1/ We built Zeno — a decentralized lending protocol. It wasn’t for Africa specifically. It was for everyone. Open. Borderless. On-chain. But building it taught me more than any guide ever could. How to ship real code on-chain. How to handle failure.

@kirillzzy @moonpay Same experience here tried reaching out twice to ironpay and no response received too so far @KeithGrossman

.@moonpay is the worst on-ramp provider from all we’ve been trying to integrate them for 4+ months now and they just don’t respond - their support is just silent and they ignore all communication from us i don’t understand how you can make business like this

I am building Celar in public. We just enrolled in the 30-Day Ignition Race on Surge Discovery to prove our traction, ship weekly updates, and earn community support. Track our progress, test the product, and drop an Ignite on our page here: surge.xyz/discovery/celar

It’s time to enter Surge Discovery. Hundreds of startups, founders and Surge token holders joined our private-beta across the last two weeks. Today marks the public release. Anyone can build, stream and compete for fundraising. Head over to Surge.xyz to get started. Are you ready for a new era of finance?

Cross-border payments have long been plagued by high fees, slow processing times, and currency volatility. Enter stablecoins, the game-changer revolutionizing global finance. We firmly believe stablecoins, specifically local stablecoins, are the future of cross-border payments. Stablecoins, pegged to assets like fiat currencies or commodities, eliminate the wild price swings of traditional cryptocurrencies. This stability ensures senders and receivers know exactly what their money is worth, no matter the market’s mood. Local stablecoins, tied to specific national currencies (e.g., a Tanzania/ Kenya backed stablecoin), make this even more seamless by aligning with local economies. Bank fees and exchange rate markups can eat up to 7% of a cross-border payment. Stablecoins cut out the middleman, slashing costs dramatically. Local stablecoins further reduce friction by allowing users to transact in their native currency’s digital equivalent, bypassing costly forex conversions. Over 1.4 billion people globally remain unbanked, often excluded from traditional financial systems. Stablecoins, accessible via a smartphone and internet connection, democratize access to global markets. Local stablecoins resonate with users by mirroring familiar currencies, fostering trust and adoption in underserved regions. They can also integrate with regional financial systems, supporting use cases like remittances, e-commerce, or microtransactions with unparalleled efficiency. Local stablecoins bridge the gap between global finance and regional needs. E.g, Naira-pegged stablecoin @cngn_co could empower Nigerians to send remittances or boost international trade with an Indonesian local stablecoin in @idrx_co without worrying about exchange rate losses or exorbitant fees. This localized approach fosters financial inclusion and strengthens economies worldwide. From faster remittances to streamlined trade, stablecoins and local stablecoins are rewriting the rules of cross-border payments. At Neda Pay, we’re excited to embrace this future by supporting over 10+ local stablecoins, making global transactions cheaper, faster, and more inclusive for everyone.

Still early days on Expendi but we just crossed over $ 1k in transaction value 🤝. Shout out to all expendians being frugal with their spending. 🫡

9/ At celar.io, we’re building the rails for stablecoin payments in emerging markets. If you're a PSP, remittance provider, or fintech platform we’ve got the stack ready. Let’s build infrastructure that powers the next 100 million users.

8/ Ask yourself this: Do I want 1,000 users today who could churn tomorrow? Or one client who brings 100,000 users with no marketing required? Pick your lane wisely.

1/ Everyone’s rushing into B2C fintech. Launch fast. Run paid ads. Get users today. Feels smart, but is it? Let’s talk about the real game: B2B infra. 🧵

Big Thanks & 🤍 to @DePINSummit @EV3ventures for a truly Transformational experience at the Depin Summit in beautiful Zanzibar. @Web3Clubs has seen what can be achieved with true decentralization with Infra such as @threefold_io. The future is bright. #Web4 #Allforprofit

3/3 Stablecoins aren’t just hype here, they’re inevitable. If you’re building in this space or watching the trends, Africa is where the future is unfolding.

2/3 But the biggest opportunities are in Africa and the Global South, where money movement is still slow and expensive. That’s the gap we’re closing with Celar, stablecoin infra to help businesses, banks, and PSPs move value instantly.

1/3 Been in web3 since the NFT and memecoin days. The real next wave is stablecoins, moving beyond crypto hype to power real business and payments everywhere. Big banks and fintechs are getting in.

@Irecryptt @stableinfra Well said!!

@ntg_mememan @stableinfra Building solid infra like Celar is exactly what will drive stablecoin adoption forward. especially in markets that need it most

The stablecoin revolution won’t look like a flash. It’ll look like businesses quietly switching rails. At Celar, we’re not waiting to catch up. We’ve built the infra for what’s coming — and it’s already here in the Global South.
