Treejer Partners With Kotani Pay to Enable Off-Ramp in Africa

Treejer is delighted to announce its partnership with Kotani Pay, a digital assets ramp for African countries.

The purpose of this partnership is to provide African planters with a tool to offramp their digital assets to fiat currency. Treejer planters receive payments in DAI, a decentralized stablecoin pegged to USD. Planters need to exchange the stablecoins for their local fiat currency, so they can use it in their daily life. With Kotani Pay, individuals from rural communities will be able to easily withdraw the stablecoins to mobile money, a popular payment service in Africa.

Kotani Pay has started working with planters from Ghana and Uganda, while they keep working to be able to serve planters in other countries such as Tanzania. Their platform is also available in Kenya, where we hope to onboard planter communities in the near future.
