01 / The opportunity
Fursa

Tanzania’s wealth is real.Most of it can’t move.

Bonds, harvests, land and invoices hold enormous value, but they’re slow to sell, hard to divide and out of reach for most people. Blockchain and tokenization change that.

Step 1

Blockchain

A shared public record

A ledger that many parties keep together and no single party can quietly change. Ownership becomes provable.

Step 2

Tokenization

Assets become digital tokens

A real asset is represented as a token that can be split into small pieces, transferred in seconds and traced end to end.

Step 3

Real-world assets

Value that was locked, moves

Government bonds, crop receipts, land and trade invoices become open to more investors and faster to trade.

Anyone can own a piece Settles in seconds, any hour Ownership anyone can verify Assets usable as collateral
02 / The missing piece
Kipande kinachokosekana

Every tokenized asset needstokenized money to pay for it.

Today the only money on blockchain is the US dollar. Without a digital shilling, Tanzanian assets would be priced and paid for in dollars. nTZS is the digital Tanzanian shilling, backed one-to-one and live today, so Tanzania’s assets can move in Tanzania’s own currency.

One digital shilling.Many assets unlocked.

Pilot-ready

Government bonds & T-bills

Pilot-ready

Agricultural warehouse receipts

A farmer’s stored harvest becomes a digital receipt that can be sold or used as collateral the same day, instead of waiting for a buyer or a bank visit.

Live

Cross-border trade

Shillings swap directly into naira and digital dollars through SimpleFX, in seconds, without routing through a correspondent bank.

Land & real estate

Fractional ownership and a clear, tamper-proof title history.

SME invoices

Get paid today on an invoice due in 90 days.

Carbon credits

Issue, trade and retire credits, settled in shillings.

Live runs on nTZS today. Pilot-ready uses the same settlement rails and needs an asset partner to launch.

04 / Built the right way

Tokenization only earns public trust when the legal, institutional, technological and security groundwork is in place. We built nTZS on all four from day one.
