Umoja enables on-chain FX at below market rates to localize DeFi.
Low-cost FX across Africa.
Low FX Fees
Umoja's FX AMM charges only 0.3%, which is re-distributed to liquidity providers that help mint synthetic fiat tokens (i.e., "uTokens").
Pan-Africa Support
Umoja is one of the first protocols ever to support African fiat currencies on-chain, initially including KES, NGN, and TZS to finally bring DeFi to the continent.
150% Collateralization
All uTokens are over-collateralized by 150% using stablecoins such as USDC to ensure that overlying value is always protected.
Swap Currencies at a fraction of the cost.
Swapping currencies via SynFX, Umoja's FX tool, can reduce currency conversion costs from 60% to 80% in contrast to the traditional market.
Monetize idle stablecoins & empower new markets.
Liquidity providers may provide stablecoins and earn transaction fees while empowering African markets to locally denominate DeFi & transact on their terms.
