WishKnish Corp | Council for Inclusive Capitalism

WishKnish Corp. is a blockchain technology company based out of the Washington, D.C. area. With a focus of integrating impact and technology leadership, WishKnish has created a highly-secure, flexible, environmentally-friendly, low-code to no-code distributed ledger platform called Knish.IO, addressing challenges of data-heavy industries such as e-commerce, supply chain, and mission-critical communications. The modules WishKnish supplies are: - KnishOS: operating system for the metaverse, made to launch interoperable dApps and digital and Phygital NFTs and track digital identity in a low-code to no-code setting - KnishKits: deploy decentralized hyperlocal marketplaces to keep online spending from bleeding out of vulnerable communities - KnishPass: supply chain track-and-trace system for creating and managing digital twins of physical and digital assets - KnishAid: whistleblowing and personal safety framework - KnishSec: quantum-resistant communications channel for highly sensitive, realtime peer-to-peer communications for IOT and defense application

Purpose

WishKnish was created with an eye toward using sustainable, innovative technology to foster equity and generational wealth in underserved communities. Working with for-profits and non-profits, we are focused on the three T’s of Web 3: trust, truth and transparency.

Summary

WishKnish Corp is addressing sustainable ecommerce and equity being grown in historically disenfranchised communities through partnering with local stakeholders by January 2024.

Activities & Initiatives

The COVID-19 crisis has exposed the profound vulnerability of small local businesses, and the fragile support systems that exist to keep them alive in a time of crisis. The problem is further exacerbated by large global retailers like Amazon and Walmart taking a substantial chunk of the now-homebound customer base. As a result, over half of small businesses that have shuttered during the economic slowdown may be gone forever, and over 40% of black-owned businesses are not expected to survive the downturn.

The solution lies in hyperlocality: by supporting local spending, roughly 68% of money spent continues to circulate locally, boosting business profits, tax revenues, and overall economic survivability. Knish.Kits allows local businesses to easily and rapidly deploy their products and services for sale to the community, organized under the umbrella of federated, regional business collectives and take advantage of a shared consumer base incentivized to spend locally and support their local neighborhood businesses.

Meanwhile, consumers register secure, anonymous accounts and share only the bare minimum information with the stores necessary to fulfill their orders. This helps ensure a strong focus on consumer privacy and optional HIPAA compliance, while still allowing for long-term trust to be built through purchasing activities and interactions with the merchants.

Measures & Targets

WishKnish Corp will track number of employees in small business, shortening of the supply chain and the increase in tax revenues in local communities.
