Beyond excited 🇸🇬⚡ @SuperteamSG
Huge congratulations to @Clustlydotai, @KurtosisLabs, @Adher_ai and every single team that participated.
What makes this even more special is that the Colosseum hackathon genuinely changed our trajectory.
It pushed us to move faster, sharpen the product, and launch our beta months earlier than we otherwise would have. Without this momentum, it could easily have taken another 3–4 months.
This is just the beginning for us.
Grateful for the support. Back to building ⚡🇺🇸💸🇮🇳
Big shift ahead for Indians in the US 🇺🇸→🇮🇳
The proposed remittance tax cut from 5% to 3.5% could mean billions saved in transfer costs over time.
More money reaching families, faster movement of capital.
Bigger opportunity for fintech innovation in the India US corridor.

I grew up watching my family lose money every time someone sent it home. So I built what we needed.
WhatsApp's first remittance. US → India. Instant. Free. Google rates.
Here is how we change lives 👇
UPI made payments instant inside India.
Pix did it for Brazil.
SEPA Instant did it for Europe.
Now stablecoins are becoming the bridge between all of them.
Cross-border payments are finally moving from:
❌ SWIFT-era delays
to
⚡ real-time global settlement
The rails are changing faster than most banks realize.
Instant transfers, zero fees, WhatsApp simplicity, SurgePay’s remittance infra is the shaping up smoothly with closed beta going very successfully
Solana-speed rails for $ to India, minus the bureaucracy.
@colosseum Frontier builders, let’s level up cross-border finance.
The future of remittance is not cheaper apps.
It’s invisible infrastructure.
Users don’t wake up wanting “stablecoin-powered settlement.”
They want their mom in India to receive money instantly, at a fair rate, without stress.
