What is Deodes?
Deodes is a decentralized rotating savings and credit association (ROSCA) platform built on the Arc blockchain. Members form savings circles, contribute USDC each cycle, and one member receives the pooled payout per round. Arc smart contracts enforce rules, handle payouts, apply penalties, and track reputation.
