The story

Domineum is a Nigerian/UK Blockchain-as-a-Service company founded in 2017, focused on selling distributed-ledger solutions to governments and enterprises in emerging markets — land registries, mortgage tracking, credential verification, and cargo tracking. It is not an embedded-finance platform in the fintech sense: it references payments only inside its Cargo Tracking Note workflow and references financial systems only through its integration with the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria. Financial products (bespoke back-end financial security systems, anti-fraud platforms) are listed as 'future products', signaling ambition rather than an operational stack.
