BABB utilizes blockchain and digital identity technology to build a borderless global network where everyone can freely participate, leverage their social connections for trading, issue digital currencies, borrow money, or raise funds for businesses.

I. Project Introduction
BABB is a decentralized bank designed for the microeconomy. It offers individuals and businesses a UK bank account powered by blockchain technology. Accounts are managed through a smartphone app and come with a decentralized payment card. Additionally, it integrates and issues other digital currencies globally in collaboration with central banks, further stimulating local microeconomies and expanding the reach of BABB solutions and its underlying BAX token.

Project Features
BABB leverages blockchain, biometrics, and machine learning to provide revolutionary decentralized banking services to people worldwide. Regardless of background, status, or income, BABB provides a UK bank account to anyone in the world, contributing to increased financial inclusion and social integration while allowing local economies to create wealth for themselves.

At its core, BABB builds a decentralized bank powered by blockchain, operating with full reserves and integrating digital currencies worldwide.

BABB will offer a UK-compliant bank account on the BABB platform, accessible to any eligible individual or business worldwide without requiring a UK address or credit history. Opening a UK bank account with BABB only requires valid identification documents, such as a passport or ID card. Individuals without identification documents can still access basic account services using biometric authentication and endorsements from identified individuals.

Application Scenarios

Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) and Faster Payments in the UK
With a BABB UK account, users will enjoy seamless integration between traditional banking and blockchain-based bank accounts. Alongside a traditional crypto address, BABB accounts are issued with a European and international bank transfer IBAN (International Bank Account Number), a sort code, and account number for transactions in the UK. This enables funds to flow directly in and out of the banking infrastructure, maximizing the usability of BABB accounts. This is a key bridge linking BABB with the existing financial system, facilitating funds in and out, especially for large amounts.

Mobile App
Through the BABB mobile app, anyone can easily create a bank account. It's as simple as "taking a selfie and humming a tune." A basic wallet account can be activated without any identification documents. Uploading any form of ID or being referred by someone already verified within the system enables the creation of a basic bank account. Businesses and individuals can control their funds from anywhere with internet access using BABB. BABB supports traditional banking functions, such as transfers, payments, deposits/withdrawals, and other peer-to-peer transactions using smart contracts.

Black Card
The BABB Black Card is a secure payment card directly linked to your BABB bank account via a QR code or NFC. It can function as a debit card or be issued to you as a prepaid card for your friends and family. This design makes the card simple and elegant, eliminating the need for a chip or PIN code. The BABB Black Card allows you to spend funds from your BABB bank account in stores or to individuals (peer-to-peer). Retailers only need to download the BABB app to accept payments via QR code or NFC. Payments are instant to the retailer's bank account, making funds immediately available.

BABB (BAX) Decentralized Bank Designed for the Microeconomy
The BABB Black Card paves the way for a new breed of bank cards that do not contain any personal information on the card itself, greatly enhancing security. If the card is lost, it's easy to disconnect the card from your bank account, preventing unauthorized use. If you find the card again, simply scan the QR code on the card with your BABB app, and it will reconnect to your BABB bank account. If the card is permanently lost, it can be obtained cheaply from major online retailers and delivered the next day. Alternatively, you can request a replacement card from a friend or print a less durable but equally functional card.

Technical Overview

Blockchain
The blockchain is a secure, transaction-based, distributed database shared by all participating entities in a decentralized computer network. It records and stores transactions – the transfer of information between entities in the network – essentially eliminating the need for "trust" and centralized third parties. This information can be digital currencies, identity data, or any other type of structured data. Blockchain is a fundamental technology on which many of BABB's core services rely. It serves multiple purposes, not only recording transactions but also notarizing identity data and providing a secure channel for data sharing between different participants in the network.

Interconnectivity
Blockchain activity is validated through the use of a standard blockchain consensus scheme with verifying nodes interconnected. Participants join the network, and initial nodes are managed by the BABB platform. Key participants, including central banks and regulators in specific jurisdictions, also run their own nodes. This ensures collective oversight and transparency while allowing for multi-jurisdictional activity.

Smart Contracts and Rules
The rules governing BABB accounts will be encoded into smart contracts: transferring funds, managing data privacy, etc. Additionally, rules set by central banks regarding funds under their control will be encoded into smart contracts on the blockchain for specific currencies.

Tokenization of FIAT Funds
One of the main uses of blockchain in BABB is storing the ledger containing bank account balances and associated transactions. For this purpose, any FIAT funds existing in the traditional banking system are represented as a token on the blockchain. Once funds are tokenized, users can transact them without any intermediary involvement.

Control and Self-Decision Making
BABB account holders manage their funds on the blockchain. Users can transact on the BABB blockchain without explicit approval from any intermediary or central entity. In other words, any account holder can transact their funds as long as they possess the necessary private keys and adhere to the rules set in the smart contracts governing the network.

Privacy
Transactions and the use of private data, such as user identities, require the user's unique private keys, which are stored on their device. Under no circumstances can third-party services access any user's private keys, act on their behalf, or acquire user data without explicit user authorization.

Recovery and Inheritance
To ensure only the user can access their funds, any private keys must be stored solely on their device. This means that if the device is lost or stolen, using the funds could be risky. To maintain user-friendliness and prevent loss of funds, additional mechanisms must be implemented for recovery and inheritance.

In simple terms, in recovery scenarios where a private key is lost, a designated group of individuals will authorize a new private key associated with the identity, allowing that individual to reaccess their account. In inheritance cases, designated individuals will attest to the occurrence of such an event and authorize payment to the designated beneficiary, which will also trigger any regulatory reporting obligations under the bank account's jurisdiction via a smart contract.

Hybrid Cloud
One of BABB's core objectives is to build a decentralized ecosystem that persists even if some of its participants fail. Multiple participants in this ecosystem have different roles and permissions.

Identity and Data
A key aspect of BABB is how it handles individual identities and data, how they evolve over time for individuals, and how it increases the level of certainty considering additional services used and reduced limitations.

Data Architecture
A unique digital ID is created and stored in the interconnected blockchain environment, representing an identity. A key pair is issued to the user, with the private key stored on their device. The user can combine additional devices, therefore generating separate key pairs.

Biometrics
The primary method for maintaining a digital ID is by acquiring and processing biometric data, mainly facial recognition through liveness detection and multi-voice analysis. This allows us to provide any individual with a new account so they can begin using basic services without a lengthy registration process.

Peer-to-Peer Identity Verification
Within BABB, users help verify other users' identities. Each user who has gone through the full identity verification process can vouch for other users on the platform, thereby assisting in validating their identities. Additional verification is conducted through the analysis of social graph information whenever available and authorized by the user.

Extended Identity Verification
Beyond biometrics and peer-to-peer confirmation, users will be required to provide multiple methods of proving their identity, such as providing additional documents, or electronic identity verification mechanisms if available, to access more services and remove limitations.

Security and Risk
A set of practices guide our security plan, rooted in modern established security standards, with particular attention to the decentralized parts of our infrastructure and operations. This ensures our adherence to guidelines, such as OWASP, PCI/DSS, PSD2, and other relevant security directives.

Human Resources
For employees, we have a strict recruitment process and require background checks. Employee accounts across different systems are configured for access with multiple factors, whenever possible utilizing hardware tokens and authentication through PKI (Public Key Infrastructure), with clearly defined privileged access rights and segregation of duties authorization.
