cNGN tokens are assets that move across the blockchain just as easily as other digital currencies and they also offer price stability as they are pegged on a 1-to-1 basis with Nigerian Naira (i.e, 1 cNGN = 1 NGN) and are backed 100% by ASC's reserves.

The cNGN is a digital token on open permissionless blockchain protocols, unlike other digital assets that fluctuate, it is designed to maintain a stable value. The cNGN token has democratized cross-border transactions across the blockchain and countries and is pegged to the naira on a 1-to-1 basis.

cNGN is relatively similar to other stablecoins like USDC, USDT, EURC & others, which are pegged to Goverment issued fiat currencies

The value proposition of cNGN is to bridge the gap between fiat and digital currencies, by offering a stable and compliant digital currency that is fast, secure, transparent, and borderless. cNGN is created and managed by the Africa Stablecoin Consortium, a group of licensed financial institutions, technology companies, and partner commercial banks. cNGN can be used for various transactions on the blockchain, such as sending or receiving payments, exchanging for other digital assets/cryptocurrencies or fiat currencies, etc. cNGN is compliant with the regulatory requirements and standards set by the CBN, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), and engages with them to ensure compliance, consumer protection, and transparency.
