Description

Linq overview Linq is a payments infrastructure startup enabling users in Nigeria (eventually across Africa) to spend stablecoins like cash. Our platform bridges the gap between crypto holdings and everyday commerce through two complementary products. Product 1: Linq Consumer App (Live)**Users connect their crypto wallet to our webapp and spend stablecoins for everyday purchases like food, groceries, and services. Linq handles the off-ramping behind the scenes, settling merchants in NGN in real time, delivering a seamless and cash-like experience for users without much crypto knowledge required.**Supported blockchains:**SUISolanaBaseBSCAptosStellar (planned)**Product 2: B2B Merchant Settlement Platform (In Development)**Merchants generate a QR code linked to their Linq business account. Customers scan it, see the wallet address and payment amount, and pay in stablecoins from their own wallet. The merchant instantly receives the equivalent in NGN directly to their bank account, no wallets, no manual conversion, no crypto complexity on the merchant side.
