TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES
Built for the Sahel
Every design decision accounts for extreme heat, dust, intermittent grid access, and
the realities of operating in West Africa.
99%-
Uptime target
Solor-first design with battery
storage ensures the network stays
online even during full national grid
failures.
<60s
Swap time
Vertical swap architecture and
trained Yennenga Warriors ensure
every exchange completes taster
than a fucl stop.
