The $900 Billion Remittances Problem

Sub-$200 remittances face the highest fees, disproportionately hurting the families that need every dollar most.

6.36%

Global average cost to send $200 (World Bank RPW, Q3 2025). More than double the 3% SDG target.

8.78%

Average cost to send $200 to Sub-Saharan Africa (World Bank, Q1 2025). The world's most expensive region.

800M+

People without official ID, locked out of formal financial systems. Another 2.8B lack digital ID.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. No custody.

P2P Remittances via Stablecoin Rails β€” chain two P2P trade offers into one fiat-in, fiat-out transaction.

1

Choose an offer

Browse P2P offers from traders in your corridor. Each offer shows the exchange rate and fees.

2

Deposit stablecoin

Send USDC to the smart contract escrow. Your funds are locked by code, not a company.

3

Recipient receives fiat

A second trader delivers local fiat to your recipient. Escrow releases your USDC atomically.
