A LITTLE MORE ABOUT SOKOMANDI
Big vision.
Clear answers.
The next chapter is taking shape.
Here is where we’re headed.
What is SokoMandi?
SokoMandi is an upcoming marketplace designed to connect business buyers and suppliers, with a planned crypto exchange and payment system alongside it. The ambition is to bring discovery, communication and cross-border commerce into a more connected experience.
Who is the marketplace being built for?
The initial focus is business trade: manufacturers, suppliers, wholesalers, merchants and commercial buyers. SokoMandi aims to help African businesses discover more choice, reach new markets and build international trading relationships.
Where will SokoMandi begin?
The starting vision centres on Pakistan–East Africa trade, including Kenya and Tanzania. The longer-term ambition is to connect more markets across Africa and expand access to international suppliers. Launch markets will be confirmed as the platform develops.
How will the crypto exchange and payments work?
The planned exchange and payment system will connect supported digital assets with eligible marketplace transactions. The aim is to bring exchange, payment status and commercial information closer together. Supported assets, methods and market availability will be announced before those services launch.
When can I download the app?
SokoMandi will be available on Google Play and the App Store. The apps are coming soon; a release date has not yet been announced. Official store links will appear here when the apps are ready to download.
Can I place orders or make payments today?
This website introduces the SokoMandi vision. Marketplace trading, exchange and payment services are planned for phased release. Product illustrations show the intended experience and do not process orders, digital assets or payments.
