Inspiration
Since I got into the Polkadot Ecosystem, I have had a lot of instances where I received payments in the Polkadot native stablecoins. As a Nigerian, converting my stablecoins into Naira has always been a thorn in the ass.
I have to go through several exchanges, swaps and transfers before I can finally get my stablecoins converted into naira and spend as I wish, this motivated me to build a solution for myself and other Nigerians who are Polkadot users. I then came up with an idea of a Webapp that I can just connect to my Polkadot wallet and swap my stablecoin tokens in exchange for Naira.
Why Fluxipay? Target Audience: Polkadot native assets holders, Polkadot enthusiasts and creators who want naira in exchange for DOT native currency. Solution provided: Allows seamless conversion of DOT currencies into naira, removing the needs for third party exchanges.
