The Opportunity

Problem

Rural Togolese entrepreneurs are unable to run blockchain nodes or access decentralized apps due to unreliable and slow internet connectivity.

Solution

TogoRPC acts as a smart proxy that caches frequent RPC calls locally on user devices, batches requests during brief connectivity windows, and compresses data by 90% for seamless Web3 access. Users install a lightweight agent that syncs in the background, enabling node-like functionality without running full nodes. It supports Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon out-of-the-box.

Target Audience

Entrepreneurs in rural Togo pursuing Web3 and blockchain ventures

Differentiator

Tailored compression and opportunistic syncing algorithms optimized for Togo's 2G/3G networks, reducing data usage by 95% compared to standard RPCs.
