Gonana — The Farmers Place

Agricultural infrastructure for Africa: digital profiles, USD-priced listings, and smart-contract escrow on Soneium and Base.

Headquartered in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria. Building the rails for transparent farm-to-market trade.

The problem

Smallholder farmers produce much of Africa's food yet remain cut off from profitable markets, fair price discovery, and fast settlement.

  • Dependence on intermediaries who capture most of the value
  • Delayed and opaque cross-border payments
  • Weak digital identity and traceability for buyers
  • Limited access to structured markets and credit

The solution

Gonana is a live marketplace at gonanafarms.com where verified farmers list produce in USD, buyers fund on-chain escrow, and 95% releases to the farmer on confirmed delivery.

  • Farmer KYC and verification workflow
  • USDC and native ETH escrow on Soneium and Base
  • 5% transparent platform fee — farmers keep 95%
  • Public farmer profiles, marketplace discovery, and order tracking

Traction

Gonana is operational in production with real escrow contracts, not a concept deck.

  • 450,000+ smallholder farmers profiled with Plateau State Government
  • 10,000+ farmers via GAIN partnership on vitamin A staples
  • Live GonanaEscrow on Soneium (chain 1868) and Base
  • Crypto-only checkout: USDC/USDC.e and ETH — no card rails

Business model

Today: 5% platform fee on successful escrow releases. Farmers receive 95% directly to their payout wallet.

Tomorrow: Pro and Cooperative tiers (crypto-native billing), plus GONANA token utility for rewards, fee discounts, and governance.

GONANA token

Fixed supply of 1.6 billion GONANA on Soneium — one token for every person in Africa, symbolizing the continent we serve.

Escrow settlement remains stablecoin-native; GONANA is the ecosystem and community layer.

  • 40% farmers & cooperatives · 25% community reserve
  • 15% ecosystem · 10% team · 5% treasury · 5% liquidity
  • Full allocation and vesting on the tokenomics page

Roadmap

  • Now — Marketplace, KYC, escrow, farmer dashboard (live)
  • Next — GONANA ERC-20 deploy on Soneium mainnet
  • H2 — Farmer rewards, fee discounts, DEX liquidity
  • Future — Governance, cooperative sub-accounts, AI advisory integrations

Partnership & investment

We are raising strategic capital and ecosystem partnerships aligned with Soneium, African agriculture, and financial inclusion.
