Manas.Tech is kicking-off the development of the entire Sikoba platform for peer-to-peer credit-based transactions

You know how at Manas.Tech, we love digging into projects that are a bit unusual? Well, we have done it again. Also, have you ever heard of the blockchain-based “IOU economy”? That is exactly what our friends at Sikoba are up to, and it makes us very proud and happy to announce that they have chosen Manas to be their technology partner.

So, what is Sikoba?

Sikoba is an IOU (“I owe you”) platform which automates the creation, tracking and finally clearing of debt between its users. While Sikoba can be used in a wide array of settings, like business to business contracts and clearings, its design is a great fit for small communities with struggling economies. In many situations where there is a shortage of money, Sikoba can help re-activate local economies. Alex Kampa, founder of Sikoba, puts it in very compelling terms: “there is a lot you can do without money, as long as you have credit”.
