What is Safrochain?

Safrochain empowers communities through fast, affordable, and accessible blockchain infrastructure tailored for real-world use cases. It is a Cosmos SDK Layer-1 built for mobile-first users, everyday payments, and real utility, connecting local African economies to global assets with sovereign block space, predictable fees, and IBC rails to the wider Cosmos ecosystem.

Why Safrochain​

  • Everyday payments with sub-cent effective costs and fast finality.
  • Community savings (tontines, rotating pools) with transparent, programmable rules via CosmWasm.
  • Cross-border settlement that is verifiable, auditable, and interoperable through IBC.
  • Predictable fees so wallets and dApps can quote a real price to the user before they sign.

Technology stack (high level)​

  • Cosmos SDK + CometBFT: proof-of-stake consensus and fast finality.
  • IBC: cross-chain token transfers and composability with the wider Cosmos ecosystem.
  • CosmWasm: smart contracts for on-chain applications.

The SAF token​

SAF is the network's native token used for:

  • Transaction fees
  • Staking and validator security
  • On-chain governance
