NairaX
The NairaX project represents an innovative solution to two perplexing problems in the global e-commerce space: transaction costs and volatility. Global e-commerce platforms have essentially created a “re-sale niche” which privileges extensive supply networks that deliver goods through various mediums to the final consumer.
This highly inefficient and expensive model has led to narrowing profit-margins and increased cost for both SMEs and consumers. The NairaX project offers a unique solution to this problem with an e-commerce model which leverages blockchain technology to significantly reduce arbitrage across various markets.
The volatility problem is a particularly sensitive one for SMEs which rely on stable forex markets for exchange of goods and services up and downstream the supply-chain. The scale of the problem is graphically captured by the NGN-USD price chart.
Inflationary policies, market forces and slump in oil-prices have all contributed to a relatively volatile naira which in turn has led to market-price inflations and now poses an existential threat to Nigerian SMEs.
NairaX proposes a solution to this problem with the NAIRX which is usable for e-commerce transactions (unlike traditional stable-coins) whilst maintain its fixed-ratio peg to the naira backed by NairaX’s in-house fiat reserves.

As evidenced by its performance from 2016 through 2020, the naira has endured an annual slump for the 5th consecutive year, thus underlining the necessity for businesses to adopt smart fiscal solutions to hedge against incessant depreciations.
A fiat-pegged stable-coin, NIRX offers merchants and SMEs a medium of transaction protected from both fiat and crypto market volatilities.
