Super fast cross-border payments for Nigeria built on blockchain

Cowrie provides businesses with a next-generation solution that increases speed and lowers the cost of international payments to and from Nigeria.

By issuing tokens backed by Naira on the global, decentralized, Stellar network, Cowrie eliminates costly foreign exchange and transaction fees and slow processing times associated with traditional banking rails.

Our Approach

We developed the Cowrie Exchange platform using digital tokens known as stablecoins.

We created NGNT, an asset backed digital token pegged to the Nigerian Naira that enables seamless conversion between fiat and other cryptocurrencies.
Cowrie Exchange is developed on the Stellar blockchain which is an open-source decentralized network for storing and moving money.
