XPR Circles
The concept

Save together with people you trust.

A savings circle (known globally as a tanda, susu, or equb) is a time-tested community method where a small group pools money regularly, and each round one person takes the entire pot.

How it works in practice

Imagine five friends who want to save together. They agree to contribute 100 USDC each month for 5 months:

MonthEveryone paysTakes the pot
1100 USDCAlice (500 USDC)
2100 USDCBob (500 USDC)
3100 USDCCharlie (500 USDC)
4100 USDCDave (500 USDC)
5100 USDCEve (500 USDC)

Nobody gains or loses money. What changes is timing.

Alice gets an interest-free loan in month 1 to cover an immediate expense, which she repays over 4 months. Eve saves steadily and receives 500 USDC at once in month 5 for a planned purchase.

How it works on XPR Network

1

Create and share one link

The organizer sets the payment amount, frequency (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) and number of seats, then sends the link to friends or family via WhatsApp or Telegram.

2

Join with a security deposit

Each member deposits 1 to 3 rounds into the smart contract. This deposit stays in the contract to protect everyone against missed payments, and is refunded in full at the end.

3

Everyone approves the payout order

Before the circle can start, the organizer proposes who receives the pot in which round. Every member must explicitly approve their slot.

4

Pay each round with one click

Members receive automated Telegram reminders before each round deadline. Paying takes one tap with FaceID or fingerprint in the WebAuth app.

5

Automatic payouts & returned deposits

At each round deadline, the pot is sent automatically to that round's recipient. When the final round ends, every member's security deposit is unlocked and returned.

Why on XPR Network?
