In 2023, when I started working on Ramps, the goal was to make access to stablecoins seamless for everyday Nigerians. Looking back now, especially after Binance shut down P2P in early 2024, it almost feels prophetic.
The main channel Nigerians once used to access digital dollars disappeared overnight — exactly the problem Ramps was designed to solve.
We were building for the future without even realizing it, a local-first way for Nigerians to buy and sell stablecoins using familiar payment methods, with cash settled directly into their bank accounts.

With the Naira so volatile, this felt like a game changer. For many, this wasn’t just a product, it was a glimpse of financial hope. That became the real challenge and the start of Ramps. We built Ramps first to serve Nigerian users, but quickly realized the market opportunity was much bigger.
What if Nigerians could not only buy NGNC (Naira digital token), but also buy digital dollars like USDC/T with their local currency and sell them and get it settled in their bank accounts?
The challenge had now expanded. It wasn’t just about enabling Nigerians to buy NGNC and join a yield pool. It was about giving them simple access to the on-chain world using the currency they trust.

The story of Ramps started in 2023. Stablecoins like USDC and USDT were booming globally — yet none existed for the Nigerian Naira. We decided to create our own token (NGNC) to fill the gap; a digital version of the Naira that Nigerians could actually use on-chain.
To give it utility, we partnered with a decentralized protocol offering liquidity pools and yields averaging 300% APR.
That meant two things:
NGNC could be swapped with USDC
Nigerians suddenly had access to a high-yield pool paying out in $$ daily.
