[Christopher Garrido @ChrisStableFX]

HUGE DAY!

NØBANK is officially partnering with Dinger, the leading software development firm powering banks across Southeast Asia.

Htet Arkar Kyaw, class of 2019 Forbes 30 under 30 is joining NØBANK as Chief Product Officer (CPO), alongside Dinger’s 30-person development and compliance team.

This partnership will guarantee NØBANK’s commitment to world class software & compliance in addition to speeding up development across key corridors.

We’re building faster, smarter, and with the right people behind it.

And we’re just getting started! 🚀

Neobanking is no longer a product category defined by checking accounts and debit cards.

It is becoming a battle for the user’s primary financial relationship, and stablecoin-first platforms are the newest challenger.

Day 2 of Building inside @colosseum: NØBANK (@nobankpay) the financial platform for the creator economy.

Since 2017, I processed over USD $10,000,000 in creator payouts for the adult industry in Colombia, and I found out that middlemen are straight up stealing form the creators. We are fixing this with NØBANK.

Solana Ecosystem Map 2026 for Founders {v.2}

The opportunities to build on @solana are massive, so it wasn’t possible to include everything in one post.

Here’s an update:

1. Investment communities

They can help you get funding on fair terms, often easier than pitching traditional VCs.

> Monke Ventures {@MonkeVentures}

The investment syndicate of @MonkeDAO, democratizing high-quality deal flow for everyday investors. The syndicate has funded over 40+ teams, with $2M+ in total funding.

> Superteam syndicate at the @echodotxyz

Lets people invest in crypto startups and token projects by joining private funding rounds alongside top investors.

2. Hackatons

Hackathons allow you to test your product in real conditions, receive feedback, secure early funding, and build long-term relationships.

> @colosseum: main {twice a year} and Eternal
> @solanamobile & @RadiantsDAO focused on mobile apps for Seeker
> @superteam's local hackathons

3. Grants {Non-Dilutive Funding}

> @Kalshi {$2 000 000 pool}

> @OrangeDAOxyz
> @incubator
> @alliance

> @OnePieceLabs
> @venture_launch

5. Conferences and IRL Events
