Also, the country’s authorities promise to allocate land plots to those who locked Sango Coin for $10 000 for a period of 10 years.
The state cryptocurrency itself was released in early July. With Sango Coin, the CAR plans to tokenize its natural resources. According to President Faustin-Archange Touadéra, the asset will exist alongside bitcoin as an official means of payment.
Also on July 25, the CAR launched Sango, a bitcoin sidechain, the platform has built-in bitcoin interoperability through a two-way peg mechanism. Users who deposit BTC into the Sango sidechain can mine Sango Bitcoin (s-BTC), a wrapped version of bitcoin.
In April, the CAR became the first state in Africa to legalize bitcoin as legal tender. According to the government, this initiative will be able to help rebuild the economy.
