New month. New possibilities.
The world recently crossed 2 TW of installed solar capacity.
This is proof that meaningful progress happens one installation, one innovation, and one commitment at a time.
A blessed new month, this is.
Building in Web3 is hard, but the teams focusing on real utility are quietly winning.
Catch this 1-minute snippet from our very first CeloIQ Session featuring one of the winners of the just concluded Celo Onchain Agents Hackathon @monipay_xyz , @WallstreetJade , as they break down how they are building an AI-powered Social Payment Layer on Celo, the agentic setup behind Monipay and their journey and challenges building on the Agentic economy on @Celo.

There is a lot of noise in Web3, but the real magic happens in the trenches.
Every day, developers are building mobile-first solutions, abstracting away the complexities of crypto, and quietly onboarding the next wave of everyday users. But the raw, authentic stories behind
Tracking all solar panels in Nigeria.
Why?
• To recover $100M+ asset value that would’ve been wasted
• To protect our environment
• To empower youths with new 100,000 jobs.
Are you a startup founder in the web2 and web3 space in Africa?
Hungry for growth but lack access to growth resources?
We at @deverse_labs has something for you!!!
Ask any startup founder in Africa about their biggest nightmare, and they’ll give you the exact same answer:
Distribution. 📉
You spend months engineering a brilliant, live product. It solves a real problem. But then you hit the wall. High Customer Acquisition Costs (CAC), App Store friction, and payment rail fragmentation choke your growth before you can even cross your first major milestone.
Yesterday, June 15th, 2026, we launched a structural countermeasure. The StartupBank Program 2.0 in partnership with @deverse_labs officially kicked off! 🏦✨
The response from the ecosystem proved just how deeply founders are feeling this pain:
📩 32 Startups with live products applied
🎯 21 Elite, high-signal teams were selected to join this cohort
We aren’t asking these founders to pivot their business models or build abstract toys. We are helping them supercharge what they’ve already built to become experiences that millions of users will enjoy in @minipay.
Over the next 3 weeks, these 21 startups are undergoing an intensive architectural sprint to plug their live apps directly into @Celo’s stablecoin-native rails and unlock instant distribution to millions of mobile wallets via the @minipay ecosystem.
The Grand Design & Objectives:
Mainnet-Ready MiniApps: Guiding native consumer products to successfully deploy and launch on the Celo Mainnet/MiniPay store.
The Global Distribution Hack: Supporting live apps to bypass traditional App Store gatekeepers and scale friction-free across emerging markets.
Gender-Inclusive Ecosystems: Partnering closely with Zuri Circle, TNK, and MirrorHub to intentionally accelerate and guide female-led tech startups.
The Milestone Capital Ladder: Prepping exceptional founders to clear the technical thresholds for the non-dilutive $5,000 – $25,000 MiniPay grant pool.
This is where operators bring their biggest dreams to life. Welcome to the cohort. Let's engineer real growth!

This is for operators, policy leaders, and investors, who need dependable workflows across projects and portfolios, with data-backed traceable proof that holds up.
SolNuv unifies execution so outputs are consistent, explainable, and portable.
SolNuv Al reduces start + end-of-life lifecycle equipment tracking/recovery and project review latency; structured data and roles preserve governance.
Across Nigeria and West Africa, solar is scaling faster than documentation.
When design, verification, partners, and reporting live in different places, teams not only lose speed but credibility, especially under financing, diligence, and program compliance.
