Our Mission
To provide faster, cheaper and greener parcel delivery in Africa
The Problem
Postal services in African countries are expensive, unreliable, slow, inconvenient, inefficient and even inaccessible to many people.
The Solution
We are building on Cardano to disrupt the poor legacy of centralized postal delivery in Africa through an innovative, trustless and blockchain-based peer-to-peer solution, where profits are kept by the community and not extracted by large corporations.
Key Benefit
Faster
People transporting parcels through our system usually go directly to the delivery location and hence require less time for delivery than centralized postal agencies, which on average need at least several days up to a week for nationwide postal delivery.
Key Benefit
Cheaper
African public post offices are more expensive on average than their European counterparts. Transporters of our decentralized delivery system bear most of the fixed cost of the transport themselves as they are going to the destination of the deliverable parcel in the first place.
Key Benefit
Greener
When a transporter goes to the destination in the first place and takes a parcel with him/her creates a lower ecological impact than an highly efficient centralized postal delivery service infrastructure.
And so much more!
Digital
No expensive postal shops or paperwork needed. An entirely digital solution accessible with your phone.
Trustless
No need to trust anybody as the economic incentives for proper delivery is enshrined in the Smart Contract of the Cardano blockchain.
Reliable
High quality of delivery without damages are guaranteed due to the economic incentives for the transporter.
On time
Transporters are highly incentivised to deliver on time.
Home to home
Options of having from/to-door pickup and delivery.
Treacable
Follow the parcel through GPS tracking.
Why Cardano?
Because it’s the most secure, decentralized and purpose driven Blockchain with Smart Contract capabilities.
