IN 2023, Indonesia is expected to be affected by the global recession. Even so, it is projected that the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) business will have great potential for national economic growth.

Based on the records of the Ministry of Finance (Ministry of Finance), the role of MSMEs is very large for Indonesia’s economic growth, with the number reaching 99% of all business units.

The contribution of MSMEs to GDP also reaches 60.5%, and to employment is 96.9% of the total national employment absorption.

Realizing the great potential of MSMEs that can drive the national economy, Indodax and Ayobantu held a CSR program entitled “Indodax’s Love for the Nation: Help Empower Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)”. As #BrandCare for UMKM, Indodax is committed to empowering the Indonesian people in the economic field, including MSME business people.

In this CSR program, Indodax is providing assistance in providing carts as infrastructure that supports the convenience of MSME players in continuing their business. As a fellow businessman, Indodax CEO Oscar Darmawan considers that CSR in the MSME field is very interesting.

“The MSME sector is an essential sector that needs to be given full attention and support. This MSME CSR program is like us helping people, not by giving fish but by providing fishing rods,” said Oscar Darmawan as CEO of Indodax.

“I believe this assistance will be sustainable and continue to produce for itself. My hope is that this assistance will have a big impact on them,” he said. “I also believe that informal sector industry players are economic heroes in Indonesia. By providing the opportunity to grow to be even better, so that they can be beneficial not only for themselves but also for the surrounding environment,” explained Oscar.

For your information, Indodax’s Love for the Country is community development (community development) in the economic field, which is limited in terms of resources and access to outsiders to create financial independence, both for individuals and families using entrepreneurial activities.

For its implementation, this CSR program will be run by Ayobantu, an online donation platform that has been Indodax’s CSR partner since 2020.

Assistance will be provided in the form of capital in the form of a sales cart which can be modified according to the needs of beneficiaries and business assistance.

The implementation of the assistance program will be carried out at the end of November 2022, targeting MSMEs in the Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi (Jabodetabek) areas. Two MSME actors who have received assistance from this program are Mrs. Waningsih (a nasi uduk trader in North Jakarta) and Abah Tahrir (a traveling coffee seller who usually sells at Setu Cikaret).

Regarding this collaboration, Ayobantu Founder and CEO Agnes Yuliavitriani said that his party would always uphold the trust given by every partner who works with Ayobantu, including Indodax.

Therefore, he hopes that this program can participate in helping MSME players in Indonesia to maintain their business existence, especially in 2023 which is expected to be full of challenges.

“Starting a business can be likened to a marathon, which consists of a long and winding process with various challenges facing it,” said Agnes. “On the one hand, business actors, especially small and micro businesses, will certainly be open and helped by the support provided so that their businesses can survive, especially in difficult times in the future,” he concluded.

Lyfe has just launched new features called Lyfe Gold and Lyfe Silver. Both features use tokenization, to make trading in gold and silver to be more efficient, transparent, and cost-effective. Through integrating blockchain technology with the commodity market, Lyfe inspired to enables the deliverance of physical assets via a decentralized network system.

While trading gold has already become a common practice, people might not be aware that silver also has the same potential to be explored. One of the potential gains in trading silver is volatility that is higher than gold. Data shows in 2011, silver had reached its bullish cycle and pushed the metal up almost 500% from its initial price. Moreover, it also has far more usages for industrial purposes than gold, for example in the healthcare and electronics industries.

However, there is a common issue of investing or trading silver, which lies on storing method. Since it is cheaper than gold, people can buy more silver compared to gold. And as the price of 1kg of gold equals 65kg of silver, it will be a hassle to store up as it requires more storage space.

Therefore, to solve this problem, Lyfe gold and Lyfe silver are built on ERC20 technology. By utilizing blockchain, Lyfe can convert gold and silver into a token that can be securely traded and stored. Hence, users can buy and store gold and silver conveniently and safely, anywhere and anytime.

Lyfe gold and Lyfe Silver is available for purchase now on our official trading platform, Indodax.

Indodax collaborate with Ayobantu, a platform for crowdfunding and online donation, to held a fundraise relief program with a theme “Kenal Lebih Dekat” or translated as ”Get to Know Better” for artists whose livelihood are impacted heavily by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This fundraise relief program “Kenal Lebih Dekat” will be conducted every Friday from 16:00-18:00 WIB online, through live broadcast talk shows and music via Youtube Channel of Indodax and Ayobantu website. All the donations we get from these platforms will be distributed to designated artists in cash and supplies.

According to a survey conducted by the Indonesian Musicians Union Federation (FESMI) from 1,400 respondents in 22 provinces in Indonesia, 34.3 percent of musicians work at hotels and cafes, 12.9 percent work as professional musical accompaniment, up to 10.8 percent as teachers, record artists were at 7.1 percent, and digital content creators at 3 percent of all respondents. It shows that the majority of their income range is in IDR 100,000 to 10 million, which occupies 84,9 percent from the total correspondents.

In March 2020, the Indonesian Art Coalition stated that around 40 pre-planned concerts, tours, and music festivals need to be canceled or postponed due to the pandemic. These occurrences have brought massive losses for artists and people involved in art performances. Therefore, Ayobantu and Indodax organize this project to raise awareness and funds to support the livelihood of our Indonesian Artists.
