As Nigeria ushers in a new era of data-driven tax reforms, the days of “fingers-crossed” bookkeeping are officially over. Enter Tradepal AI, a cutting-edge platform utilizing artificial intelligence to bridge the gap between high-speed digital trading and the rigid requirements of national tax compliance.
Bridging the Web3 Compliance Gap The platform, co-founded by industry veterans Femi Adegolu and Ambassador Adebiyi Ayoyinka, arrives as a direct response to the anxiety surrounding Nigeria’s latest tax laws. For many in the informal sector, SMEs, and the burgeoning crypto market, the new reforms felt like a looming threat. Tradepal AI flips that narrative, offering a “plug-and-play” sanctuary where businesses can automate their reporting instead of fearing government audits.
A Virtual Auditor in Your Pocket Tradepal AI isn’t just a spreadsheet; it’s a sophisticated ecosystem designed for total transparency. Key features include:
-
Real-Time Turnover Tracking: Monitors tax exposure and deductions as they happen.
-
The “Audit Tray”: A feature allowing users to generate professional, print-ready records for tax officers at a moment’s notice.
-
Remote Auditor Access: A unique security feature that lets professional auditors review dashboards remotely while the business owner maintains full control.
-
Regulatory Shortcut: The tool is designed to help firms gain recognition from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by establishing a foundation of institutional-grade compliance.
Fueling the Expansion The market has already taken notice. On New Year’s Day 2026, the company announced a successful $50,000 pre-seed funding round. According to CEO Deborah Ojengbede, this capital injection is more than just a financial milestone—it’s a validation of the necessity for transparency in the digital asset space.
The Bottom Line As enforcement becomes more automated, Tradepal AI provides the “compliance insurance” needed to thrive. By turning complex tax codes into a simple, automated dashboard, the platform is ensuring that Nigerian traders and SMEs can focus on growth without the constant shadow of regulatory penalties. It’s no longer just about trading; it’s about trading with the confidence of being “government-ready.”
