About Zlto

Zlto increases and tracks positive behavior for young people, transforming informal work into valuable data on emerging markets. Tasks completed by youth are validated using smart contracts, allowing users to earn our zlto digital rewards that can be redeemed at more than 1,000 partner stores across our marketplace of vendors. Each Zlto user’s work history, social impact hours, and spending history is tracked and stored as a “work asset” portfolio using blockchain technology, serving as a validated store of credentials for future employers while establishing an alternative form of credit for an otherwise financially underserved population. Current clients: Shoprite, Naspers, UN Women, Ikamvah Youth
