My partner and I are currently building a beautiful, modern, premium and fully functional e-commerce website for a natural beverages business called RAMA TREATS. Business Category: Natural beverages, refreshing drinks and healthy refreshments. In Northern Nigeria, natural beverages like Zobo, Tiger Nut Milk and Tamarind Juice are part of people's everyday lives. This makes it a business with consistent demand, daily transactions and regular cash flow. Here's where @arc comes in: RAMA PAY. RAMA PAY Pay Your Way. Enjoy Every Sip. We believe the payment experience should be modern, secure, simple and visually impressive. That's why we're building RAMA Pay through Arc Studio: a payment platform that brings traditional Nigerian payment methods together with modern stablecoin payments. With RAMA Pay, customers can conveniently pay using either @USDC or Nigerian Naira (NGN). The payment options include: 🔹 USDC Stablecoin Payments Customers can connect their wallets, make direct wallet transfers by copying the payment address or conveniently scan a QR code or barcode to complete their payments. 🔹 Local Bank Payments (Nigerian Naira) Customers can also pay using traditional Nigerian payment methods, including bank transfers and card payments. The goal is to make payments seamless by giving customers the flexibility to pay however they prefer, whether with stablecoins or local currency. So far, the pieces are gradually coming together with the help of Arc Studio.

It's now confirmed that @FungoLabs will launch its token ( $FUNGO ), with an airdrop allocated to three categories: 🔸 Fungo Genesis NFT holders 🔸 @zama OG NFT holders 🔸 X Campaign participants The mint date for the Fungo Genesis NFT is yet to be announced. However, 500 people have already secured their whitelist spots while 2,500 NFTs have been allocated for public mint using $cZAMA. If you're still holding a $ZAMA OG NFT, then there's some $FUNGO coming your way. As for the X campaign, details are yet to be announced. However, contributions and engagement around Fungo Labs on X will be important, so you can start building mindshare now. More details about the airdrop will be shared soon. SEEN BY ALL. KNOWN BY ONE.

One thing I've learned from being active in this space is that every new narrative comes with a lot of attention. People rush in. Creators start talking. Projects receive massive engagement. But when the attention fades, you begin to see who was actually building and who was only chasing the moment. This happens with almost every narrative in crypto. We've seen it with NFTs, DeFi, Layer 2s and the growing attention around perpetual DEXs & InfoFi (Kaito Campaigns) The truth is, not every project will survive and not every opportunity will be worth your time. That's why I believe it's important to: 🔹 Understand what a project is actually building. 🔹 Focus on products solving real problems. 🔹 Build your knowledge instead of blindly following trends. 🔹 Create meaningful contributions that people can learn from. 🔹 Think beyond immediate rewards. The goal is to understand the space well enough to recognize where real value is being created.

Crypto is gradually moving beyond trading. The next big opportunity might be in how we move money around the world. Look at what's happening: On October 16, @circle CEO Jeremy Allaire ( @jerallaire ) told Reuters that the company plans to expand into approximately 40 emerging and developing markets. On October 14, @0xPolygon announced that it had completed its acquisition of Coinme, bringing regulated U.S. money movement into its Open Money Stack. These developments point to something important. The industry is working to make stablecoins useful beyond crypto exchanges. Think about businesses paying international contractors, freelancers receiving payments from overseas clients or companies settling cross-border transactions. Today, these processes can involve multiple intermediaries, different payment providers and unnecessary delays. Stablecoins offer another way to move value. But the real challenge is connecting those digital dollars to the financial systems people already use. That's where payment infrastructure becomes important. And that's why I'm paying close attention to what @0xPolygon is building with its Open Money Stack. The goal is to connect fiat access, wallets, stablecoins and payment rails so businesses can move money across networks and into the systems where people need it. The opportunity goes beyond crypto. It's about making money move as easily as information moves across the internet. The next wave of crypto adoption might not come from more people trading tokens. It might come from more people using stablecoins to move money in their everyday lives. We're still early in that transition. And I'm here for it. What do you think, will payments become one of crypto's biggest real-world use cases?

The countless perp DEXs popping up are just another example of how things work in the crypto space. Once a particular product starts printing money, you’ll see copycats spring up everywhere. They will all claim to be building something better but the bitter truth is that many of them are simply looking for ways to extract liquidity from the community. We’ve seen this play out across NFTs, L2s, DEXs, InfoFi and other sectors. The pattern is almost always the same. Many projects eventually shut down, some will claim they were hacked, while others will keep their communities waiting forever without ever launching a TGE. As a community member, you need to know when to stay away and when to lock in. Not every trending narrative deserves your time and not every new project deserves your liquidity. Be strategic, do your research and protect your liquidity at all costs.

The new week plans aren't over yet and you can still add one more thing to your list; moving money onchain. Remember, you can move money through @0xPolygon's Open Money Stack (OMS), which is designed to make payments faster, smoother and more accessible. With Polygon OMS, you can enjoy seamless payment experiences, fast settlement and affordable cross-border transfers without the usual friction associated with moving money across borders. Moving money shouldn't be stressful or unnecessarily expensive. Polygon is working towards making money move as easily as information does on the internet. It's time to move money onchain.

Hands off the brakes Hopefully, we see some good green candles across the crypto market this week, especially on $BTC, $ETH, $SOL and others. Wishing everyone green portfolios and profitable week. https://t.co/Dxs5o8KFLM

The anticipation around the @FungoLabs NFT collection is getting bigger, especially after the official page tweeted “Coming Soon.” If you missed the whitelist (WL) spots, don't lose hope. Make sure you're ready for the public mint. The official public mint price is yet to be announced but hopefully, we'll get more details this week. Here’s a quick breakdown of the NFT collection: 🔸 Total supply: 3,232 🔸 Free mint allocation: 500 🔸 Team allocation: 232 🔸 Public mint allocation: 2,500 One question I'm curious about is whether @zama OG NFT holders will get any special preference during the public mint. Let's wait and see what the team has planned for us. SEEN BY ALL. KNOWN BY ONE.

Update on @FungoLabs NFT The whitelist applications are now closed and the 500 free WL mint spots have been filled. However, there are still 2,500 spots reserved for the public mint. The mint price is yet to be announced but all minting will be done with cZAMA. Now, here's something interesting about the Fungo NFT collection. Every NFT minted through the Fungo Launchpad will have its traits and artwork encrypted. This means no one knows what's inside ahead of time and no one gets to choose their NFT, not even the creator. Here's how @zama's FHE technology works with these NFTs: 🔹 Encrypted NFT contents: The NFT's contents remain encrypted onchain until they are revealed. 🔹 Private bidding: Bids remain encrypted until the sale ends, so no one can see or copy another person's bid. 🔹 Holder privacy: Only the holder can view what's inside their NFT. Until they decide to reveal it, no one else can see it. This is what makes Fungo Labs interesting to me. It's bringing a different approach to NFTs by using Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) to introduce privacy into the minting and ownership experience. I'm already on the whitelist and I'm looking forward to seeing what's next for @FungoLabs. SEEN BY ALL. KNOWN BY ONE.

A dude told me crypto wasn't paying well anymore back in 2019. I wish he hadn't lied to me. Back then, I used to buy $BTC just to fund a Ponzi scheme I was farming. $BTC was around $13,000 at the time. Just imagine if I had the right information back then. Things might have turned out much better for me by now. Sometimes, the information you need to change your life is right in front of you. You just don't recognize it until it's too late.
