AsiliChain is a DeFi infrastructure protocol for Uganda's 3.5 million smallholder coffee farmers. It converts government GPS farm data — collected for EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) compliance — into working capital credit, 60-second mobile payments, and automated Due Diligence Statements.
The same GPS coordinate that satisfies a European auditor unlocks a farmer's first formal credit relationship.
Core products:
- Working capital loans at 14–18% APR against coffee batch collateral (vs. 60–120% from informal lenders)
- 60-second payment to MTN Mobile Money via USSD — no smartphone required
- Automated EUDR Due Diligence Statements filed to EU TRACES
- On-chain credit history, portable across cooperatives and lenders
Built on: Mantle Network (Ethereum ZK L2) · Hedera HCS · Fonbnk · MAAIF NTS
This repo contains the AsiliChain protocol documentation site, built with Astro and Starlight.
The smart contracts, API, and agent app are in separate repositories.
