

Many organizations who devote themselves to the care and relocation of our pets have been inundated with animals needing love and a new house to call their own. Sadly, they simply don't have the funds to care for all of them.

​

Our mission is to donate as much money as we can to animal shelters so they can care for as many animals as possible and give each one of them a chance at a happy life.

Crypto And Proof
Of Work

To fulfil our mission, we decided to look to cryptocurrency as a means of doing so. 

 

We have designed an algorithm where part of the block reward is retained so it can be sent to various animal shelters.

 

We'll keep a tally of all the funds we've donated so you can have the satisfaction of knowing your mining efforts have positively contributed to the lives of our furry friends. 

​

We also intend to tokenize pets and animals on the Meowcoin blockchain. This information is important to the animals ongoing wellbeing. Tokenizing adoption will also provide this information at the time of purchase and allows future pet owners (should that occur) to be
aware of the pet's relevant information without needing to check with previous owners or vets.

A Better World For Animals

We know that as miners, the best projects are the ones that are trying to do something more than just make money.

​

That's why we created Meowcoin. We know that miners have hearts of gold and would want to support projects that did a little bit more for the world we live in.

​

By mining Meowcoin you know that you're doing more than just securing the blockchain - you're securing a better life for animals around the world!

Tokenizing pets     The evolution of blockchain technology moving from peer-to-peer electronic cash to include asset creation has seen seismic growth in the sector. Non-fungible token (NFT) popularization among the cryptocurrency community has seen incredible investment by mainstream customers who, for diverse reasons, saw NFT’s a great bridge to entry. A great deal of discussions around the technology have taken place. Many have suggested they are fads, scams or have no true real world use case. Fair arguments could be made for the first and second, but the third - true real world use case - is worth engaging in. NFT’s offer the highest level of electronic security possible. With Proof of Work securing the assets, the opportunity to store and provide digital assets available and traceable at all times without fear of theft provides a strong framework by which businesses can provide increased customer value. It is fair to say the real challenge with asset and token technology is finding ways to implement it for valid reasons without alienating those who need to use it. Pet adoption is one of the opportunities to integrate blockchain technology that can benefit both animal shelters and adopters alike. By tokenizing pets on the blockchain important information regarding the asset can be lodged and made available for all to see. This includes:

•   Address of owner

•   Medical history

•   Microchip number

•   Animal lineage

•   Animal pedigree papers

This information is important to the animals ongoing wellbeing. Tokenising adoption provides this information at time of purchase and allows future pet owners (should that occur) to be aware of the pets relevant information without needing to check with the previous owners or vet. Additionally, it democratizes care of the animal independent of the vet as their medical history can be lodged on the blockchain, rather than a private database or server, to ensure all vets are able to access their records in times of need.
These details form the basis of the animal pedigree papers. Whilst breeders place increased importance on these papers for show purposes, digitizing them allows traceability across multiple generations. Breeders would be able to easily access and determine future mating pairs further than three generations (industry standard) as well as work toward limiting congenital issues that persist through breeding lines. Pet collars would be able to carry relevant and scannable tags that link to the information. This would assist in the returning of animals to owners should they run away from their homes. Meowcoin Is able to bridge this gap by providing a specialized tokenizing service for adoption shelters and breeders. This will allow registration of pets to take place easily and without fuss whilst allowing vets to tag the ongoing medical updates for a pet to create one cohesive and publicly accessible picture of the animal.
