Speaking about the project, co-founder and CEO Pratik Gauri stated:
“5ire is on a mission to impact 1billion+ humans positively and prove a theory – You can be abundant if you do more good. We have created a marriage between the blockchain space and impact space.”
“We’ve built 5ireChain to eliminate intermediaries and bring all the impact makers onto a level playing field where they can use the shared language of the UN SDGs. We want businesses to act as a force for good and help move the world from a for-profit paradigm to a for-benefit paradigm, facilitating the transition from 4IR to 5IR”, said Gauri.
Co-founder & CBO Vilma Mattila added, “5ire envisions a future where the ecosystem is restructured as sovereign heterogeneous shards of a global network of connected chains — achieving true horizontal and vertical scalability that single chains can never achieve. It assures openness, unity of purpose, and inclusivity. Thus, shaping the ethics of business and collaborations toward sustainability while providing a cross-chain environment, plus advanced governance & rewarding mechanisms”.
