Novavance builds proprietary secure element infrastructure on the Monad blockchain — enabling hardware-grade, non-custodial payments for the 1B+ mobile subscribers of Sub-Saharan Africa and the autonomous economy.
The Platform
Novavance has developed a novel approach to blockchain transaction security that uses the hardware already embedded in every SIM card. The result: bank-grade, non-custodial payments with no new devices, no seed phrases, and no dependency on app stores or device operating systems.
Cryptographic operations are performed inside the SIM's tamper-resistant secure element — the same hardware trust anchor used by banks and governments worldwide. No software wallet can match this security model.
The Novavance applet deploys Over-The-Air onto existing SIM estate. No hardware replacement. No new device. No network upgrade. This makes MNO-scale deployment commercially viable from day one.
Users hold their own keys — secured in hardware they already own. No exchange. No custodian. No counterparty risk. This is the security model the crypto industry has promised for a decade, now deliverable to the mass market.
Both MVPs completed comprehensive automated test campaigns — 152 tests across two systems, zero failures. Full architecture verification reports and test evidence are available under NDA to qualified partners.
Product 01 — Finance
A fully working non-custodial stablecoin wallet where the private key never leaves the SIM card. Transactions are authorized in hardware — not in an app, not on a server, not by a third party.
Built for Sub-Saharan Africa's 1B+ mobile subscribers, where currency instability drives urgent demand for dollar-denominated savings and cross-border transfers — and where hardware security is the only viable path to mass-market trust.
Product 02 — Autonomous Payments
The world's first fully autonomous EV charging authorization system secured by a SIM secure element. A vehicle arrives, plugs in, and pays — with zero human interaction, zero apps, and zero cards required.
Intelligent on-device authorization evaluates fraud risk, cost limits, and vehicle state in real time. The SIM secure element produces a cryptographically signed authorization. The charging station verifies and enables current flow. Total time: under 600 milliseconds.
Evidence
Both systems are fully operational MVPs with comprehensive automated test campaigns. Architecture verification reports and test evidence are available under NDA to qualified partners and investors.
