In the world of philanthropy, names carry weight, history, and intention. So when a platform as renowned as Angel Giving decides to adopt a new name, it’s an event worthy of celebration and reflection. We are excited to announce that Angel Giving is evolving into “Better Giving”. This new name is not just a rebrand, […]
Why You Should Donate to Long Tail Charities Charities are not all equal. Some are big and well-known, with large donor bases and marketing budgets. Others are small and obscure, with limited resources and visibility. These are the long tail charities, and they deserve your attention and support. What are long tail charities? The term […]
In the realm of philanthropy, nonprofits of all sizes strive to make a meaningful and lasting impact. While the primary focus often lies on fundraising and immediate needs, it is crucial for nonprofits, even small ones, to consider the long-term stability and sustainability of their operations. Those immediate needs often get in the way of […]

It isn’t just the crypto world that needs financial security. Every charity will have heard of examples of financial mismanagement that go way back in time, and scammers try it on all the time. Fortunately, no charity in the Angel Giving world has lost funds in this way. But thieves will always keep trying. So, […]
Spring has sprung! (well, for some at least…) In the Northern Hemisphere, spring is here – and spring is all about new beginnings. Plants are transformed from apparently lifeless roots under the ground to green shoots of life, or colourful buds that dot trees. Lambs and calves gambol in the fields and the strange warmth […]

The Angel Giving 10-point plan: We believe that donors want to see just what is done with their hard-earned donation. For crypto donors, they definitely want more to be done with their crypto donation than just have it exchanged into fiat currency such as dollars or pounds. After all, they often believe cryptocurrencies and blockchain […]
Welcome to Angel Giving’s first newsletter! OK, maybe not exactly the first we have ever written, but definitely the first as Angel Giving! Hopefully, you will have seen that the endowments for nonprofits & fundraising marketplace activities historically carried out through Angel Protocol have been rebranded to Angel Giving, which is a prime example of […]
Angel Protocol launched in 2021. Since then, more than 160 nonprofits have benefitted to the tune of over $2.5m and as we launch Angel Giving, our hope is for a future where simplicity is key. Where donors and nonprofits build a longer, more engaged relationship and where endowments reduce the strain of building a long term financial […]

Validator rewards are a cornerstone of this strategy. Angel Giving operates a number of cross-chain validators to support the decentralization of the underlying blockchain ecosystem, but also:
We currently validate on Kujira, Terra, and Juno blockchains. Rewards are harvested monthly, with $11,898 in rewards generated from December, and a total of $130,905 from May 2022 through December 2022.
These funds will be applied to:
Direct Charity Distribution: funds are directly sent to existing charity endowments on our marketplace, visible on our dashboard.
Angel Protocol Endowment: funds will be earmarked to seed $100 for newly on-boarded non-profit endowment accounts, visible on our marketplace.
AP Runway: funds will be used to support the ongoing operations of Angel Protocol until we’re able to raise additional capital to secure our runway, at which point all validator revenue will go 100% to charity
We believe blockchains can embed social impact on a foundational block by block level. Our 100% commission validators and Locked For Good program provide the infrastructure to transparently manage and generate revenue for donations in novel ways.
We do this in a low risk environment without comprising the overall value of the underlying ecosystem token, provide an on-chain transaction receipt, and connect you to a world of non-profits who can deliver on their mission of doing good.
If your community or validator is interested in embedding social impact in their operations, please reach out at hi@angelprotocol.io.
Validators secure the blockchain network, by running a full node and participating in consensus. This is done by broadcasting votes containing cryptographic signatures signed by their respective private key.
Validators commit new blocks in the blockchain and receive revenue in exchange for their work. They must also participate in governance by voting on proposals and are weighted according to their total stake.
Most networks have an ‘active’ set capped at a particular number (150 for Cosmos, 135 for Juno), based on respective delegation weight. The validator cannot participate in consensus or generate rewards until the stake is high enough to be in the top 150. Over time, the maximum number of validators may be increased via on-chain governance proposal (Cosmos Hub).
