Taking FossaPay into the arena once again, our third attempt so far. Last time, we made it to the interview stage. Then, we were barely a month into launch and had processed around $15k. A few months later, we’ve crossed $180k in volume, onboarded more businesses, and shipped quite a lot since then. No idea how far we go this time, but I’m looking forward to finding out. For now, here’s our product demo 👇

Since CZ told Elon that if he didn't behave, he'd sell off $1bn worth of SpaceX stock, Elon hasn't tweeted a single laugh emoji about the Binance hack. Like Robert Greene said, "When you meet a swordsman, draw your sword. Do not recite poetry to one who is not a poet".

It’s always refreshing to hear @Nonso_Obiefule speak about stablecoins. One key takeaway from his thoughts is that we haven’t really solved payments yet. There’s still so much untapped potential, so many problems to solve, and a whole lot more to build.

Introducing @useAider ⚡ I built Aider, a USDC wallet for AI agents, using Arc Studio. Each agent gets its own key with limits. Small payments: instant. Big ones: wait for you. One click cuts it off. Powered by @arc

Hosted a Solana Across Campuses activation at the University of Uyo, powered by @college_xyz We spent the session introducing students to Solana, how the network works, some of the products already being built on it, and how they can go from simply using Solana to actually building on it. We also talked about opportunities for students through hackathons, bounties, grants, and developer programs. Always good to see more students getting their first proper introduction to Solana

I really hope they’ve figured out how to handle fingerprints and smudges properly.
Hands on with the touch MacBook Pro! Full multi-touch supported, no Apple Pencil though.

We brought Touch to the Mac! From the all-new iPad mini to the 14-inch MacBook Pro and iMac... and now MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch, creators have new tools to do their best work yet.

It’s only when major events like moonshot are hosted that I actually miss living in Lagos.

If you find it difficult to read consistently, or you simply don’t have the time, try podcasts or audiobooks. Listen while driving, working out, cooking, walking, or doing something that doesn’t need your full attention. Always make time to learn.

Manually copying account numbers to pay fifty people feels like emptying a swimming pool with a teaspoon. The repetition drains energy and invites mistakes. @fossapay fixes this friction with their Bulk Transfers feature. Instead of sending funds one by one, you simply upload a CSV file with all staff payment details into the dashboard. Select a source wallet, confirm with a quick PIN, and the batch processes instantly. The platform handles multi currency balances flawlessly, letting you manage Naira alongside @solana , USDC, and USDT in one unified place. Developers can also plug this engine straight into internal payroll apps using the API. This is proper infrastructure connecting African neobanks to global liquidity without administrative stress. Solid project, Fr. 💗

It just wouldn’t make sense to me why, as an early-stage founder without substantial funding, you’d be targeting 3 to 5 markets from the start. You don’t even fully understand how those markets operate yet, so why stretch yourself that thin? Except it’s a SaaS, get a good share of your local market first before expanding.

You’ll always be tempted to build first and find customers later. But in the famous words of @NzubeEzudo, “you will f*ck around and find out.” Talk to your potential customers early. It will save you from spending months building something nobody actually wants.
While building your product, write down your first 20 potential customers, where you can reach them and why they would care. Start those conversations early enough so their answers can influence what you launch.
