Free in the sense of 0% transaction fees, yes. The app itself is free to download and use. Network fees on the underlying blockchain still apply (those go to miners, not Monica).
Yes. Withdraw from NairaEX to your Monica deposit address (same network on both ends), and the conversion runs automatically once the deposit confirms.
Monica is a one-way off-ramp and does not custody user crypto. Monica's treasury, KYC data handling and operating standards are NDPA-aligned and SEC VASP-framework aligned. NairaEX publishes its own security practices — compare both before moving size.
Monica.cash supports 7 coins (BTC, ETH, SOL, TRX, BNB, USDT, USDC). NairaEX focuses on BTC, ETH and USDT. Compare both lists for your specific assets.
