Crypto Adoption Series — Week 4 🎙️ We’re back for Week 4. This time, we’re focusing on products built during the hackathon, what was created, what works, and what still needs improvement. With our Cohosts & speakers @itscryptororo & @oghenekparobor_ If you built something, this is your moment to share it. If you didn’t, come see what’s being shipped. Friday 2 PM UTC / 3 PM Nigeria time Live on X Spaces Join the conversation.

Building the future of programmable money takes real builders shipping real systems. We’re excited to announce the first cohort of 2026 Circle Developer Grant recipients: @AgriDexPlatform @BeeezoHive @BlockradarHQ @BuFi_Global @CashmereLabs @ArrelTechnology (DAPL - Digital Asset Platform) @dzap_io @flezpay @gcrx_io @HurupayApp @myazahq @OpenVPP @payritHQ @rebelfi_io @usesfxmoneyapp @thurmanlabs @TidesHQ @trumarket_tech This group stood out for technical depth, execution velocity, and clear paths to production across: → AI financial agents → Payments & treasury → Capital markets & FX → DeFi & liquidity → Real-world assets Many are already integrating Wallets, Gateway, and CCTP, with early Arc experimentation underway. We’re proud to back teams that are already demonstrating real-world utility on stablecoin infrastructure. Beyond funding, we’ll work closely with these founders as they build—offering resources, guidance, and hands-on support as they integrate Circle products like Wallets, Gateway, and CCTP (with Arc on their roadmap).

Shoutout to the winners of the App That Works Offline track at the Vibecoding Hackathon, powered by @sol_pollinet We challenged builders to create apps that keep working without internet using our BLE mesh SDK. They delivered. Winners: 🥇 1st Place ($300) @bachotsikubadz3 — Shieldmesh 🥈 2nd Place ($200) @AstromanGe1464 — STELLAR 🏅 Honourable Mention @ggakhobadze — HotspotBazaar Every submission proved what we've always believed: Give builders offline-first infrastructure, and they'll build things nobody imagined. Big love to @CyreneAI and @SuperteamGEO for making this happen. The mesh keeps growing.
