## Overview
African merchants face constant FX volatility. Naira depreciation erodes margins on international transactions. Traditional hedging is inaccessible to small businesses.
Float provides:
- **Stablecoin Rails** — Convert and hold value in USD-pegged assets
- **FX Protection** — Lock in rates for predictable costs
- **Paystack/Stripe Integration** — Works with existing payment infrastructure
- **Merchant Dashboard** — Track exposure and hedge positions
---
## Design Thesis
> Financial infrastructure should protect merchants, not expose them.
The interface makes FX risk visible and actionable for businesses of any size.
