NEAR Protocol is a fast, developer-friendly blockchain with a focus on usability. NEAR’s low fees and high speed make it attractive for African traders looking beyond Ethereum.
P2P crypto trading is widely practised in Nigeria and is not explicitly banned for individuals. The CBN restricts banks from processing crypto transactions — that is why P2P via OPay, PalmPay, and Kuda exists. Millions of Nigerians use it daily. As with any financial activity, use reputable platforms and stay updated on CBN guidance.
