This article deals with the issue of client solvency in microfinance. Microfinance includes all financial products and services designed for a public excluded from traditional banking circuits. The development of these microfinances is a very important issue and makes it possible to reduce the unemployment rate. However, the lack of customer solvency makes the management of these microfinances complex. In this article, we propose a microfinance management technique based on the use of K-nearest neighbor (KNN) and smart contract algorithms. The proposed approach makes it possible to model the b
