Orion
Less than 1% of Kenyans invest in stocks due to high fees and slow settlement . We're fixing this by tokenizing NSE shares on Avalan - enabling instant, affordable mobile trading for everyone.

Description
We're building a platform that lets anyone in Kenya buy and sell stocks as easily as sending money via Mpesa. By tokenizing NSE-listed companies on Avalanche , we're removing all the traditional barriers to stock market access. Users can now buy tokenized stocks on our platform and pay via Mpesa. They can also sell the stock back and cashout via Mpesa or Avax.
In a nutshell, a process that used to take days can now be completed within minutes.
What We're Creating:
Instantly buy tokenized versions of NSE stocks
Trade shares peer-to-peer 24/7
Withdraw profits directly to mobile money
A liquidity system called Orion that ensures:
Fair pricing tied to real market values
Always-available buying/selling options
Automatic conversion between tokens and real shares
How It Works Technically:
Each NSE stock gets its own ERC20 token.
Our system maintains 1:1 backing with actual shares
Users trade these tokens freely in their wallets
Orion handles large orders and ensures liquidity
