In my VERY humble opinion, @yosephayele, @cryptowanderer, @iamsonge and @s3unha have & are building something exquisite with @borderlessaf and @lavavc_
Got a couple reports I’m writing, ton of gems in there, tap in! 🙂↕️
In the meantime, here’s the magma summit summary 💜
This week has been all about reflection and regrounding ✨
From Magma Summit SheFi Summit to @ETHAccra → the energy has been unmatched.
So much worth, so much connection, so much to learn:
•Powerful conversations that spark new ideas 💡
•Meeting builders & dreamers shaping the future
•Lessons that remind me why we do this 🌱
•Opportunities that stretch beyond borders 🌍
•Community that feels like family
Grateful. Grounded. Growing.
Yesterday ended the Magma builders summit by @borderlessaf.
Took a pic with @yosephayele, @thinkDecade and some Professors from a University in Busan South Korea.
Had a great time, learnt so much.
Day 2/3 of the magma summit had crowd favourite sessions on the mechanics of money, ZK as research & a practical concept, and a little vibe coding to get the vibes right✨
Builders are so beautifully versatile.
It has been humbling being within this spirit of collective growth.
I had a great time yesterday @borderlessaf builder summit. Thanks to @yosephayele for curating such an amazing experience and it was beautiful to see everyone again!
Let’s keep growing the ecosystem!
Great shoutouts from @jessepollak to top payment products built on Base in Africa at the Magma Builder Summit by @borderlessaf.
It was great to hear Jesse shoutout as key products making payments seamless in Kenya, and Nigeria:
- Azza: @useazza
- Minisend: @_Minisend
- cNGN: @cngn_co
The winning fintechs of the future will definitely be SocialFi, and likely built on @base.
Super based yesterday at the @borderlessaf Magma summit, was truly incredible! From local stablecoins to breakout rooms around freedom and identity re-ownership, @jessepollak fireside chat, it was nothing short of what’s expected. Also finally got to meet the @cngn_co team IRL!
Day 1 of the Magma Builder Summit by @borderlessaf
Met @only1franchesatt at @Starknet, Lena at @Celo and a lot other amazing people from @useazza, @minipay and other amazing projects.
Suggested these topics for discussions/sense making.
One on #SaveFi, another on #PublicGoods
| @Uyoyo_O talk on @cngn_co at @borderlessaf totally sold me on African currency stablecoins.
I genuinely believe that interbank settlement, derivatives and cross border payments will drive billions of dollars of African currency stablecoin transfer + trade volume
