Savings circles on WhatsApp β earning DeFi yield.
DYORX digitizes informal savings circles (consΓ³rcios) for Latin America, adding 6β8% APY through Solana DeFi while keeping the social trust mechanisms that make them work. No app. No wallet. No crypto knowledge needed β just WhatsApp.
141 million Brazilians participate in savings circles β informal rotating savings groups where members pool money monthly and take turns receiving the full pot. They are a deeply trusted financial tool across generations, with one critical flaw: the money earns nothing while it waits.
Traditional banks offer 0.5β1% APY. Inflation runs at 4β10%+. Every month a member waits for their payout, their contributions are losing real value.
DYORX runs entirely through WhatsApp β the app already on 96% of Brazilian smartphones. Users deposit, join circles, and receive payouts via familiar chat commands. Behind the scenes, all pooled funds are deployed to Kamino Finance on Solana, generating 6β8% APY.
The blockchain is completely invisible. Users experience a savings circle. We handle the yield.
