Two African professionals exchanging work on Zana — protected by smart contract escrow

Why Zana Exists

Africa's informal work economy
is massive. It just needed rails.

Every day, millions of tasks get assigned through WhatsApp groups, Telegram channels, and word of mouth, with no contracts, no escrow, and no guaranteed payment. Zana formalizes that market with instant escrowed payouts.
