Products & Services

With the support of the Stellar Community Fund, we plan to launch and grow three main products and services to help advance the adoption of cryptocurrencies in Chile and the growth of DAOs in the overall Stellar Ecosystem:

Wallet App: We plan to launch a mobile wallet app for Chile and Latin America, specifically designed for cooperative (multi-signature) savings and providing an on/off ramp for crypto and fiat with MoneygramAccess integration. The app aims to boost local economies by incentivizing sustainable behavior by providing discounts and rewards on local businesses and cooperative organizations. The app will be an all-in-one solution for the unbanked people in Chile to save, shift demand towards sustainable practices, and boost local economies.

DAO Tools: We are growing a DAO community by building tools in the Stellar Network such as voting systems for community governance proposals and a bounties app to incentivize native developers. These developments will help build decentralized systems of governance and asset management and push for Soroban Smart Contract research and development.

Open Source PoS: We are building open source hardware running horizon to incentivize local shops to reward customer loyalty through tokenized coupons and points. We envision users tapping their wallet app or NFC cards on these terminals at shops or events. It currently uses a LibreBoard and RFID-RC522 Reader, and Python. The case is 3D printed. The goal is to provide the instructions for a DIY affordable terminal as well as providing production-ready commercial hardware to expand the Stellar Network and sustain the project.
