Africa has one of the fastest-growing digital ecosystems in the world. As internet penetration and mobile phone usage on the continent increase, millions of Africans are conducting business online and actively participating in new internet technologies. There are an estimated 90.9  million ecommerce users in Nigeria alone and the number of on-chain transactions performed in sub-Saharan Africa between July 2022 and June 2023 was valued at $117.1 billion. With Nigeria already being one of the top users of blockchain technology in Africa, and now that the federal government has lifted its two-year ban on crypto accounts, the number of on-chain transactions in Africa is expected to rise even more.

Gift cards have also found their way into the African market and have become quite a popular means of trading and a valuable commodity. These gift cards come in the form of retail cards, like Amazon or Apple; prepaid gift cards, and even crypto gift cards. Gift card trading is a flexible and legitimate way of making and saving money and consumers can use the gift cards they get to shop online or trade them in for cash. The problem with trading these cards for cash and performing other blockchain transactions in Nigeria is that finding a reputable, safe, and affordable platform to trade is difficult. There are scammers on the prowl for unsuspecting victims and exchange sites with low rates that leave traders with barely any profit. To solve these problems, meet FlashChange, a secure and user-friendly platform for managing digital assets.
