Welcome to the DeryCode developer and client documentation. Here you'll find everything you need — from how to start a project with us, to integrating the DeryCoin API and deploying smart contracts.
Starting a project with DeryCode is simple. Follow these steps to get from idea to kick-off.
Use our booking form or WhatsApp us directly. Tell us your idea, goals, and budget range.
We schedule a 30–60 minute call to understand your requirements, tech stack preferences, timeline, and audience.
Within 48 hours we send a detailed proposal — scope, deliverables, timeline, and itemised cost in UGX.
Accept the proposal, sign the agreement, and pay the first milestone (usually 40% upfront) to begin.
We build in sprints, share progress regularly, and collect your feedback until the product is perfect.
We deploy your product, hand over all assets and credentials, and provide 30 days free post-launch support.
We follow an agile, milestone-based process to keep you informed and in control at every stage.

DeryCoin (DRC) is a blockchain-based utility token created by DeryCode to power digital commerce, rewards, and financial inclusion across Uganda and East Africa.
DeryCoin is designed with a sustainable tokenomics model that rewards early adopters and ecosystem participants.
You can acquire DeryCoin directly from DeryCode or through supported exchanges.
Install MetaMask or Trust Wallet on your phone or browser. Create a new wallet and securely save your seed phrase.
Buy Ethereum (ETH) or USDT from a local exchange or P2P platform. Send it to your wallet address.
WhatsApp us at +256 772 002 326 to purchase DRC directly at current rates.
After payment confirmation, DRC tokens are sent directly to your wallet within 30 minutes.
The DeryCode API lets you integrate our services and DeryCoin functionality into your own applications.
