Three young tech innovators from Kaduna have developed a new platform, TAPNOB, aimed at making Bitcoin simple, practical, and accessible for everyday transactions across Africa.
The founders, Fishon Amos (CEO), Mubarak Muhammad Aminu (CTO), and Solomon Emmanuel (Principal Engineer), unveiled the project in July 2025 after months of collaboration at Kaduna’s CoLab and Abuja’s Bitnob hub.
According to the team, TAPNOB was created to address frustrations with digital assets in Africa, where users could store cryptocurrency but rarely spend it for daily needs such as groceries or remittances.
Within weeks of its launch, the platform had processed more than 1,500 transactions valued at $15,000, supported by partnerships with Bitnob and Mavapay. Unlike risky peer-to-peer trading, TAPNOB enables direct, transparent settlements into bank accounts or mobile wallets.
The founders, who previously worked across leading tech firms and open-source Bitcoin projects, said their mission is to provide Africans with reliable financial tools. “Africa doesn’t just need hype, it needs solutions,” Amos stated.
While acknowledging challenges such as regulatory uncertainty, liquidity issues, and rebuilding user trust, the team expressed confidence about the future. They plan to double transaction volumes monthly, expand into more African markets, and establish TAPNOB as a Bitcoin-native financial layer for the continent.
For Aminu, success will mean that “someone walks into a store in Kaduna, pays with Bitcoin, and doesn’t think twice about it.”
