Pilot Use Cases · For Implementation Partners

Eight pilot programs open for partnership.

Every use case below is a concrete program your institution can pilot. The Foundation provides technical support, grant funding where appropriate, and works alongside your team to define a realistic, measurable scope.

Pilot 01 · Identity

Citizen Identity Credentials.

Zero-knowledge identity credentials issued by government agencies. Citizens prove who they are, what they hold, and what they are authorized to do — without revealing the underlying data to any counterparty.

What the pilot looks like

  • Agency issues verifiable credentials to citizens via the Identity Protocol
  • Citizens hold credentials in a self-sovereign wallet on their phone
  • Verifiers (banks, services, employers) receive ZK proofs, never raw data
  • Foundation provides full integration support and grant funding
Government Civic agencies National IDs
Pilot 02 · Education

Academic Credentials.

University-issued degrees, transcripts, and certificates anchored on-chain. A graduate from Lagos can have their credential verified by an employer in Toronto in seconds, with no paperwork, no intermediaries.

What the pilot looks like

  • University issues verifiable degrees to graduates on the network
  • Credentials carry institutional signature and cannot be forged
  • Verifiers anywhere in the world can confirm authenticity instantly
  • Bridges to global credential standards (W3C VC, Open Badges)
Universities Technical institutes Certification bodies
Pilot 03 · Land

Land & Property Registries.

Tokenized, dispute-resistant land titles and property records. The foundation for collateral, investment, and generational wealth — anchored to institutional validators, not paper registers vulnerable to fire or manipulation.

What the pilot looks like

  • National or regional registry digitizes records on Alkebuleum
  • Ownership history becomes verifiable and tamper-resistant
  • Citizens query title history without intermediaries or fees
  • Banks accept on-chain titles as collateral for lending
Ministries of Lands National registries Surveying authorities
Pilot 04 · Governance

Anti-Corruption & Procurement Logs.

Public procurement and disbursement records anchored on-chain. Every contract award, every disbursement, every signature — verifiable by citizens, auditors, and oversight bodies, in real time.

What the pilot looks like

  • Anti-corruption commission anchors procurement decisions on-chain
  • Public records become tamper-evident and citizen-auditable
  • Whistleblower-protection patterns built into the Identity Protocol
  • Liberia's national pilot is the first West African deployment
Anti-corruption agencies Auditors-general Civil society
Pilot 05 · Records

Institutional Document Verification.

Birth, marriage, professional licenses, contracts, court records, regulatory filings. All anchored to the network, all verifiable globally, while the underlying documents and personal information remain protected.

What the pilot looks like

  • National archives or registries onboard via the Records Protocol
  • Issuers sign records cryptographically; holders control disclosure
  • Verifiers receive proofs of authenticity, never raw documents
  • Cross-border recognition for diaspora and migrant workers
National archives Civil registries Professional bodies
Pilot 06 · Finance

Cross-Border Payments & Settlement.

Remittance and trade settlement between African nations and the diaspora — denominated in stable value, finalized in seconds, with regulatory compliance built in. A diaspora professional in London can send funds home with one tap.

What the pilot looks like

  • Banks or fintechs onboard a corridor pilot — one origin, one destination
  • Stable-value tokens used for settlement on the network
  • KYC compliance preserved via the Identity Protocol's ZK proofs
  • Settlement times measured in seconds, not days
Banks Fintechs Mobile money operators
Pilot 07 · Diaspora

Diaspora Investment Vehicles.

Programmable, on-chain vehicles that let the global diaspora pool capital into continental projects with full transparency. From SACCOs to investment clubs to formal funds — every flow visible, every decision recorded.

What the pilot looks like

  • Diaspora coalition launches an investment vehicle on the network
  • Members contribute, vote on allocations, track returns transparently
  • Governance and capital movements fully on-chain
  • Bridges to continental projects via Implementation Partners
Diaspora coalitions Investment funds SACCOs
Pilot 08 · Credit

Portable Credit Histories.

A creditworthy individual or business in Lagos can carry that standing across borders, across lenders, and across the diaspora. Credit becomes a portable asset that travels with the individual — not a record locked inside a single national bureau.

What the pilot looks like

  • Banks and fintechs contribute repayment history via the Credit Protocol
  • Individuals own and control their credit record via the Identity Protocol
  • Lenders query credit standing with the individual's consent
  • Foundation for SME credit, diaspora lending, and microfinance growth
Banks Microfinance Credit bureaus

Don't see your use case? The eight pilots above are the programs already in motion. The network is general-purpose — if your institution has an existing process that would benefit from verifiable, sovereign trust infrastructure, the Foundation will work with you to scope it.
