# Four problems

## **ivault mobilizes blockchain technology to help solve some of the critical issues of our time.**

1. **The world can’t wait decades for change**\
   Never mind the promises of COP28, or even COP 38. We need to cut overconsumption and the cost of living in months and years – not decades and lifetimes.
2. **Let’s face it: switching to paper straws won’t change the course of history**\
   We need a genuinely viable way to control the impact of our lifestyles. One that’s controlled by us on a personal level, not decided by gray suits in faraway boardrooms.
3. **Eco-friendly lifestyles are out of reach for many**\
   Paying extra for sustainably-made products is out of the question when paying the bills is a weekly struggle.
4. **Private data is open to abuse**\
   Today, it feels like every move online is tracked, analyzed and commodified. Personal details are vulnerable to hackers. Data is precious. It’s a shame that web 2.0 firms don’t treat it that way.
