Logos Circle Mexico City

Blockchain technology remains inaccessible for most Mexicans. Its concepts are rarely explained in everyday language, and the language is highly technical, with various anglicisms, and industry-specific terminology making it difficult to use.

As a result, blockchain feels distant and exclusive for tech savvy or mainstream institutions, preventing broad segments of the population from understanding or benefiting from it. Individuals such as homemakers, small traders, market workers, or professionals in traditional sectors struggle to see how blockchain or token-based economies could be useful in their daily lives.

The proposed solution is to create a WikiBlockchain: a knowledge resource that translates blockchain concepts into accessible language. It would address common questions, provide practical examples, and illustrate how different user profiles can employ blockchain tools—such as saving in stablecoins or protecting personal identity—according to their needs.

To achieve this, we would develop a chatbot system integrated into a GPT configuration delivering tailored explanations for people seeking to understand blockchain, generate examples relevant to their personal context and adapt its responses to diverse audiences (homemakers, small businesses, children, entrepreneurs, lawyers)

The AI powered assistant would have a broader coverage, producing grounded explanations adapted to specific sectors. The aim is to create a community app that helps ordinary people understand and use blockchain in ways that match their daily realities.

  1. Build a RAG system containing a curated library of blockchain knowledge written in accessible language.
  2. Generate prompts and response templates for major user groups and needs.
  3. **Integrate the RAG system with a delivery mechanisms for mass delivery and easy interaction.
  4. Ensure the information library is easy to update, expand, and refine as the ecosystem evolves.

To achieve adoption, we would:

  • create social-media content,
  • build a landing page to educate users,
  • target communication towards groups such as market workers, homemakers, entrepreneurs, small businesses, and professionals;
  • design messaging that addresses the concrete problems these groups face, prompting them to try the tool.

Esto es una muy buena idea señorita @MarianaNFT

Me gusta bastante y es verdad. Hasta para mi se me hace súper difícil de explicar muchos de estos conceptos a mi esposa :face_with_peeking_eye:

Aveces no se pueden traducir limpiamente algunos términos o ideas y me quedo sin saber que decir o como continuar.

Saludos desde Los Ángeles,

Interesting, what would be the “accessible language”? Spanish? I would expect there should be a lot of resources around blockchain in Spanish already - given the fact that it is the second most spoken language:)

So the question for me would be - is it about language barrier or about distribution, basic knowledge and understanding of “why” is decentralized tech important? Even if you serve it in front of them, will they care?

I can already talk to LLMs in Spanish:

Prompt: Can you give me an explanation of blockchain and why it is important (in context of Mexico) in Spanish? Be brief - just one or two paragraphs

Una blockchain, o cadena de bloques, es esencialmente un registro digital descentralizado e inmutable. Imagina un libro de contabilidad que, en lugar de estar en un solo lugar, se copia y distribuye entre miles de computadoras en una red. Cada “bloque” en esta cadena contiene un registro de transacciones, y una vez que se añade, es criptográficamente imposible de alterar o eliminar. Esta estructura garantiza la transparencia y la seguridad sin necesidad de una autoridad central, como un banco o un gobierno, que valide la información.

En el contexto de México, la blockchain es importante por varias razones. Ofrece una herramienta poderosa para combatir la corrupción al aumentar la transparencia en sectores públicos como la asignación de contratos o el registro de propiedades. Para los millones de mexicanos sin acceso a servicios bancarios, las finanzas descentralizadas (DeFi) basadas en blockchain pueden ofrecer una alternativa para enviar remesas, ahorrar y acceder a créditos de forma más barata y rápida. Además, puede asegurar cadenas de suministro clave, como la del aguacate o el tequila, verificando su autenticidad y origen, lo que protege tanto a los productores como a los consumidores.

Prompt: Do the same thing, but for a teenager - focus on their needs

Imagina que tu historial de WhatsApp no estuviera solo en tu teléfono, sino que todos tus amigos tuvieran una copia idéntica y al día. Cada vez que mandas un mensaje, se anota en la copia de todos y es imposible de borrar. Eso es una blockchain: un super registro digital que no es de nadie en particular y que nadie puede cambiar a escondidas. Es como un cuaderno de todos y para todos, donde todo queda grabado para siempre.

Para ti, esto es genial porque significa más control y menos reglas de “los adultos”. Por ejemplo, en los videojuegos podrías venderte un skin o un objeto raro que te ganaste con esfuerzo, y sería tuyo de verdad, como si fuera un objeto físico, sin que la empresa del juego te ponga trabas. También puede hacer que las cosas que compras, como boletos para un concierto, sean 100% reales y eviten que te estafen con falsificaciones. Básicamente, es una tecnología que te da más poder y seguridad en tu mundo digital, que es donde pasas gran parte de tu tiempo.

Anyone can use LLMs these days, so I curious how do you think you could convince people to use your system - I am not asking to say it is a bad idea, I am asking because given the winnable issue I posted I am curious about your thoughts on this - I think the distribution and getting people to see and use it is gonna be the hardest part.

EDIT: I was using Venice AI Pro - GLM 4.6 model for this

I like the direction of the idea, but I’m wondering if focusing only on simplified explanations might end up feeling very similar to just asking regular ChatGPT about blockchain.

Maybe it could be more engaging to give adults, teenagers, and even small communities something they can actually try, not just read.

For example, a few ready-to-use or cloneable mini-experiences:
• a private messaging space for friends
• a small shared information ledger for a group or class
• a simple “community identity” system
• a transparent contribution or micro-donation log

Something people can experiment with and personalize, so they get a real sense of how decentralized tools work in practice.

That could make the project feel more unique and more useful than explanations alone.

This is a great idea, that could be very educational actually. I love it.
