NADD API provides secure, programmable access to NADD payment and settlement infrastructure for banks, payment service providers, digital wallets, exchanges, merchant platforms, treasury systems, and enterprise applications.
NADD AI, called Endola, adds a verified financial intelligence layer to NADD Pay on WhatsApp. It helps users understand balances, recent activity, alerts, insights, recommendations, financial health scores, cash-flow indicators, business activity, and FinBox items using verified NADD Pay records.
NADD Pay applies a straightforward transfer fee policy designed to keep payments affordable, transparent, and easy to understand. All applicable fees are calculated automatically and displayed before a transaction is authorized.
Wallet-to-wallet transfers initiated through NADD Pay on WhatsApp are charged a fee of 0.5% of the transfer amount, subject to a minimum fee of 0.05 NADD.
Transfer fees are paid only by the sender. Recipients receive the full transfer amount with no receiving fees deducted from their NADD wallet.
Before every transfer is completed, NADD Pay displays the transfer amount, applicable fee, and total amount to be debited, allowing users to review the transaction before entering their PIN.
The NADD Pay fee model is designed to support affordable digital payments for individuals, merchants, and businesses while maintaining a transparent and predictable pricing structure.
Launching soon, the NADD Debit Card extends the NADD Pay ecosystem beyond WhatsApp payments by enabling users to access their NADD balances through virtual and physical debit cards, merchant payments, ATM access, and programmable financial services.
NADD Virtual Debit Card provides instant digital card access linked to a user's NADD wallet. It is designed for online purchases, subscriptions, digital services, and secure card payments without requiring a physical card.
The NADD Physical Debit Card enables users to spend NADD-supported balances through everyday merchant payments, tap-to-pay transactions, and ATM access where supported by card network infrastructure.
NADD Card integrates payment conversion logic designed to support multi-currency spending, allowing users to access NADD balances alongside supported digital assets and settlement currencies through secure payment rails.
NADD Card management provides users with controls for card activation, security settings, spending preferences, transaction visibility, and wallet-linked payment management through the NADD ecosystem.
Endola AI is designed as the financial intelligence layer inside NADD Pay on WhatsApp. It uses verified NADD Pay records to help users understand account activity, financial health, risk alerts, insights, recommendations, cash-flow indicators, business activity, and FinBox items in simple English.
Endola AI can help users understand balances, recent activity, wallet events, deposits, withdrawals, business payments, and supported NADD Pay records. It is designed to answer from verified records instead of guessing.
Endola AI can show a user's NADD AI Financial Health Score, including spending, savings, revenue, and risk indicators. The score is informational only and is not a credit score, lending decision, bank rating, regulatory assessment, or formal financial advice.
Endola AI brings important alerts, generated insights, recommendations, and financial inbox items into one guided WhatsApp experience so users can see what needs attention and what actions may help them manage their NADD Pay activity.

NADD utilizes a standardized visual identity framework to support recognition, usability, and adoption across digital and physical environments. All branding elements are designed strictly for identification, communication, and user experience purposes, and do not represent physical currency, legal tender instruments, or minted assets.
The "NADD Accepted" sign is a standardized visual identifier indicating that a merchant supports NADD as a digital payment method. Merchants may download, print, and display this signage at their premises to inform customers of NADD acceptance.
The "NADD coin" visual is a symbolic, non-physical representation used for digital interfaces, educational materials, and product visualization. It does not correspond to any physical issuance of currency and should be understood purely as a graphical abstraction of the on-chain NADD unit.
The stacked coin imagery is used to illustrate scale, liquidity, and transactional volume within digital environments. It is a visual aid designed to communicate value flow and system capacity, without implying physical reserves or cash equivalents in circulation.

This section gives direct clarification on NADD's function, purpose, and infrastructure orientation.
Yes. NADD is a blockchain-native stablecoin designed to maintain a 1-to-1 value relationship with the Namibian Dollar (NAD), where 1 NADD represents 1 NAD in value. Unlike volatile digital assets whose prices fluctuate based on market demand, NADD is designed to provide price stability by representing NAD value on-chain and enabling digital transfer, settlement, and payment functionality through blockchain infrastructure.
NADD tokens are blockchain-based digital assets designed to represent the value of the Namibian Dollar (NAD) on-chain. NADD tokens move across blockchain networks like other digital assets while providing price stability through a 1-to-1 peg with the Namibian Dollar (i.e., 1 NADD = 1 NAD).
NADD is a blockchain-native digital asset designed to represent the value of the Namibian Dollar (NAD) on open blockchain networks. Unlike other digital assets that may experience significant price fluctuations, NADD is designed to maintain a stable value through a 1-to-1 peg with the Namibian Dollar (i.e., 1 NADD = 1 NAD). NADD enables digital representation, transfer, and settlement of NAD value across blockchain infrastructure, supporting real-world digital payments, financial services, and cross-border payment innovation.
NADD shares similarities with other fiat-pegged stablecoins such as USDt (USA), USDC (USA), EURt (Europe), ZARP (South Africa), ZARU (South Africa), cNGN (Nigeria), and nTZS (Tanzania), which are designed to maintain a stable value relative to government-issued currencies. The key distinction is that NADD is specifically designed to represent the value of the Namibian Dollar (NAD) on-chain, providing a blockchain-native digital representation of Namibia’s local currency. NADD is focused on enabling practical digital payments, settlement, and financial infrastructure use cases within Namibia and across African markets, including accessible payment solutions such as NADD Pay.
NADD is designed for digital payments, merchant settlement, digital transfers, infrastructure interoperability, and programmable financial workflows, enabling users and businesses to transact with a blockchain-native representation of the Namibian Dollar through secure and transparent digital systems.
NADD is deployed on blockchain infrastructure designed for secure, efficient, and scalable digital payments. NADD currently operates on the BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), leveraging its high transaction capacity, low transaction costs, and broad accessibility within the global blockchain ecosystem.
Yes. The token supply can be queried directly from the smart contract, and transfers can be reviewed on-chain.
