## The Problem
Across Africa, savings lose value every day to inflation and currency depreciation. In Nigeria, annual inflation exceeds 33%. In Ghana, it's above 23%. Traditional hedging tools — derivatives, FX forwards, options — are locked behind institutional gates.
**INJedge Africa** turns Injective's perpetuals infrastructure into a simple "Protect my savings" button.
