Kora Network is an infrastructure for inclusive community owned financial systems. We provide the tools needed to build a self-sustaining, community-owned ecosystem for circulating and accumulating capital within a community. This includes the ability to validate identity, and to use that identity to store, transfer, or lend money, to make payments, and to provide or access value-added services like lending, marketplaces, benefit distribution and digital education, even without internet access or a smartphone through channels like SMS or USSD.

Our blockchain stores identity and transactions, runs software modules, and connects to other blockchains while preserving user privacy. We use Tendermint DPoS as a consensus algorithm, allowing for scalability while maintaining decentralization. The blockchain is secured by the Kora Network Token (KNT).
