CHATS (Convexity Humanitarian Aid Transfer Solution) is a blockchain-based ecosystem designed to secure and automate humanitarian aid, offering products, specialized dashboards, and tools built to serve four primary user groups:

For NGOs (Executing Agencies):

For Donors (Philanthropists & Agencies):
