Why Africa needs its own coin

Africans pay the highest remittance fees in the world, trade across 40+ currencies, and lead the planet in mobile-money adoption — yet most of the rails are owned elsewhere. Africoin exists to put a neutral, borderless unit of value in African hands.

🌍 Borderless by design

AfCFTA created the world's largest free-trade area by number of countries. AFRI is a single digital settlement asset any trader can send from Lagos to Nairobi to Cairo in seconds — no SWIFT, no dollar detour, no bank hours.

💸 Crush the cost of sending money

Sending $200 home to Sub-Saharan Africa costs ~8% on average — the highest in the world. On BNB Smart Chain, an AFRI transfer costs a few cents, settles in ~3 seconds, and works on any smartphone.

🔐 Own your money, verifiably

AFRI has a fixed supply of 1 billion, an open-source verified contract, no owner switch, no freeze function and no hidden fees. Nobody — including us — can print more or block your wallet. The code is the promise.

The AFRI token

A minimal, audited-pattern OpenZeppelin contract on BNB Smart Chain — the blockchain built by Binance. Simple on purpose: fixed supply, burnable, nothing else.

Questions, answered straight

What is Africoin?

A fixed-supply BEP-20 token (AFRI) on BNB Smart Chain plus a mission: make moving value across Africa as cheap and instant as sending a text. The contract is deliberately minimal — 1 billion tokens, burnable, no owner powers — so you never have to trust us, only the code.

Is AFRI listed on Binance?

AFRI runs on BNB Smart Chain — the blockchain built by Binance — from day one, and you'll buy it with BNB on PancakeSwap. Trading directly on the Binance exchange is a separate step: Binance reviews listing applications itself and no project can self-register. Applying is Phase 4 of our roadmap, and we will only ever announce it here when it's real. Be suspicious of any token that "guarantees" a Binance listing.

When can I buy, and how?

The moment the contract is deployed and liquidity is live, the official address appears in the Token section above and the "Trade on PancakeSwap" button activates. Follow the 4 steps in "How to get AFRI" — wallet, BNB, swap, done.

Which wallets work?

Trust Wallet and MetaMask are the standard choices; both are free and work on Android, iOS and desktop. Add the BNB Smart Chain network (chain ID 56), and you're ready.

Is Africoin an investment that will make me rich?

No one can promise you that, and anyone who does is lying to you. AFRI is a utility and community token; its price can go up or down sharply. Never put in money you can't afford to lose, and treat "guaranteed profit" messages as the scams they are.

How do I avoid scams?

Three rules: (1) the only real AFRI contract address is the one on this page; (2) nobody legitimate will ever DM you first, "help" you recover funds, or ask for your 12-word phrase; (3) verify everything on BscScan before you send anything. Your recovery phrase is your money — it never leaves your paper.
