Case Study: Launching a Low-Cost Remittance Platform in East Africa
Industry: FinTech / Remittances
Client Overview: A startup, "AfriPay," aimed to disrupt the high-cost remittance corridor between Europe and East Africa. Their goal was to provide a mobile-first platform that was significantly cheaper and faster than existing services like Western Union, targeting migrant workers sending money home to their families.
The Problem: The average cost to send a $200 remittance to the region was over 8%, with funds taking 3-5 days to arrive. Existing services were often inaccessible in rural areas and involved opaque fee structures. AfriPay needed a technology backbone that could facilitate instant, low-cost transfers and seamlessly connect to local mobile money networks.
Key Challenges:
- Building a secure, non-custodial wallet accessible on low-end smartphones.
- Ensuring regulatory compliance for cross-border transactions (KYC/AML).
- Integrating with multiple, fragmented mobile money providers in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
- Maintaining sufficient liquidity for fiat-to-stablecoin conversions on both ends.
Our Solution:
We engineered a comprehensive Web3 solution built on a scalable Layer-2 network:
- Developed a user-friendly mobile app with an integrated non-custodial wallet supporting a USD-backed stablecoin.
- Implemented a tiered KYC system using decentralized identity principles, allowing for basic transactions with minimal friction.
- Built a network of API connectors and smart contracts to automate swaps between the stablecoin and local mobile money currencies.
- Established partnerships with regional liquidity providers and integrated them into the platform's backend for efficient on/off-ramping.
Client Testimonial
"Errna was more than a vendor; they were our strategic tech partner. They understood our vision for financial inclusion and delivered a robust, scalable platform that is now processing thousands of transactions daily. Their expertise in both blockchain and emerging markets was invaluable."
Positive Outcomes:
Case Study: A Decentralized Micro-Lending Platform for Southeast Asian MSMEs
Industry: Microfinance / DeFi
Client Overview: "LendAsean," a social enterprise, wanted to provide working capital loans to small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Southeast Asia who were excluded from traditional banking. Their vision was to create a P2P lending marketplace connecting impact investors with entrepreneurs.
The Problem: Local MSMEs faced exorbitant interest rates from informal lenders and impossible collateral requirements from banks. There was no reliable way to assess their creditworthiness, and the loan administration process was manual and inefficient. LendAsean needed a transparent, automated platform to connect lenders and borrowers securely.
Key Challenges:
- Creating a fair and accessible credit scoring model without traditional financial data.
- Automating the entire loan lifecycle on-chain to reduce overhead.
- Ensuring investor funds were protected and loan repayments were enforced.
- Providing a simple interface for borrowers with varying levels of digital literacy.
Our Solution:
We built a DeFi lending protocol tailored for the microfinance sector:
- Designed a decentralized identity system where borrowers could build a reputation score based on supply chain data, mobile phone usage, and community endorsements.
- Developed a suite of smart contracts to manage loan origination, collateralization with tokenized assets, and automated repayment schedules.
- Created segregated, audited lending pools where investors could deposit stablecoins and earn yield from loan repayments.
- Built a progressive web app (PWA) that worked on low-bandwidth connections, guiding borrowers through the application process step-by-step.
Client Testimonial
"The platform Errna built for us is revolutionary. The on-chain credit scoring and automated loan management have allowed us to scale our operations in ways we never thought possible. We're now providing affordable capital to thousands of businesses, all with complete transparency."
Positive Outcomes:
Case Study: Transparent Aid Distribution for a Global NGO
Industry: Non-Profit / Supply Chain
Client Overview: A major international NGO, "GlobalReach," was struggling with transparency and "last-mile" delivery confirmation for humanitarian aid. Donors were losing confidence due to concerns about corruption and inefficiency in the supply chain.
The Problem: Once aid left a central warehouse, it was nearly impossible to track its journey to the final beneficiaries. Paper-based records were unreliable, and intermediaries could divert funds or supplies. The NGO needed an immutable, auditable system to track every dollar and every item from donor to recipient.
Key Challenges:
- Creating a system that could be used in remote, low-connectivity areas.
- Ensuring the identity of beneficiaries was verified without compromising their privacy.
- Making the tracking data accessible and understandable to non-technical donors.
- Integrating with existing logistics and inventory management systems.
Our Solution:
We developed a private, permissioned blockchain solution for supply chain transparency:
- Created "digital twin" tokens for aid shipments and funds, allowing them to be tracked on the blockchain at every stage.
- Developed a simple mobile app for field workers to update the status of shipments by scanning QR codes, which worked offline and synced when connectivity was available.
- Used a decentralized identity solution with biometric verification to create digital wallets for beneficiaries, allowing them to confirm receipt of aid directly.
- Built a public-facing dashboard that visualized the entire aid journey, showing donors the real-time impact of their contributions.
Client Testimonial
"Working with Errna has transformed our accountability. For the first time, we can show our donors exactly where their money is going. The blockchain platform has not only rebuilt trust but has also made our internal operations far more efficient. It's a game-changer for humanitarian work."

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about implementing Web3 for financial inclusion? We have answers. Here are some common queries from our partners and clients.
Yes, when architected correctly. Blockchain's cryptographic security and immutability make it inherently more secure than traditional centralized databases for transaction records. For sensitive personal data (PII), we use a hybrid approach, storing encrypted data off-chain and only recording hashes and permissions on-chain. This, combined with non-custodial wallets that give users sole control of their private keys, creates an exceptionally secure environment.
This is a critical focus for us. We design "Web2.5" experiences that abstract away the complexity. This includes:
- Social Recovery & MPC Wallets: Eliminating the need for users to manage complex seed phrases.
- Gasless Transactions: We sponsor transaction fees on behalf of the user so they don't need to hold native gas tokens.
- Intuitive UI/UX: Designing simple, mobile-first interfaces that mirror familiar apps, often integrating with platforms like WhatsApp for onboarding.
- Community-Led Training: We help our clients develop "train-the-trainer" programs with local agents to facilitate in-person onboarding.
We almost exclusively use stablecoins for financial inclusion applications. These are cryptocurrencies pegged 1:1 to a stable asset like the US Dollar. By using audited, fully-backed stablecoins (like USDC or DAI) or even developing regionally-specific stablecoins, we eliminate price volatility as a concern for end-users, ensuring the platform is a reliable tool for savings and payments.
Our agile approach prioritizes speed to market. A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for a pilot project can typically be developed and launched within 3 to 6 months. This timeline depends on the complexity of the features, the extent of third-party integrations, and the clarity of the regulatory pathway. The goal of the MVP is to quickly get a functional product into the hands of real users to gather feedback and validate the business model.
