Blockchain Reparations Using Pi Coin
February 8, 2026
Blockchain Reparations + Pi Coin
A Transparency-First Reparations Pilot by the Reparations Labor Union
Blockchain Reparations is a civic-tech pilot project of the Reparations Labor Union exploring how digital tools can support economic repair, community accountability, and transparent distribution.
We are starting small, with integrity, and with what we already have.
Why Pi Coin?
Pi Coin is a digital currency designed to be more accessible than traditional cryptocurrency. Instead of requiring expensive computers, Pi can be mined on a phone, making participation possible for everyday people.
For our community, Pi is meaningful because it represents:
access without gatekeeping
value created through participation
a global network with low barriers to entry
a tool for local exchange and community trade
We are not using Pi as hype.
We are using Pi as a pilot tool for repair, transparency, and independence.
Founder Contribution
This initiative begins with a founder contribution from Anita Belle:
Total Pi mined: 518+ Pi
Pi available on Mainnet (treasury): 386.93 Pi
Mainnet Pi is the portion currently available for exchange and community use. Additional mined Pi may be locked, pending migration, or otherwise not yet available.
What Blockchain Reparations Means
Reparations are not revenge.
They are repair.
Reparations mean:
accounting for stolen labor and stolen opportunity
restoring what was extracted
repairing generational harm with measurable outcomes
building systems that prevent the harm from repeating
Blockchain technology can help because it enables:
transparency
public accountability
auditable records
democratic decision-making
community-controlled distribution models
Who This Pilot Is For
The Reparations Labor Union’s pilot project is building toward transparent distribution models designed to benefit people of African descent, including the African diaspora.
As our pilot expands, the intended beneficiary community includes people who are:
at least 1/8 African descent, and
prioritized for Foundational Black Americans, Afrodescendants, and Africans, consistent with reparative purpose and historical harm.
Eligibility, verification, and privacy standards will be published as the program scales.
How Pi Will Be Used
We are building a small-scale pilot that uses Pi Coin for:
1) Local Exchange
We aim to accept Pi Coin for select items and services through the Exodus to Mars shop and events, creating a community exchange loop.
2) Paying Black Creators and Vendors
As the pilot grows, Pi may be used to pay:
designers
editors
artists
educators
local vendors
community organizers
3) Microgrants
We plan to launch small community microgrants funded through Pi and other donations, with transparent criteria and public reporting. Microgrants are intended to support economic repair and stability in the beneficiary community.
4) Building a Reparations Ledger
Every Pi donation and disbursement will be recorded in a public transparency ledger to prevent misuse and build trust.
5) Testing Fair Distribution Models
We are building pilot frameworks for:
community voting
identity-safe verification
transparent criteria
anti-fraud safeguards
equitable distribution
The goal is to develop a model that can scale into larger programs without losing integrity.
Transparency Promise
Blockchain Reparations is built on one principle:
Trust must be earned.
We publish a transparency ledger to show:
what came in
what went out
when it happened
and what it supported
We report digital assets in native units (example: Pi) unless otherwise stated. Any USD equivalents, if shown, are estimates for reporting purposes only.
DAO Governance (Coming Soon)
We are building toward a community governance model that functions like a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization).
This means:
proposals can be submitted
the community can vote
funds are distributed based on rules, not favoritism
We will begin with a transparency-first model and expand governance as participation grows.
