Introduction

Executive Summary

Wafra is a fiat-to-fiat yield optimization platform enabling users to earn enhanced returns on USD deposits through diversified decentralized finance (DeFi) strategies. Users deposit fiat, which is converted to stablecoins by payment processors, allocated to yield-generating protocols by Wafra, and withdrawn as fiat at any time. The platform employs a secure wallet system with multi-signature authentication and passkey technology, ensuring bank-grade security and a seamless user experience.
