Yes. Our model is local first currencies <> cryptocurrencies. We've been doing this in Zimbabwe since 2015 and now doing tihs in Kenya, South Africa and Uganda. We'll eventually be in every country in Africa.

Good to see that African projects start to come out from the shadows. Will you guys offer the fiat gateway for your crypto exchange? I believe so, because hard cap seems high to be honest to build an exhange.

Golix is a cryptocurrency exchange that has been around since 2015 (albeit only in Zimbabwe). It has now just launched in 3 other countries (Kenya, Uganda, South Africa).
At Golix we believe, very strongly, that cryptocurrency was designed for Africa.
Unlike other exchanges that are primarily designed for day traders, Golix differentiates itself as an outfit focused on the African market and design to incorporate 2 additional customer segments: those sending remittances to Africa and Africans that are looking to make cross-border payments.

THE PROBLEM
The majority of Africans have no mechanisms to exchange value between the continent’s fiat currencies and cryptocurrency options and vice versa. This has denied them of a decentralised solution to
some of the challenges inherent in the African financial services ecosystem such as:
A broken remittances model that is littered by inconvenient and extremely risky informal solutions. These are only substituted by formal solutions that assign punitive charges to migrants sending money to their home countries. The US$60 billion African remittances market has the highest costs for remittances in the world which exceed the already high global average.
Making international payments from any African country is an expensive, slow and complicated process, even for cross border payments. This is attributed to institutional fees, international clearance models and currency shortages.
Access to cryptocurrencies - There are limited ways in which Africans can participate on international cryptocurrency exchanges like Binance due to an inability to buy cryptocurrency with
their local African fiat. They either don’t have access to exchanges or those that are available to them don’t accept their local fiat.
OUR SOLUTION
Golix is addressing these challenges through its active Exchange in Zimbabwe. It now intends to apply these solutions to the rest of Africa by setting up exchanges in multiple countries. A new token - the GOLIX Token (GLX) - will be issued to provide users on all these exchanges an additional means of value transfer between fiat and cryptocurrencies.
