Oasis Onchain 2026 was an experiment in building for the hyperlocal: smaller, more intimate, more flexible.

It was a full day of diving into AI agents, onchain payments, and the convergence of energy production and food security.

So grateful to our sponsors like @StellarOrg!

[Oasis Onchain 🏝️ @oasisonchain]

For those curious about our next steps, Oasis Onchain is evolving.

We'll be productizing our operations under The Oasis Group.

The Oasis Group will consist of Oasis Onchain and Oasis Labs, a frontier tech consulting agency and venture studio.

[Oasis Frontier Founders @oasisfounders]

Welcome to Oasis Frontier Founders! This is the new home for frontier tech builders in and for the Global South.

We're part of the @oasisonchain ecosystem and hosted by @stefdelev. Podcast episodes coming soon!

[ViFi Labs @ViFi_Labs]

Africa & LATAM are using crypto in a way that's massive, useful and impactful. Institutional stablecoin adoption in these regions has reached $540 billion annually, with over 60% representing institutional volume.

“The OneRamp acquisition will help provide distribution and access to the ViFi protocol at launch. We believe that stablecoins and FX trading venues that are fully on-chain will be the future.” @TonyOlendo

@ViFi_Labs @0xOneramp Massive, congrats team!

[EsteFi | LATAM/ACC @NFTMami]

I came because I have friends in the region, and because I’ve been championing LATAM since day one.

Since arriving, I was introduced to @hoopssagrado, a nonprofit that’s been returning to Guatemala year after year, using basketball to build bridges between local communities and youth from DC.

[EsteFi | LATAM/ACC @NFTMami]

A few weeks ago, @LindsayPoss invited me to Guatemala. I thought I was just coming to visit a friend.

What I witnessed instead was a ripple effect of impact.

S/O to @StellarOrg for putting their money where their mouth is, moving hearts and shifting futures across communities that rarely get seen.

The interview touches on sports and crypto. But what’s happening here… it’s so much more than that. Let me show you 🧵

[Oasis Onchain 🏝️ @oasisonchain]

I just activated my creator coin on @Zora

[Stefen @stefdelev]

The point of @oasisonchain is to shine a light on the solutions that crypto/tech can provide to the regions that really need it, and to bring builders together to collaborate on the solutions for those regions

Oasis 2026 announcements coming very soon

[Web3 Afrika | web3afrika.eth @web3afrika]

4. We brought the vibes IRL.
We’ve hosted 3 major Lagos events:

— Build Afrika with @morphnetwork
— Arbitrum Builders Meetup with @OasisOnChain
— Scroll Lagos Meetup with @Scroll_ZKP

Panels. Conversations. Momentum.

More coming.🚀🚀

[Eco @eco]

Crypto doesn’t scale until the experience is grandma-proof.

@strao_ from @eco_incorp joined You Can Just Build Things on @unichain to talk stablecoin abstraction, cross-chain UX, and why one-click is the only future that matters.

Hosted by @saintniko & @chaserchapman — watch now ↓

@AsafNadler And this is exactly why we do what we do 🏝️

[Asaf Nadler @AsafNadler]

You raised a $7M seed from Silicon Valley VCs.

You hired a KOL agency in Dubai.

But your users, they’re in Lagos, Manila, São Paulo, Accra, and Jakarta. 

Still think you know your market or should I let you in on a secret that’s gonna determine your success?

If you’re a crypto founder…this will be the most important data you’ll see all year.

We just analyzed wallet activity of 15M users across @MetaMask , @phantom , @bitgetglobal , Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow, OKX, and more, layered with geolocation data from @addressableid (link in comments).

And what we found was a hard truth, this will shake your belief;

• The money is in the West.

• But most users are everywhere else.

The USA and Western Europe dominate transaction value.

But Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America dominate wallet volume.

This means, If your product runs on a fee model, you want capital density.

But if you need users, you’re probably building for the wrong continent.

Let’s make this real, I feel like you aren’t feeling the gravity yet:

Imagine a founder in Berlin.

They raise $4M and build an app on Arbitrum. 

Target New York, and on launch day?

Their top users come from the Philippines. Nigeria. Brazil. Indonesia. 

They’re on cheap Android phones.

They’re skipping your 50MB wallet SDK because it won’t load. They bounced and moved on. 

Not because your product sucks, but because your assumptions do.

This isn’t a glitch, it’s a mirror.

The crypto revolution isn’t coming from where you pitch, it’s coming from where you’ve never looked.

And that’s a wake-up call:

Are you building for reach, or are you building for revenue?

Because the market that funds your runway
is not the same market that feeds your retention.

You can raise in Manhattan…but if you ignore Manila, you’ll stall.

You can plan for a TGE in Paris…but if you don’t localize for Lagos, you’ll bleed churn.

Here’s the paradox:

Most crypto products are funded by the West…but scaled by the rest.

If you don’t know that, you’re not in the game. You’re in the dark.

So ask yourself:

Who are you building for?

The VCs on your pitch deck, or the wallets that are actually active?

Because in crypto, users don’t follow your roadmap.

Your roadmap should follow your users.
