Linq is a stablecoin payments app that lets users spend USDC and other stablecoins like cash directly from their crypto wallet, with real-time settlement to Nigerian bank accounts. Its B2B merchant gateway enables businesses to accept crypto payments via QR code — settling instantly in NGN — across Stellar, Sui, Solana, Base, BSC, and Aptos, requiring no crypto knowledge from merchants.

Fewticket is a digital ticketing and access control platform designed to modernize event management across Africa and emerging markets. It enables organizers to issue digital tickets, verify attendance in real time using QR validation and WebSocket infrastructure, and monitor event performance through secure dashboards and APIs. Fewticket addresses ticket fraud, inefficient check-ins, limited payment integration, and lack of scalable monetization tools for hybrid events.

Bloccpay is a global payroll and payments platform that enables businesses to pay remote contractors worldwide—with a focus on Africa—in USDC on Stellar. It offers automated batch payroll via the Stellar Disbursement Platform (SDP), contractor invoicing payable through Stellar Wallets Kit, and local fiat off-ramp to bank accounts and mobile money in Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana.

VANK is a multicurrency B2B payments platform for US-LatAm cross-border trade, processing over $115M in TPV across 40 enterprise clients. The company is building VANK Anchor: a Stellar-native USDC-COP on/off ramp for Colombia enabling COP deposits via PSE and USDC delivery to partner Stellar accounts (on-ramp), and USDC-to-COP disbursements via ACH/bank transfer with OFAC/PEP compliance screening (off-ramp), implemented via SEP-24, SEP-6, SEP-38, SEP-10, and SEP-1.

The Stellar Disbursement Platform (SDP) is the Stellar Development Foundation's open-source, self-hostable platform for making bulk payments to many recipients over the Stellar network. Used for mass payouts, global payroll, vendor and contractor payments, government transfers, remittances, and cash-assistance disbursements; powers Stellar Aid Assist.

Zarf is a non-custodial, privacy-preserving token distribution protocol on Stellar. It enables users to send payments and create vesting schedules to an email address instead of a wallet address, using Zero-Knowledge proofs for private, verifiable claims. Use cases include token distributions, payroll, and vesting on Soroban.

Velo is a Web3 financial protocol built on the Stellar network that bridges traditional finance and decentralized infrastructure. It operates the Federated Credit Exchange (FCX) for digital credit issuance, issues the USDV stablecoin backed by tokenized U.S. Treasury Bills, and enables cross-border payments, remittances, and merchant crypto acceptance through its Orbit platform.

The Signal is an open-source protocol that transforms Web3 business development into a permissionless, on-chain marketplace. Today, service discovery and deal execution in Web3 are opaque and fragmented. Founders face trust and payment risks, service providers struggle to scale distribution, and business developers operate in informal networks with no enforceable compensation. The Signal solves this coordination gap through verified discovery (ranking providers by execution performance), ServiceFi escrow (releasing funds only upon verified milestone completion), and permissionless distribution (enabling on-chain commission bounties with code-enforced revenue splits). The result is transparent, trust-minimized hiring and scalable growth for Web3 services, without centralized intermediaries.

Tender empowers modern businesses to accept crypto payments effortlessly without needing to become crypto experts. Whether a physical store, digital platform, or global marketplace, Tender abstracts blockchain complexity and delivers a seamless payment experience. The platform enables businesses to accept crypto without managing wallets or technical infrastructure, provides seamless settlement and compliant off-ramps into local currency, supports global payouts and mass disbursement, and unifies multi-chain payments into one simple dashboard and API.

SurgePay is a comprehensive fintech platform enabling seamless cross-border payments and financial services for users across Africa. Built on the Stellar blockchain, it provides instant, low-cost international transfers, multi-currency digital wallets, virtual dollar cards, and tag-based payments.

Stablecoin-linked Visa card provider. Enables companies on Stellar, Solana, and Tron to launch branded cards for real-world stablecoin spending.

Paywit is a wallet-agnostic payment layer enabling merchants to accept stablecoin payments on Stellar without integrating individual wallets or managing blockchain complexity. It provides hosted checkout and drop-in SDKs that abstract wallet complexity — merchants integrate once, users pay from any Stellar wallet via SEP-7, and funds settle directly to merchant wallets (fully non-custodial). Paywit verifies payments via Horizon and notifies merchants instantly.

BRLP is a regulated BRL settlement token issued on Stellar for institutional FX, institutional payments, and crypto-to-fiat reconciliation. Tokens are minted only after BRL is received in a regulated account, transferred exclusively between authorized institutional counterparts, and burned on exit — on-chain supply always matches real-world custody. PagFinance replaces bilateral reconciliation and delayed settlement with near-instant finality, deterministic auditability, and compliance-by-design, connecting Brazilian banking rails to modern on-chain coordination using Stellar's native asset controls.

Novatti is an Australian payments company (ASX: NOV) that delivers payment solutions enabling businesses to accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay, Alipay, WeChat Pay and more.

Drips is an open-source funding protocol offering continuous payment streams, dependency funding, Drip Lists, and RetroPGF distribution for software projects. On Stellar, Drips powers Drips Wave — a recurring monthly bounty cycle where developers compete to contribute to open-source Stellar ecosystem projects and earn on-chain rewards, while maintainers run transparent, time-bound funding rounds.

Digitpay simplifies how individuals and businesses send, spend, receive, and manage money across borders. Built on Stellar, it enables users to receive crypto instantly into dedicated wallet addresses and spend it in their preferred local currency (including Nigerian Naira), with automatic and transparent currency settlement on the backend. The platform also enables merchants to accept cryptocurrency payments while receiving funds in their chosen fiat currency.

DashX is a technology platform that helps exporters and global contractors receive and manage cross-border payments smoothly. It provides APIs and workflow tools that connect businesses with licensed financial partners to move money across countries in a fast, structured, and compliant way.

Cypher is a crypto card and non-custodial wallet that lets users spend their crypto like cash anywhere in the world, with zero-fee USDC loading, global acceptance, and rewards on every transaction.

We believe every community leader and company will become a fintech, every transaction will be a financial product, and that real financial inclusion requires localized, customized, impactful solutions built bottoms-up and self-propelled in monetization. CryptoMate is the platform that makes this possible: a stack on which emerging fintechs, community leaders, entrepreneurs, and SMEs launch, run, and monetize their own financial services. This grant funds a focused new service any of those clients can offer their users on day one: a person walks into any MoneyGram, deposits cash, and within minutes a virtual VISA card is push-provisioned into their Apple Pay or Google Wallet. Underneath, the cash settles as USDC on Stellar via MoneyGram Ramps. The user never sees a wallet address, never holds a stablecoin, never learns what a blockchain is. They just get a card. The target: the 1.4 billion unbanked adults globally — and the cash-economy users in LATAM and African corridors where MoneyGram has dense coverage and CryptoMate's clients already operate.
