About Deodes
Our Mission
1.3 billion adults remain unbanked globally. In communities across Africa, Latin America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, people rely on informal savings circles — esusu, tontines, chit funds, tandas — to access capital and build financial resilience. Deodes wraps this centuries-old model in Arc smart contracts, bringing transparency, security, and portable on-chain reputation to every participant.
Why Arc
Arc's sub-cent transaction fees and fast settlement make contribution cycles practical. The Arc smart contract platform provides the programmability for complex payout rules, auction mechanics, and reputation tracking — all while keeping gas costs negligible.
Open Source
Our smart contracts, backend API, and frontend are open source under Apache 2.0. Contribute on GitHub.
