Product & Architecture

Product Overview
TinqFi is a decentralized digital assets management platform for Africans & unbanked nations that allows users to easily access DeFi tools and manage all their digital assets with advanced features to maximize every market cycle and retain full ownership and the true value of their idle assets. with the implementation/integration of Stellar blockchain on completion of SCF #27, TinqFi is building a robust and secure digital assets infrastructure on a reliable blockchain[Stellar] which will revolutionize the digital assets landscape across the African region making it seamless for web3/crypto enthusiast to save, invest, borrow and buy crypto

Service[1]: Crypto Loans[Collateralised Loans on Stellar]
TinqFi instant crypto-backed loans will help users retain the true value of their idle assets for long-term holders to maintain their market positions and access instant liquidity to solve pressing needs. users will have to have collateral assets in their wallet on TinqFi to enable them to access the instant crypto loan services.
How it works

  • User deposits crypto to his wallet on TinqFi
  • User select collateral assets and get instant liquidity of collateral in stellar-based USDC
  • User repays loan [USDC] at the end of loan duration. collateral is instantly transferred back to the user's wallet.

Service[2]: Stellar-based wallet with multiple assets function
Integrating stellar wallet SDK into the TinqFi project will allow us to build a robust ecosystem around our wallet functions. users will have a stellar-based wallet on sign-up and will be able to deposit/withdraw assets meeting all stellar SEPs standards.

How it works

  • User creates an account on TinqFi
  • Create a stellar wallet with multiple assets
  • User can deposit/send/withdraw crypto using their wallet address


Service[3]: Savings
TinqFi save is a seamless service for Africans to hedge against high inflation rates rampaging the nations. due to poor economic decisions by most African leaders, investors/individuals within the continent constantly need a more secure and decentralized means of protecting their assets. TinqFi savings will enable users to save in [USDC]  which is a more stable currency than their local fiat currencies and earn yield. it would be possible on TinqFi by Anchor Integration[LINK] to enable NGNC/USDC on/off ramping alongside Ghana [GHSC] and others which will come in as we scale.

How it works

  • User sign-up and complete basic profile.
  • Deposit funds NGNC/USDC [facilitated by LINK]
  • Select a Fixed or Flexible saving Plan
  • start accumulating yield.
