How Crypto-to-Naira Conversion Works with Sogo
You do not need to understand blockchain mechanics to sell crypto on Sogo. Here is the full picture in plain terms.
Your account has a permanent deposit address
Once your KYC is complete, Sogo assigns a permanent deposit address for each supported cryptocurrency and network to your account. This address stays the same across all your trades. You can send crypto to it at any time, any day, without needing to create a new order first.
You send crypto to that address
Transfer your cryptocurrency from your external wallet or exchange to the Sogo deposit address shown on screen. Always double-check the address before sending. Cross-network sends (e.g. sending ERC-20 to a BEP-20 address) cannot be recovered.
Blockchain confirms the deposit
Once your transaction is broadcast to the network, Sogo waits for the required number of blockchain confirmations. This is a built-in safety step that prevents fraud and ensures the funds are genuine. Confirmation time depends on the coin and network congestion.
Naira is sent to your bank
After confirmation, Sogo converts your crypto to Naira at the rate locked in at the time of your trade and sends it directly to your registered Nigerian bank account. You receive a notification immediately.
Your Permanent Crypto Deposit Address
Sogo assigns each cryptocurrency and network a single, permanent deposit address to your account. For example, your USDT (TRC-20) address is always the same. You can reuse it across multiple sells without creating a new order each time.
When you send crypto to your Sogo address, our system automatically detects the deposit, waits for the required blockchain confirmations, converts it to Naira at the current rate, and triggers the bank payout. You do not need to manually notify us of a transfer.
Always retrieve your deposit address directly from your Sogo account. Ensure you select the correct network for the coin you are sending, as the address for USDT on Tron (TRC-20) differs from the address for USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20).
What about USDT and stablecoins?
USDT (Tether) is a stablecoin pegged to the US Dollar. 1 USDT is always worth approximately $1, regardless of what Bitcoin or Ethereum are doing. This makes USDT one of the most popular coins to sell because the value is predictable. The Naira equivalent depends on the USD/NGN rate at the time of your trade. Sogo also accepts USDC (USD Coin), another leading dollar-backed stablecoin.

Understanding Crypto-to-Naira Rates
Crypto rates are driven by global demand, the US Dollar exchange rate against the Naira, and local market supply. Bitcoin and Ethereum prices fluctuate constantly, so the Naira value you receive for the same amount of BTC can differ hour by hour.
Stablecoins like USDT and USDC are different. Since they track the US Dollar at a 1:1 ratio, the Naira you receive reflects the USD/NGN rate at the time of your trade, making them more predictable for those who want to avoid crypto volatility.
Sogo locks in the rate when you confirm your trade. The exact Naira amount is shown before you proceed, and that is exactly what you receive, with no hidden deductions.

Prices change continuously. The rate shown when you initiate a trade is the live market rate. Confirm quickly to lock it in.
Stablecoins (USDT, USDC)
1 USDT is always worth roughly $1. The Naira equivalent tracks the USD/NGN rate. More predictable and popular with freelancers and remote workers.

Essential Tips for Selling Crypto on Sogo
Follow these guidelines to protect yourself and ensure every trade completes successfully.
Always send to the correct network
USDT exists on multiple networks (TRC-20, ERC-20, BEP-20). Each network has a different deposit address in your Sogo account. Always match the address and network shown in your account to the one you are sending from. Cross-network sends may be permanently lost.
Complete KYC before trading
Crypto sell is a Tier 2 feature on Sogo. Complete your identity verification once and all future trades process without additional checks. This protects you and ensures fast payouts.
Save your transaction hash
After sending crypto, copy and save the transaction hash (TXID) from your wallet or exchange. If you ever need to raise a query, this hash is the proof of your transfer.
Double-check the amount before sending
Verify the amount in your external wallet before confirming the transfer. Crypto transactions on the blockchain are irreversible. Once sent to your deposit address, the conversion is processed automatically at the prevailing rate.
Check blockchain confirmation requirements
Each coin has a minimum confirmation requirement before Sogo can release your payment. Do not be alarmed if your trade shows as pending immediately after sending; this is normal.
Add your bank account first
Ensure your Nigerian bank account is added and verified in your Sogo profile before initiating a crypto sell. This prevents any delay between trade confirmation and your payout.
