Wealth Certificate on a private blockchain

Claude Code, used by the E-DEED team on the live platform

The challenge

Homeowners in South African townships and on tribal or untitled land can spend years improving a house and still have nothing a bank will treat as property. E-DEED exists to close that gap: value the home, check the documents, and issue a Wealth Certificate a finance partner can use.

Verification used to take weeks, and shipping fixes and features on the platform was too slow for a product that has to stay in front of banks.

The approach

  1. The E-DEED team uses Claude Code on the live platform, not as a side tool. It is integral to every part of the SDLC.
  2. The platform runs AI property evaluations and a private EVM-compatible chain that mints property NFTs for finance partners.
  3. A homeowner registers and uploads documents. The documents are verified, the property is confirmed, and E-DEED issues the Wealth Certificate. The certificate supports a first home insurance policy and a finance conversation with banks.

"My experience with Scrums can only be commended and appreciated. You are a professional outfit and accommodating to our possibly very unique circumstances."
