Problem description

There is a growing demand in Kazakhstan for secure and regulated entry of citizens into the field of digital assets. According to the Chainalysis Global Crypto Adoption Index, more than 1.5 million Kazakhstanis have experience working with cryptocurrencies, but less than 17% of them use them legally due to lack of infrastructure and distrust of foreign platforms. Existing loyalty programs of Kazakhstani banks offer rewards in fiat (1-3% cashback) and are perceived by users as a standard feature. This does not create differentiation and does not involve citizens in the digital economy. THE MAIN PROBLEMS THAT THE PROJECT SOLVES: 1) THE GAP BETWEEN INTEREST AND INFRASTRUCTURE Citizens are interested in digital assets, but are forced to use foreign services without the jurisdiction of the Republic of Kazakhstan, consumer protection and regulatory supervision. 2) HIGH BARRIER TO ENTRY INTO THE CRYPTO ECONOMY Buying digital assets requires investing your own funds and involves financial risks. It scares away the mass audience. 3) THE LACK OF LEGAL TURNOVER OF DIGITAL ASSETS IN THE CONSUMER SECTOR The current legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan did not provide for the use of cryptocurrencies as a form of remuneration until 2025. With the Resolution of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 42 dated 07/25/2025, a legal window for such models appeared under a special regulatory regime. 4) LOW FINANCIAL LITERACY REGARDING DIGITAL ASSETS Most citizens have no experience working with cryptocurrencies and do not understand the principles of storing and using digital assets. HOW DOES THE PROJECT SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS?: — The user receives digital assets without investing their own funds, through habitual activity (online purchases) - All operations take place in a regulated infrastructure under the supervision of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan — Mandatory identification by IIN ensures AML/KYC compliance — Educational materials in your personal account enhance digital literacy The platform creates an infrastructure for the safe mass involvement of Kazakh citizens in the digital economy without the need to invest their own funds and under the direct control of the regulator.
