Kora Network - connecting people, communities and capital. Ramon’s rating

The international financial system includes a set of relationships that have a direct connection with the movement of world money and serve financial and economic interstate relations and international business (foreign trade activities, lending, subsidies, tourism business, exchange of scientific and technical developments, etc.).
Prerequisites for ensuring the stability of the global financial system and its effective development are created through the development of production, business, the formation of a balanced interstate currency market, the world division of labor resources, the creation of a unified world economic system.
A stable system of international financial relations is impossible without the creation of reliable financial institutions since it is such a system in the global view that is a form of regulation of monetary relations.
Monetary resources - the basic element for business and the world economic mechanisms of our time. The international monetary and financial system includes established economic relations in the social environment, as well as financial funds formed on the basis of national income and the redistribution of the social product.
Decentralized (private) finance is a form of organization of monetary relations, movement of funds formed at the level of various enterprises, organizations, other business entities, households, and individuals. Decentralized finances include funds that are formed outside state and municipal finance. Belong to legal entities or individuals.
Decentralized finance is the basis of the financial system since it is in this area that the predominant share of the state's finances is formed.
The content of decentralized finance reveals such concepts as enterprise finances, organizations, household finances.
The finance of enterprises includes finance of enterprises as a financial sector (banks, insurance companies, etc.) and non-financial sphere (enterprises and organizations of various fields of activity, both commercial and non-commercial).
The finance of households includes a set of monetary relations in the creation and use of funds which enter the household and its individual participants in the process of their livelihoods.
The modern system of international financial organizations is regulated by the International Monetary Fund, which is designed to promote interstate cooperation and the unification of business forces for the effective resolution of world financial problems. As an institution of the international financial system, the International Monetary Fund monitors currency reserves, provides conditions for compliance with foreign exchange regulations, counteracts currency restrictions, lends to national economies experiencing temporary problems in maintaining the balance of payments. An important role is played also by such entities of the international financial system as the World Bank Group, the Basel Bank of International Settlements, the European Investment Bank and other organizations that carry out foreign currency lending.
Small business is not supported by investment and lending. One can safely say that the main problem that does not allow small business to establish itself and develop is the financial problem. Small enterprises use an average of thirty percent of their means, that is, their starting capital, to expand their production capacities, to try to attract stable, long-term resources. However, the enterprise can not count on receiving loans from banks, as the banks themselves do not initiate solve this issue.

Description & White paper.jpg
The Kora Network (https://kora.network/) will be able to solve the problem of lending, both for individuals and small businesses, by providing a platform for financial services available to everyone. Kora is a project of hope for billions of people who are underserved by the current financial system. The Kora Network is expected to provide a lowcost, financial services platform for all. Accessible by SMS/USSD on feature phones or with Internet via a mobile app and powered by blockchain technology, the Kora Network is expected to lower the cost to serve for lowincome populations and brings them into the global economy.
Kora’s key differentiator is its ecosystem.
Kora’s blockchain stores identity and transactions, runs software modules, and connects to other blockchains while preserving user privacy. The Kora Network use Tendermint DPoS as a consensus algorithm, allowing for scalability while maintaining decentralization. The blockchain is secured by the Kora Network Token (KNT).
eFiat are digital versions of national currencies that users understand and trust. They are 100% backed by cash reserves, and redeemable on a 1:1 basis. Most financial activity between users will be denominated in eFiat instead of KNT. KNT will be used in the background as the staking mechanism for selecting block producers as well as a single medium to pay for fees incurred by the Kora Network. Digital currencies are relatively new, especially in rural areas, so users have a hard time understanding their meaning and value. To increase ease of use and adoption, we provide users with the benefits of digital currency in a denomination and form they understand and trust.
CVNs empower users to pool capital for lending or investment, social assistance, financial education and other services. CVNs are ways for existing communities to do more with their capital. Farming cooperatives can use a CVN to ensure the proper use of funds when buying commodities, selling produce and distributing proceeds. Savings groups can use a CVN to securely pool capital in eFiat and govern the use of that capital. National trade unions can set up CVNs both nationally and as local chapters to increase the transparency into their operations and help to fight corruption.
One would be the creation of CVNs and getting buy-in from the community leaders who are currently providing the ad-hoc financial services to the underserved. Second would be the use of eFiat which are tokens tied to local currency. This enables users to harness the benefits of digital currency while leveraging the trust people have in fiat currencies.
Kora aims to work within the existing financial system. Thus we want to ensure that our network is compliant with governmental regulations.
