What is Shirikia?
Shirikia is the main DAO — a decentralized financial platform that puts you in control of your money. Built on blockchain technology, it gives you access to savings, loans, governance, and a family of sub-DAOs for investments, welfare, and community savings. When you join Shirikia, you become part of the main DAO. You can save, borrow, and participate in platform-wide governance to shape how Shirikia evolves. Beyond the main DAO, Shirikia is home to independent sub-DAOs — each with its own purpose and its own governance that members can participate in.The Shirikia ecosystem

How it works
Shirikia combines the best of traditional finance with the transparency of blockchain:- Your account — Sign up with your email and password to access savings, loans, investments, and donations.
- Your wallet — Connect a crypto wallet (like Coinbase Wallet) to participate in on-chain features like the savings pool, donations, and governance voting.
- Your voice — Participate in governance at the platform level (Shirikia DAO) and within any sub-DAO or Sacco you belong to. Each has its own proposals and voting.
- Your community — Join or create savings groups (Saccos) to pool resources and support each other.
Shirikia runs on the Base network — a fast, low-cost blockchain. You only need a small amount of ETH for transaction fees when using on-chain features.
