01 / Overview
Overview
Cambodian families invite by a picture in a chat, then count replies and gifts by hand. Thiep (ធៀប) turns the invitation into a page: a host answers a few questions, picks one of six worlds, and shares a link that opens like an envelope. Guests reply in one tap, leave a wish, and send their gift by the hosts' own KHQR. The rule the product is built around is that gift money goes straight from guest to host; Thiep never holds it. Hosts sign in with an emailed code, and a premium event is paid by KHQR on Thiep's own pay sheet.

03 / Where it stands
Where it stands
Not deployed. The core runs end to end on a laptop and in its tests; no host or guest has used it, and no money has moved: payments have only been exercised as test payments in the bank's sandbox. The Khmer ceremony wording still waits for a reader's check.
