3 Fatal Crypto Infrastructure Mistakes Nigerian Startups Must Avoid
Most Nigerian crypto founders pour all their energy into marketing and user interfaces. But ignoring wallet infrastructure can destroy your business overnight. Here are three structural pitfalls to avoid: 1. Custodial asset trap – relying on third parties to hold user keys exposes you to hacks, outages and regulatory freezes. Build a non-custodial architecture so users control their seed phrases and your app only routes transactions. 2. “Slow bleed” gas fees – processing small withdrawals one by one eats into profit margins. Batch transactions to pay a single network fee for multiple wallet sweeps and protect your revenue. 3. DIY node stack – building and maintaining custom blockchain nodes is an endless engineering burden. Leverage proven infrastructure to save months of runway and get to market faster.
