They do the actual work of providing basic income. GiveDirectly selects recipients living in extreme poverty and sends them money on a monthly basis.
Glo generates basic income by investing in T-bills. Here's what that means.
For every Glo out in the world, we hold $1 in our reserve as backing. We invest in T-bills which earn interest. That interest is the money we give away as basic income. Investing in T-bills is the standard business model for stablecoin issuers.
