Theme: Mobile readiness, beneficiary onboarding, and the first visible bridge between Sozu Pay and Sozu Wallet.
The first two weeks of the sprint focused on strengthening the foundations of the beneficiary wallet: authentication, ledger infrastructure, multi-device access, and account resilience.
Week 3 was different.
This was the moment when Sozu began evolving from a standalone financial wallet into a participant inside a larger aid distribution system.
For the first time, a beneficiary could begin entering the ecosystem through a dedicated onboarding flow designed around the Stellar Disbursement Platform (SDP). The product was no longer only answering the question:
“How do we create a better wallet?”
It was beginning to answer a much larger one:
“How does a person receive money from an organization if they have never used crypto before?”
That question shaped nearly every decision made during the week.
One of the recurring lessons throughout the development of Sozu is that beneficiaries do not wake up wanting a blockchain wallet.
They want to receive money.
The wallet is simply a tool.
Traditional crypto products often start by introducing technical concepts: seed phrases, addresses, private keys, networks, gas fees, and token standards.
