Meet Project OakGate
Leah starts with familiar sign-in, Funds and Records. Discover how the custodial version of Safebox wraps convenience around safebox-acorn, with a path to individual independence built into its direction.
From a wallet to a card
At a community café, Maya pairs her wallet with the counter terminal, approves her own card, pays with a tap, and presents a record at the terminal. Her phone doesn't need to write NFC cards—the terminal takes care of that.
One wallet, several counters
Sam equips his shop and market kiosks with affordable Android phones. Each accepts Everyday Funds or Community Credits into his wallet, with its own activation and revocation. Staff can collect payments and request customer record presentations without receiving his wallet login.
A day at the beach
Kai leaves her phone behind. Her bracelet lets her show resort membership, pay for surfing and present emergency information with a contact-wallet access notice.
A hamper. A choice. A little dignity.
A city funds food hamper credits. Aid workers distribute them, families pay at participating food banks, and treasurers redeem the credits to keep food moving. Follow one family's experience of support without another personal interview at the counter.
