MAP
How it works

From funding to the tracking of every payment.

You choose who, when, how much, where and what for. MAP issues the earmarkable digital euro matching the funds received, checks every operation before it is executed and records every payment on a tamper-proof blockchain. This page describes the full journey, from budget to proof.

Four roles

Who does what in a programme

A programme brings four roles together around a budget. Each one decides what is theirs to decide, and sees what is theirs to see.

Funder
Decides on the budget, pays in the funds in euros and sets the rules. The funder is the one who chooses who, when, how much, where and what for. They find every payment of their programme.
The programme team
The local authority, the charity or the company that runs the programme day to day: enrolling beneficiaries, allocating budgets, adjusting rules, handling requests.
Beneficiary
Has a real account with an IBAN, a universal payment card, online payment, the QR code and the app. They spend freely, within the frame that has been set.
Supplier
Takes the payment like any other card payment, in store, online or by QR code. No specific equipment, no membership of a closed network.
MAP
Issues the earmarkable digital euro, applies the programme’s rules, checks every operation before it is executed and records every payment on the blockchain.

The roles stay distinct: the funder does not allocate individual budgets, the programme team does not issue the electronic money, MAP does not assess individual situations.

Budget life cycle

Five steps, from collection to tracking

The budget always follows the same path. What changes from one programme to the next are the rules written at step three.

  1. 01 Collection Funds arrive in euros: a transfer from the funder, donations, a fundraising pot, corporate giving, a grant. Every contribution is linked to the programme it finances.
  2. 02 Issuance MAP issues the earmarkable digital euro up to the funds received, one for one. Nothing is issued without funds received.
  3. 03 Earmarking Your rules are written before the first payment: beneficiaries, suppliers, geographic area, period, ceilings.
  4. 04 Payment The beneficiary pays an authorised supplier: payment card, online payment, QR code, transfer from their IBAN.
  5. 05 Tracking Every payment is recorded on a tamper-proof blockchain. Every role sees it, in real time.

AI supervision across the whole chain. It analyses the supporting documents, checks the programme rule, detects and blocks anomalies. 100% of operations are checked before execution.

Diagram of how it works. For a programme, the rules, the payment methods and what each role sees are settled from the first conversation and set out in the contract.

Rules before payment

You choose who, when, how much, where and what for

The rules are written before the first payment, and checked before every operation. They are not discovered after the spend.

Who
The beneficiaries enrolled in the programme, and nobody else. Instant activation of the account and the card.
What for
The suppliers selected, by name or by category.
Where
A town, a department, a region, France, anywhere in the world. Online payments allowed or not.
When
A period of use, with a start date and an end date.
How much
Ceilings per operation, per day, per month. Cash withdrawals allowed, capped or blocked.

Authorisations and settlements

An operation lives twice

Authorisation and settlement are two distinct events. Confusing them leads to two false readings of the same budget.

StatusEffect on the budgetWhat is kept
AuthorisedThe amount is reserved against the available budget.The rule checked before execution, the time stamp, the supplier.
SettledThe amount is charged to the budget used.The payment recorded on the blockchain: amount, supplier, date, rule applied.
RefusedNo effect: the budget stays available.The reason for the refusal, given to the beneficiary and to the programme team.

The control takes place before execution: an operation that falls outside the frame is blocked, not corrected afterwards. That is what allows us to say 100% of operations are checked before execution.

What you see

Each role sees what is theirs to see

This is not an overall report sent at the end of a period. It is the payment itself, in real time, in each role’s view.

The access rights applicable to your programme are settled from the first conversation and set out in the contract. No personal data are recorded on the blockchain.
RoleWhat they are shown
FunderThe budget and its consumption in real time, then every payment with its amount, its supplier, its date and the rule applied.
ContributorIn a fundraising programme, the use of their contribution, payment by payment.
The programme teamThe settings, the budgets allocated, the beneficiaries’ requests, the payments and the reasons for refusal.
BeneficiaryTheir balance, their payments, and the reason for a refusal concerning them.
SupplierThe payments they have taken.

Controls

Checked before execution, recorded after

Two distinct mechanisms, serving the same thing: being able to account for the funds.

AI supervision

Before execution, every operation is measured against the programme’s rules. The AI analyses the supporting documents, checks the applicable rule, detects anomalies and blocks whatever falls outside the frame. 100% of operations are checked before execution.

Proof on the blockchain

After execution, the payment is recorded on a tamper-proof blockchain: amount, supplier, date, rule applied. Neither MAP nor the funder can alter that entry. That is what makes compliance demonstrable rather than declared.
