Problem statement
While DeFi offers access to stable, high-yield assets, it remains out of reach for the majority of the global population affected with high inflation and currency depreciation.
1 - Disconnected Financial Infrastructure
Over 2 billion people use mobile money globally, yet they are isolated from DeFi
DeFi protocols don’t natively integrate with mobile money wallets or USSD
There is no seamless path from a feature phone to a yield-bearing asset
2 - Barriers to DeFi entry
Complexity & crypto-native design
Requires private key management, dApp navigation, and DeFi literacy
Gas fees, wallet UX, and token bridges present steep learning curves
Smartphone & internet dependence
Most DeFi protocols (Aave, Compound, UniSwap) require consistent access to smartphones and data
Low connectivity regions (e.g. rural Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America) are excluded by design
