Key Innovations

1. 🌍 Native Multi-Currency Architecture

contract MultiCurrencyCampaignFacet {
    function createAdBriefWithToken(
        string calldata _name,
        uint256 _budget,
        address _paymentToken  // cUSD, cEUR, cNGN, cKES, eXOF, cREAL
    ) external returns (bytes32) {
        LibMultiCurrencyAdsBazaar.enforceTokenSupported(_paymentToken);
        // Campaign created in business's preferred currency
        mcs.campaignTokens[briefId] = _paymentToken;
    }
}
  • First platform supporting all 6 Mento stablecoins natively
  • No conversions needed: Pay NGN → Get cNGN → Create NGN campaigns
  • Local purchasing power: ₦100,000 campaign has local context vs $60 campaign

2. 💳 Seamless Fiat Integration

// Direct fiat-to-stablecoin via Celo CICO providers
const handleFiatPurchase = async (amount: string, currency: 'NGN' | 'KES' | 'EUR') => {
    if (currency === 'NGN') {
        // Kotani Pay: Bank transfer → cNGN minted to wallet
        return kotaniPay.purchase(amount, 'cNGN', userAddress);
    }
    if (currency === 'KES') {
        // Kotani Pay: M-Pesa → cKES minted to wallet  
        return kotaniPay.mpesa(amount, 'cKES', userAddress);
    }
    // Alchemy Pay: SEPA/Card → cEUR minted to wallet
    return alchemyPay.purchase(amount, 'cEUR', userAddress);
};
  • No crypto knowledge required: Pay with familiar methods
  • Regional optimization: M-Pesa (Kenya), Bank Transfer (Nigeria), SEPA (Europe)
  • FiatConnect integration: Single API, multiple providers

3. 🔒 Cross-Currency Smart Contract Escrow

function claimPaymentsInToken(address tokenAddress) external nonReentrant {
    uint256 totalAmount = mcs.influencerPendingByToken[msg.sender][tokenAddress];
    require(totalAmount > 0, "No pending payments in this token");
    
    // Direct payment in campaign currency - no conversions
    require(IERC20(tokenAddress).transfer(msg.sender, totalAmount), "Payment failed");
}
  • Currency-specific escrows: NGN campaigns pay in cNGN, EUR campaigns pay in cEUR
  • Guaranteed payments: Smart contracts enforce automatic release
  • Platform fee: 0.5% vs industry 15-30%

4. 🎭 Privacy-First Verification

function verifySelfProof(DiscloseCircuitProof memory proof) public override {
    // Verify identity without revealing personal data
    super.verifySelfProof(proof);
    verifiedInfluencers[userAddress] = true;
}
  • Self Protocol integration: Zero-knowledge identity verification
  • Farcaster social proof: Real social media verification
  • Anti-bot protection: Prevents fake influencer accounts

5. 📊 Real-Time Currency Intelligence

// Live Mento SDK integration for exchange rates
const getLiveExchangeRate = async (from: 'cNGN', to: 'cUSD') => {
    const mento = await Mento.create(provider);
    const rate = await mento.getAmountOut(fromToken, toToken, oneToken);
    return rate; // 1 cNGN = 0.0006 cUSD (live rate)
};
  • Live exchange rates: Powered by Mento Protocol AMM
  • Global campaign visibility: See "₦100,000 campaign = $60 USD"
  • Multi-currency dashboards: Track campaigns across all currencies
