🔺 Team1 Africa Founders Spotlight 🔺🌍 @type_jordan , @ronexondimu , and @george__agai are the co-founders of @ExionFinance , a payments infrastructure layer enabling stablecoin spending across Africa. They have been actively building on Avalanche for the past year, focused on bridging on-chain liquidity with real-world usage. What Is Exion Finance? Exion Finance is a multichain P2P payment platform that allows users to spend stablecoins anywhere MPESA is accepted. It removes the need for off-ramping through centralized or decentralized exchanges by directly connecting crypto liquidity to mobile money rails enabling people to send money, pay bills, and transact in everyday life without friction. At its core, Exion is built on a simple belief: People don’t wake up wanting to use crypto they wake up wanting to send money, receive money, and live their lives. Product & Mechanism Exion operates as a peer-to-peer liquidity layer: Users initiate payments in stablecoins Local liquidity providers fulfill transactions in fiat via MPESA Settlement happens on-chain while execution happens instantly in the real world Users can: On-ramp via crypto wallets or directly from MPESA Off-ramp to mobile payments (pay bills, buy goods, send money) Transfer to wallets or phone numbers View balances across multiple networks in one place This model eliminates delays, reduces friction, and enables stablecoins to function as a practical medium of exchange, not just a store of value. Traction & Proof $1M+ in transaction volume 4,000+ active users Daily transaction activity across markets Operating in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania 1+ year of continuous product iteration Winners in multiple hackathons including Impact Plus Ecosystem Contribution The Exion team has been actively involved in the Avalanche ecosystem through: Participation and wins in builder hackathons Supporting real-world adoption through payments infrastructure Enabling stablecoin usage in everyday transactions Builder Narrative The team is building from lived market experience, focusing on real payment friction rather than abstract crypto use cases. Their perspectives reflect how Exion is designed: Jordan (User Reality): “People don’t wake up wanting to use crypto, they wake up wanting to send money and live their lives.” Ronex (Product Philosophy): “Crypto should feel like money in everyday life, not complex infrastructure.” George (UX Execution): “Crypto payments today still feel too technical. We’re building Exion to make stablecoins as easy to use as mobile money.” Closing Exion Finance is building real payment infrastructure for emerging markets, turning stablecoins into usable currency for daily transactions. That is what we want to see and what building on Avalanche in Africa looks like.

Larry Madowo’s relationship with Edith Kimani is likely to last a very long time because they both live in separate houses. They only meet when he wants to supply her with high voltage electricity. Even our grandparents used to live in different houses, and that’s why they stayed together till death did them part. These days, partnerships seem to work best when everyone has their own space especially when kids are not yet involved. Gentlemen, this might just be the secret formula to peace, long life, and low blood pressure. No arguments over wet towels on the bed, no interrogations about why you came home at 11 p.m, and no being sent to buy onions in the middle of a football match. Love her deeply, spoil her properly, but let everyone sleep in their own kingdom. Sometimes distance doesn’t kill romance, it keeps the batteries fully charged. Stay guided son.

Size does matter

@C_NyaKundiH To Kasongo and his AFFORDABLE BLOGGERS...

President Ruto should stop dismissing Kenyans with polished GDP figures, fake growth numbers and fake hustler narratives. Almost every Kenyan has a story of a relative, friend, or neighbour who was stable two or three years ago but is now struggling to survive. He should leave the podium, go to the ground, and see the real economy....shops closing because rent cannot be paid, businesses dying because customers have no buying power, families skipping basics, and young people losing hope. Go to CBD for instance and see empty shops and stalls. This tough-headed dismissiveness is exactly what pushed the country into the deadly Finance Bill crisis. Kenyans pleaded, warned, protested, and still the government behaved like citizens were the problem. By the time the climbdown came, families were mourning. The fact that Oscar Sudi and the people around him are doing well does not mean the economy is okay. Their wealth is not Kenya’s economy. The real economy is in the kiosks, salons, workshops, farms, markets, rental houses, and homes where people are quietly breaking. Ruto must stop lecturing hungry people about growth. A country is not doing well because those around power are eating. A country is doing well when ordinary people can breathe.

Nobody even comes close to this level of work ethic. Nobody.
