NairaChain

A crypto payment gateway built for fast, secure, and borderless transactions across Africa.

Moving money across African borders is slow and expensive, and most crypto tools assume a user who already understands wallets and gas fees. NairaChain needed a gateway that:

• Settles payments quickly without the usual cross-border delay
• Stays understandable to someone who has never used crypto
• Holds up under the security expectations of handling funds
• Integrates cleanly into merchants existing checkout flows

We built a payment gateway that hides the complexity of the underlying rails behind an interface a merchant and a customer can both follow.

• A checkout flow that reads like any other payment method
• Clear confirmation at every step, so nobody sends into uncertainty
• Merchant dashboard with settlement and transaction history
• Documented API for integration into existing systems

• Merchant checkout

  A drop-in payment flow merchants can add without rebuilding their cart.

• Settlement dashboard

  Transactions, balances, and settlement status in one view.

• Transaction history

  Searchable records so a merchant can reconcile without contacting support.

• Developer API

  Documented endpoints for teams integrating the gateway themselves.

• 1

  Familiar over novel

  The checkout deliberately resembles conventional payment flows, because unfamiliarity costs conversions when money is involved.

• 2

  Confirmation before commitment

  Amounts and destinations are shown plainly before anything is sent, since crypto transfers cannot be reversed.

• 3

  Readable on modest hardware

  Built to stay usable on mid-range phones and slower connections.

The gateway is live and handling merchant transactions. Measured performance figures will be published here once they have been properly recorded.
