The DApp allows users to create and join campaigns, contribute funds, and track campaign details transparently on the blockchain.\n\nSupported Assets: Celo, cUSD, G$\n\nEsusu is a 3 in 1 solution to solving issues related to financial inclusion and poor savings trend. the sections are\n\n    Esusu thrift contribution: 5 users join a contribution campaign where they pool their funds every month for 5 months. For every month a unique user takes home the total contribution giving everyone access to bulk money which naturally they couldn't have saved up. This also eliminates the need to borrow money to fund big projects.\n\n    Esusu piggy box: Funds are locked up over time so that users no longer have access to them. They earn EST tokens for locking up funds but lose these tokens if they decide to break the lock.\n\n    Esusu pay bills: Users can pay for their utility and also make donations to their various projects\n\nProblem:\nAcross developing economies, particularly in Africa, financial exclusion persists due to limited banking access and a weakening savings culture exacerbated by economic pressures and increased impulse spending. Traditional community savings systems like Esusu face trust and efficiency challenges, while formal banking remains inaccessible to many. This creates a critical need for secure, transparent financial tools that combine the community strength of traditional systems with modern technological safeguards, enabling financial discipline and capital formation in underserved populations.\n\nSolution:\nESUSU is a blockchain-based financial inclusion platform that addresses key financial challenges in developing economies. It modernizes traditional African community savings through three integrated solutions: a Thrift Contribution System enabling group savings and rotating payouts, a MiniSafe Box for time-locked personal savings with token rewards, and a Bill Payment System for low-cost utility payments and donations. Built on the Celo blockchain, ESUSU leverages smart contracts to ensure transparency, security, and accessibility via mobile devices with minimal bandwidth requirements. Our solution preserves cultural financial practices while eliminating traditional limitations, promoting financial discipline and community cooperation through decentralized technology.\n\nMission Summary:\nESUSU represents more than a technological solution—it's a bridge between traditional community finance and the digital economy. By addressing the core challenges of financial exclusion while respecting cultural practices,\n\nESUSU creates a pathway to financial empowerment for millions previously excluded from formal financial systems.\nThrough its three-pronged approach of thrift contributions, disciplined savings, and practical bill payments.\n\nESUSU delivers a comprehensive financial platform that meets immediate needs while building long-term financial health and literacy. Built on the security and transparency of blockchain technology.\n\nESUSU transforms financial vulnerability into financial opportunity.\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "Emiridbest", "projectTwitter": "emiridbest"}
