Bullish交易所筹备做七周的私测时，测试服包括三个带现金奖的交易游戏，那时候我们也清楚，很可能不是每个获奖者都能拿到现金奖。
原因是一些司法辖区对交易游戏有各种限制，包括设置了奖金天花板等，所以私测一开始我们就告知参赛者，如果获胜者没有获得奖金的资格，我们就会把奖金捐给慈善机构。
我们老板的想法很简单：捐给慈善组织就可以了。但是到底捐给哪个组织？Bullish交易所的产品营销经理Cindy Lee就行动起来了。Cindy和香港的市场和公关部同事一起锁定了七个潜在的非营利性组织。
它们有什么共同之处吗？它们都和加密货币或区块链有些联系。“知道公司决定捐赠部分奖金我很高兴，”Cindy说，“这是Bullish第一次这么做，它有特殊的意义。”
2021年9月13日，体验版交易游戏完成测试，四个韩国获胜者都选择把多余的奖金捐给“拯救儿童（Save the Children），”该机构捍卫全球儿童的权益。2013年台风海燕袭击菲律宾和东南亚时期，它成为第一个接受比特币形式捐款的国际非营利性机构。
11月，这个活跃了一个多世纪的组织收到了一笔13.424万美元的捐款。“这笔捐款在我们意料之外，我们也感到很惊讶。”这个总部在康涅狄格州的机构的首席科技/市场/创新顾问Ettore Rossetti说。“当然，我们很感谢这笔捐款，尤其是在今年有这么多小孩需要帮助的情况下。”
全球3,300多个个人和机构参与者已经利用模拟加密资产和纸钞参与测试Bullish交易平台、在三个交易游戏中竞争，这三个游戏提供了总计525,000美元的奖项。
另外一个受赠方是区块链教育网络（BEN）。交易游戏其中一个获奖人没有领取奖金，所以BEN获得了$100,000的捐款。这个国际组织在六个大陆有60多个分部，它致力于搭建一个学生组织网络，促进区块链教育、创新和发展。2014年，密歇根、MIT和斯坦福的比特币俱乐部成立了该组织，现在它已经在全世界发展了几千名成员，目前它关注的是拉美、非洲和印度等新型地区的儿童。
“我们对Bullish的母公司Block.one很熟悉，但是之前我们和Bullish倒是一点接触都没有。”BEN的主席Erick Pinos说，“我们很高兴能获得捐款，这样我们就可以扩大我们在更多地区的教育项目。同时，有些学生在区块链生态上有导师也有联系，我们也会用这笔钱帮他们做好自己的小买卖。”
BEN希望到2031年能够让100万人接受区块链教育，毕竟他们注意到有35亿多的成年人缺少基本理财观念，超过17亿成年人甚至没有银行账号。最近它在做的项目是教波多黎各的男生&女生俱乐部如何从绘画中创造自己的非同质化代币，它还和伊斯坦布尔大学合作推出区块链课程。
“拯救儿童”组织相信每个儿童都应该有未来。成立一百多年来，它们已经拯救了十多亿小孩了。在美国，在世界各地，它们给儿童带来了健康、学习的机会、和免受伤害的可能。它们为孩子做了各种努力——包括日常的以及紧急时刻的。拯救儿童组织是加密货币社区的新宠。
Cindy说，这两个机构刚好取得了平衡。“一个是著名的组织，另一个是我们行业内的新组织，”她说，“它们共同构成了我们信奉的优良使命。”

When our Bullish exchange was planning for a seven-week pilot program that involved three trading games with cash prizes, we knew that it was possible that not every winner would be able to collect the prizes.
Because some jurisdictions have restrictions on trading games, including setting a ceiling for how much prize money can be collected, we made it known at the start of the pilot program that prize money would be donated to charity for any ineligible winners.
The solution from our bosses was simple: donate to charities. But which ones? Cindy Lee, manager of product marketing for Bullish exchange, swung into action to puzzle this out. Working with colleagues in the Marketing & Communications department, Hong Kong-based Cindy came up with a list of seven potential non-profit recipients.
The common denominator? They all had to have a connection with cryptocurrencies or blockchain. “I was really happy to hear that we had decided to give away some of the game prize money,” Cindy said. “It was really special for Bullish to be able to do this for the first time.”
Four South Korea-based winners of the trading games in the pilot, which ended on September 13, 2021, all picked Save the Children for their surplus prize winnings, The global champion for children’s rights was one of the first international non-profit organizations to accept a donation in bitcoin in 2013 when it was working on relief for Typhoon Haiyan that struck the Philippines and Southeast Asia.
The children’s charity that has been operating for more than a century received a wired donation of US$134,240 in November. “We were pleasantly surprised and puzzled by the unexpected donation,” said Ettore Rossetti, Lead Advisor, Technology/Marketing/Innovation for the Connecticut-based organization. “But we of course appreciated the donation especially this year when so many children need help.”
More than 3,300 users globally consisting of retail and institutional participants road-tested the Bullish trading platform using simulated crypto assets and paper money to compete in three trading games that offered a total of US$525,000 in cash prizes.
The other recipient was the Blockchain Education Network (BEN). Uncollected prize money from one of the trading game winners resulted in BEN receiving a cash donation of US$100,000. The international group, comprising 60+ chapters in six continents, focuses on building a network of student organizations for blockchain education, innovation, and development. Formed in 2014 by the bitcoin clubs from the University of Michigan, MIT, and Stanford, BEN has grown to thousands of members worldwide, with a focus in reaching students from emerging regions such as Latin America, Africa and India.
“We had no previous contact with Bullish before the donation, though we are very familiar with Bullish’s parent company, Block.one,” said Erick Pinos, President of BEN. “We were excited to receive these funds, which will help us scale our education efforts to students in more regions, as well as to assist students who are working on their own startups with mentorship and connections to the blockchain ecosystem.”
BEN aims to bring blockchain education to 10 million people by 2031, noting that more than 3.5 billion adults lack an understanding of basic financial concepts, and that over 1.7 billion adults worldwide don’t even have access to a bank account. Its recent programs include hosting a workshop for the Boys & Girls Club in Puerto Rico on how to mint their own Non-Fungible Tokens from drawings, and running blockchain courses with the University of Istanbul.
Save the Children believes every child deserves a future. Since their founding more than 100 years ago, they have changed the lives of more than 1 billion children. In the United States and around the world, they give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. They do whatever it takes for children – every day and in times of crisis. Save the Children has become a crowd favorite among the crypto community.
Cindy said that the two recipients were nicely balanced for these first gifts. “One is a well-known charity, and the other is a newer group that works in our industry,” she said. “Together they represent the type of good missions that we believe in.”
