HISA is a decentralized, AI-powered financial and wellness ecosystem focused on Africa's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a core emphasis on mental health-awareness, conservation, data rights, and equitable finance inclusion opportunities. Built on Hedera Hashgraph, HISA fuses agentic AI, smart contracts, and AMM-style liquidity pools to enable users to earn passive income, access mental health resources, and tokenize real-world contributions through a trust-minimized, privacy-preserving infrastructure that supports both online and offline (USSD/SSD) interaction. This protocol enables 350 million feature phone users to participate in tokenized ecosystems through financial inclusion, conservation verification tokenization, cultural preservation, and wellness activities. By integrating multi-modal verification, diversified token economics, and community-powered governance, HISA creates an unbreakable infrastructure for achieving Sustainable Development Goals while ensuring digital inclusion, economic resilience, and cultural sovereignty.
To unlock Africa's prosperity by transforming real-world value into liquid digital assets—accessible, trackable, and usable by everyday people—powered by agentic AI, smart contracts, and the Hedera distributed ledger. "If you can verify it, you can value it. If you can value it, you can tokenize it."
Africa faces significant barriers to financial inclusion, mental healthcare access, and sustainable development participation: • Financial Exclusion: 57% of African adults lack access to formal financial services • Mental Health Gap: Limited affordable mental health resources with high stigmatization • Data Sovereignty: Users lack control over personal data monetization • Infrastructure Limitations: Inconsistent internet connectivity restricts digital participation • SDG Financing: Insufficient incentivization for sustainable development activities
HISA uses a UMOJA tokenized DeFi layer with AI-managed smart pools that allow users to participate in yield-generating activities without needing a traditional bank account. With mobile-first and USSD-compatible onboarding, anyone—even in remote areas with feature phones—can create a wallet, access DeFi products like savings, staking, insurance, and pensions, and earn from SDG-related actions. Smart contracts eliminate middlemen, reducing costs and increasing transparency.
HISA makes mental health core to economic empowerment by integrating AI-powered wellness profiles, which assess mental health passively or via self-reports. These profiles can trigger automated alerts, care recommendations, or tokenized rewards for self-care actions. Partnered telemedicine access supports referrals, while privacy-preserving smart contracts ensure sensitive data remains user-controlled. In doing so, HISA destigmatizes care and embeds wellness into the fabric of financial and community life.
HISA ensures data is owned, tokenized, and monetizable by the user. Activities like tree planting, mental health check-ins, cultural contributions, and governance participation are verified on-chain and converted into valuable, tradable tokens. Users control what data is shared, and the agentic AI acts as a trust-minimized third-party, helping enforce permissions and ethical data use. This model promotes data dignity and economic equity.
HISA's architecture includes offline-first capabilities, such as USSD and SSD support, enabling full ecosystem participation on basic phones. Core functions—wallet access, pool contributions, mental health tracking, and even governance voting—can be performed without internet. This ensures inclusion for the unconnected and extends Web3's reach to the last mile.
HISA transforms SDG contributions into verifiable, rewarded, and tradable actions. Via AI or trusted agents, activities like climate actions, social help, or education are logged on-chain and tied to reward tokens and pool yields. These SDG-aligned tokens feed into liquidity pools that generate income, enabling users to earn by doing good. It creates a circular economy where social impact directly produces financial returns.

HISA smart contracts handle:
HISA utilizes intelligent, modular pool structures powered by smart contracts and agentic AI to deliver decentralized, programmable access to financial, social, and wellness services. These pools form the backbone of the HISA ecosystem, enabling users to save, invest, protect, and earn rewards through trust-minimized, AI-managed mechanisms. Pools are structured around a unified logic of yield generation, impact tracking, and user-specific customization—designed to align with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), promote mental wellness, and advance financial inclusion across diverse user profiles, including offline and underserved populations.
a. Smart Contract Automation All pools operate via audited smart contracts, eliminating custodial risk and enabling programmable rules for deposit, withdrawal, yield accrual, and penalty enforcement.
b. Agentic AI Oversight HISA's on-chain AI acts as a trust-minimized third-party agent. It monitors pool health, assesses user behavior (e.g., risk tolerance, engagement), optimizes fund distribution, detects anomalies, and triggers automated balancing when thresholds are crossed. The AI also performs:
c. Automated Market Maker (AMM) Logic At the core of HISA's pool architecture lies a custom-built Automated Market Maker (AMM) framework designed to facilitate seamless liquidity, fair token pricing, and sustainable yield distribution across the ecosystem.
