DeFi wallet BUIDL for Hedera Africa Hackathon 2025
# HederaVault
*A non-custodial DeFi wallet unlocking seamless Hedera-powered finance*
---
## Overview
**HederaVault** is a decentralized wallet built for the **Hedera Africa Hackathon 2025**.
It solves the problem of **expensive cross-border payments** and **limited access to DeFi tools** by leveraging **Hedera Hashgraph**’s fast, low-cost, and eco-friendly infrastructure.
---
## Problem
- High fees for sending money across borders
- Poor user experience in existing crypto wallets
- Custodial wallets force users to give up control of their assets
- Lack of accessible DeFi solutions tailored for African users
---
## Our Solution
HederaVault makes DeFi simple and accessible by:
- **Multi-token support** → send, receive, and swap Hedera Token Service (HTS) assets
- **Cross-border remittance** → stablecoin integration to reduce costs
- **Portfolio & yield tracking** → staking and passive income dashboards
- **User-friendly onboarding** → optional Web2 login and recovery for new users
---
## Tech Stack (Planned)
- **Frontend:** React + Tailwind
- **Backend:** Node.js / Express
- **Blockchain:** Hedera Hashgraph (HTS + HCS)
- **Wallet SDKs:** HashConnect, Hedera JS SDK
- **Database (optional):** Firebase (for non-sensitive user settings)
