Please describe your proposed solution

Inception

Endubis wallet came from the idea of simplifying the onboarding process to enable easy payments of ADA in Ethiopia. Our target audience for this app/bot is people new to the crypto space, that don't want to deal with or have access to centralized platforms/exchanges.

Outcomes

After a successful initial test run of the 'Cardano wallet as a chatbot' concept, we have received wide interest within our community and we have over 2000 people currently using it on the mainnet.

We have finalized the essential development and with this fund, we hope to upgrade to v2.0 with a better UI, and add more fiat withdrawals. We are currently operating fiat withdrawals in Ethiopia and Kenya, and we are working on expanding to Uganda, Rwanda, and Nigeria. We have been experimenting/ testing and developing this project over the past year, with zero budget, and this funding will allow us to finally upgrade all features, expand our services and market the product for mass onboarding.
