COWRIE is a crypto. The COWRIE is conceived by the need to give South Africans an advantage. The COWRIE is as a COBRA initiative developed for the benefit of the upliftment of local people and the development of their local communities within South Africa.

The COWRIE initiative, which combines legal, with blockchain and mobile as core technology, places much needed community upliftment income directly into the hands of the people or projects they are intended for from all around the world – whilst ensuring radical transparency.
