About SACE Index
A flagship benchmark brand within the Abba Industries ecosystem.
SACE is presented within a broader digital infrastructure ecosystem spanning financial services, smart infrastructure, and digital connectivity.
SACE Index (SACE) is a Blockchain-native benchmark referencing a weighted basket of Africa's top 21 performing national currencies. With an aggregate economic value exceeding $2.3 trillion, SACE is designed to serve as a consolidated African currency benchmark in digital form.
Benchmarked directly to the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) and built on BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), SACE is inspired by global benchmarks such as the DJIA, S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, and DXY. It provides a unified, tradable instrument — enabling investors, institutions, and policymakers to track and trade Africa's collective currency strength through a single token: the SACE Index.
By consolidating the continent's leading currencies into one synthetic index, the SACE Index establishes a transparent benchmark for Africa's currency performance. It enhances market efficiency, improves liquidity, enables effective hedging against volatility, and facilitates seamless cross-border trade — positioning SACE as a cornerstone of Africa’s financial integration.
Founded by Simon Kapenda in October 2025, SACE Index is the flagship foreign exchange (FX) benchmark of SACE Index, LLC., headquartered in New York City, USA. As part of the broader Abba Industries Inc. ecosystem, SACE brings Africa's currency performance on-chain through transparent, verifiable, and tamper-resistant pricing.

Institutional Purpose
African Currency BenchmarkOne reference for a fragmented currency landscape.
SACE consolidates a defined African currency basket into a single benchmark framework, providing a consistent point of reference for monitoring, research and institutional market infrastructure.
A defined, observable reference.
A rules-based benchmark architecture identifies constituent scope, calculation structure, publication controls and supporting technical documentation.
Twenty-one African currencies.
A weighted basket consolidates selected national-currency exposures into a unified reference instead of describing African currency performance through a single jurisdiction.
A normalized dollar reference.
SACE benchmark levels are presented alongside a normalized DXY reference so relative movements can be observed within a consistent base-100 comparison framework.
Benchmark Framework
Rules-Based ArchitectureInstitutional structure, publicly explainable.
The SACE framework combines weighted currency constituents, benchmark normalization, on-chain publication and role-separated governance within a documented operating architecture.
21 African national currencies
Defined currency constituents are represented through a weighted basket totaling 10,000 basis points under the approved benchmark configuration.
Base-100 benchmark presentation
SACE and its comparative DXY reference are normalized to a common base level for consistent percentage-change and relative-performance analysis.
BNB Smart Chain architecture
Benchmark publications, governance actions and reference observations are designed for transparent verification through on-chain records.
Separated operational authority
Governance, methodology, guardian, benchmark-publication and DXY-publication responsibilities are assigned through distinct role-based controls.
Traceable benchmark methodology
Public methodology materials describe the benchmark reference, constituent construction, publication framework and supporting source code.
Disclosed testnet observations
Current public benchmark observations originate from BNB Smart Chain Testnet and use a controlled synthetic provisional DXY reference.
Market Participants
