The UNICEF-backed non-custodial wallet
Open source, offline-first and recognized as a Digital Public Good, the wallet reached 4M+ people across 167+ countries with the backing of the UNICEF Venture Fund.
Xcapit has already built digital public goods with UNICEF and with governments: an open wallet, a DAO for a child-protection digital public good, humanitarian-aid infrastructure and self-sovereign identity.
Xcapit Wallet
An open, non-custodial wallet, with investment from the UNICEF Venture Fund. Recognized as a Digital Public Good by the DPGA in May 2024.
An 18-month pilot with UNICEF Ventures and Primero to govern and fund Primero, UNICEF's child-protection DPG. Xcapit built and managed the technical development.
Infrastructure for humanitarian transfers, with a wallet that works over SMS, with no smartphone or internet. Digital Public Good certification in progress with UNICEF.
Milestones
Dec 2024: UNICEF Venture Fund mid-investment update, with USD 314,829 in growth funding for the humanitarian-aid platform.
Feb 2026: UNICEF Innovation published a story on the AidLink results from Nairobi: 49 participants received USDC by SMS on basic phones and cashed out to M-Pesa.
“Our solution ensures that aid reaches the right hands, on time, and in the right way.”
Self-sovereign identity of the Buenos Aires City Government, co-created by Xcapit and certified as a Digital Public Good in 2024. It runs on ZKsync Era.
With EPEC we designed an energy traceability foundation that encourages citizen participation in distributed, community renewable generation. The first project was the Mundo Maipú solar park in Greater Córdoba: the first community solar park in Argentina to tokenize its generation.

Renewable energy tokenization
Three tokens: PUG (participation in each generation project), ERI (Injected Renewable Energy, issued according to the kWh actually generated and injected into the grid) and Sustainability (environmental attributes). Burning 1,000 sustainability tokens issues a renewable energy certificate (REC) for 1 MWh, traceable on blockchain, with no double counting. Participants sign in with Ciudadano Digital, the Government of Córdoba's digital identity.
From one park to a community network
Building on the Mundo Maipú pilot, the solution is expanding to three new community generation parks in the province of Córdoba. Xcapit is also developing, with IDB Lab, a platform for the traceability of renewable energy certificates at national scale (in development).
This experience underpins provenance and impact certification (04).
QuarkID, the Buenos Aires City Government's self-sovereign identity system, co-created by Xcapit. Xcapit also supported its certification as a Digital Public Good (September 2024).
A social simulation that estimates how citizens would react to public-service decisions, such as tariffs, service interruptions or new products, before they are made. It uses explainable AI and public data with provenance, and states its uncertainty.
“It doesn't predict: it estimates with archetypes, explains why, and states what it doesn't know.”
