Circle’s Developer Grant program backs founders using USDC, Arc, and the Circle Developer Platform to solve real-world financial access problems.
In the first 2026 cohort, 8 teams building on Arc are focused on challenges across Africa and the Global South, including payments, FX, remittances, merchant checkout, and stablecoin-native banking.
Here’s who they are and what they’re building.
@BlockradarHQ is the infrastructure layer many of these quietly depend on.
One API that can handle wallets, AML screening, gasless transactions, and multichain liquidity so teams don't have to rebuild those components themselves.
@kolan_xyz gives non-US individuals a real USD account backed by USDC.
Freelancers and remote workers in 50+ countries across the Global South can receive, hold, and spend dollars.
@myazahq is collapsing Africa's fragmented payment rails into one layer.
Send money quickly across 21 African currencies, pay bills, hold a virtual USD card, and access business payouts.
@ArrelTechnology built a plug-and-play USDC checkout for African merchants.
Accept any CCTP-supported stablecoin via a payment link, auto-sweep to your treasury, and offramp to local currency.
@payritHQ lets African users send and receive in their local currency while USDC handles settlement behind the scenes.
No FX spread, no T+3 delays, just near-instant cross-border payments that work the way people expect them to.
@ViFi_Labs is building the onchain FX exchange that emerging markets have been missing: a DEX designed specifically for stablecoin-to-stablecoin swaps in NGN, BRL, and COP with near-zero slippage.
@usesfxmoneyapp started with one corridor: African students in Turkey sending money home.
It's now a full USDC neobank with dollar accounts, free international transfers, and a card product, built for the African diaspora.
@flezpay tackles an important issue for the Global South. In volatile currency markets, static price tags go stale overnight.
The team developed AI-powered QR codes that update prices in real time, with USDC and fiat accepted at the same counter.
The full story of what these teams are building and what it tells us about where stablecoin adoption is actually happening is on the Arc blog: https://t.co/r0CON5jnuT
The future belongs to those who keep moving with purpose. ride is progress, challenge is a lesson, and destination is the beginning of something greater. Together, we don't just follow the road we create the path that others will one day travel
At its core, @arc is focused on enabling seamless onchain finance ,supporting digital assets such as USDC for payments, smart contracts, cross chain connectivity, and financial automation A surely product that reaches all over the world
