CRIA is an AI-powered remittance agent on Celo that lets anyone send stablecoins (USDC, cUSD) across borders using plain English. Say "Send 5000 NGN to 0x..." and CRIA handles the conversion, routing, and settlement in ~5 seconds on Celo Mainnet.
To make cross-border payments as simple as sending a text message — fast, cheap, and accessible to anyone with a phone, powered by Celo's mobile-first blockchain.
Cross-border payments remain slow, expensive, and inaccessible — especially for Africa and emerging markets. Traditional remittance services charge 5–10% fees and take days to settle. Most crypto solutions require technical knowledge that everyday users don't have.
CRIA is a natural language remittance agent built on Celo. Users simply tell it what they want — in plain text or local currency (NGN, KES, GHS) — and CRIA converts and settles the payment on-chain in seconds for a fraction of a cent. It uses ERC-8004 for on-chain agent identity and OpenAI/Gemini for intent parsing.
CRIA charges a small service fee (0.01 USDC) per remittance transaction. As volume scales, this fee model generates sustainable revenue while staying far cheaper than traditional remittance services.
