Reflecting on my speaking session at API Conference Day 2, where I shared insights on “Building Crypto Payment APIs in Africa.” @apiconflagos
One of the key points I highlighted is that building payment rails goes beyond just the technology.
When creating these systems, especially without relying on third-party providers, compliance and regulatory considerations must be embedded into the architecture from the beginning.
With different countries having their own regulatory frameworks - the compliance layer, including KYC/KYB, AML, risk assessment, and transaction screening, becomes a critical foundation for building secure and scalable payment infrastructure.
The future of Web3 payments will not be built by a single company. It will be shaped by founders, developers, and ecosystem builders creating products that solve real-world problems.

I’d love to hear your thoughts: what do you think is the biggest challenge founders face when building compliant Web3 payment infrastructure in Africa?

I started this month working on an MCP server that gives AI coding agents like Claude code live access to browser console, errors and network. would really appreciate feedback or bug reports.

So i currently have some rudimentary settings to filter out sensitive headers from the request, and pii like emails. this is optional via the extension.
And each tab has its own logs, even when there are multiple tabs of the same port/url open
