Provider Configuration
Section titled “Provider Configuration”Fiat Ramp: HoneyCoin
Section titled “Fiat Ramp: HoneyCoin”- Type: Off-ramp and on-ramp
- Confirmed coverage: NG, GH, KE, UG (additional West African markets to be confirmed)
- Off-ramp fee: 0.3-1% of transaction value
- FX spread: 0.2-0.8%
- Provider deposit address expiry: 1 hour
- Virtual account: persistent, per-org (pending confirmation on details — see Open Questions)
Identity Verification: Shufti Pro
Section titled “Identity Verification: Shufti Pro”- KYC: document verification across 10,000+ document types in 230+ countries
- KYB: business verification against 300+ data sources in 250+ jurisdictions
- Tier 1: eIDV endpoint (database lookup, no document upload) — coverage for first configured markets pending confirmation
- Tier 2: Journey Builder (hosted flow with government ID + face verification + 3D liveness)
- Tier 3: Same as Tier 2 plus address verification and AML screening
Shufti Pro’s 230+ country coverage means additional African markets are likely supported without adding a new identity provider. Per-market ID type support must be confirmed.
Activating a New Market
Section titled “Activating a New Market”This is the standard operating model — not an exception. Every new market follows the same steps:
- Fiat ramp provider — confirm an existing provider covers the jurisdiction, or add a new provider behind the ramp facade
- Jurisdiction thresholds — add a row to
jurisdictionThresholdstable in Convex with KYC tier limits for the jurisdiction - Identity verification — confirm Shufti Pro coverage for the jurisdiction’s ID types and government databases, or add a new provider behind the verification facade
- Legal review — confirm KYC/AML obligations for crypto-to-fiat payroll disbursements in the jurisdiction
No platform code changes required. The facade pattern and jurisdiction configuration tables handle the rest. This process applies equally to the next West African market and to the first Middle Eastern or Latin American market.
