1. Can you please tell us more about the story behind The People’s SCE?

Sure! The People’s SCE was formed to empower businesses and communities of their own financial destiny. It is a decentrally governed organisation (DGO) that enables its members to partake in community decisions, grants voting rights, and seeks to enhance inclusivity in an increasingly centralised economic landscape. The People’s SCE helps power applications built on the eCredits blockchain. Together with eCredits, it helps to create a more democratic, transparent and inclusive financial ecosystem operated by and for its users.

2. What is unique about The People’s SCE and what are you aiming to achieve by being a part of this initiative?

European SMEs form the backbone of the continent’s economy accounting for more than half of its total GDP. However, with the global economic landscape looking increasingly bleak in light of rising inflation and recession, consumers and businesses are at risk of being left behind. 

What The People’s SCE is aiming to achieve is to establish a people-centric system that amplifies the needs of the community over centralized industry players. This is secured by imparting each member with a ‘one vote’ policy, granting everyone an equal voice, and equal access leading to a non-hierarchical community. We’re building an inclusive, secure and democratic community where members can voice their concerns and opinions on new features and partake in upcoming votes on key initiatives.

3. Looking ahead, what is the team planning for the ecosystem?

We have a steadfast vision to create a fairer financial system that imparts all its participants with an equal opportunity to thrive. eCredits is the world’s first truly democratic, decentralized, and people-centric currency for everyday life which will help empower millions of people and small businesses across Europe and the world.

In line with this, we have a number of exciting projects in the works that we are working hard to bring to the market. Most recently, we launched our eVault feature that enables our users to earn rewards for committing their eCredits (ECS) on the network for a fixed period of one year. The eWallet app is available in various subscription tiers which include free, gold and platinum tiers, with each tier increasing rewards for subscribers. Be sure to follow us on social media to be the first to hear about our other upcoming features and projects!

4. How can interested parties find out more about you and the project?

Our various eCredits social media channels are open to everyone and anyone! I would encourage people to sign up and explore the various conversations happening there. You can engage with us and the broader community — you will see we’re quite active online. There are so many brilliant people sharing their ideas, feedback and knowledge with us. If anyone is interested in taking part in our growing community and contributing their opinions and ideas no matter how big or small, then we would encourage you to connect with us on our Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook channels.
