Problem & Market Gap
The Unbanked Crisis
Over 1.4 billion adults remain unbanked globally, with crypto adoption in emerging markets such as LATAM, Africa, EMEA, and Asia growing rapidly. Traditional banking infrastructure fails to serve these populations due to high costs, regulatory barriers, and lack of physical infrastructure.

Limited Access: 31% of adults in developing economies lack access to basic financial services
High Fees: Traditional remittance fees average 6.2% globally, with some corridors exceeding 10%

Burn Mechanism & Deflationary Model
Automatic Token Burns
Every virtual card issued through Kripicard triggers an automatic burn of $0.10 worth of KRIPI tokens, permanently removing them from circulation. This creates a direct correlation between platform growth and token scarcity.
Burn Projections (Conservative Estimates)
Burn Triggers
- • Card issuance ($0.10 per card)
- • Premium feature unlocks
- • API integration fees
- • Quarterly treasury buybacks
Deflationary Impact
- • Reduced circulating supply
- • Increased scarcity over time
- • Value appreciation potential
- • Sustainable tokenomics
Burn Transparency
All token burns are publicly verifiable on the Solana blockchain. Burn wallet addresses and transaction IDs (TxIDs) are shared on our announcements page for complete transparency. Real-time burn statistics and historical data are available through blockchain explorers.

Use Cases & Applications
Cross-Border Payments
Freelancers and remote workers receive crypto payments and instantly convert to spendable cards, bypassing expensive wire transfers and currency conversion fees.
Example: Developer in Philippines receives $1,000 USDC, issues Kripicard, pays only 2% fee vs 8-10% traditional remittance
DeFi to Real World
DeFi users convert yield farming profits, staking rewards, and trading gains into immediately usable purchasing power without complex off-ramps.
Example: Trader earns $5,000 from liquidity pools, issues card in 30 seconds, uses for daily expenses
Web3 Project Payouts
DAOs, gaming platforms, and Web3 projects integrate Kripicard API to offer instant card issuance for rewards, bounties, and contributor payments.
Example: Play-to-earn game distributes tournament prizes as Kripicards, players spend winnings immediately
Financial Inclusion
Unbanked populations in emerging markets access global payment networks through crypto wallets and Kripicard, no traditional bank account required.
Example: Small business owner in Nigeria accepts crypto, issues cards for employees, enables payroll without banking infrastructure
Crash-Resistant Economic Design
KRIPI maintains stability even under market stress. LP absorbs 50% presale sell-offs with less than 10% price shift, and treasury reserves (35%) allow buybacks and liquidity reinforcement.
