Good shipping day on Cypra (our Telegram-native USDC/USDT ramp for Nigeria).
Two things landed today:
Broadcast messaging for the bot. Admins can now send rich-text updates with images to specific users or everyone who's opted in — a proper paced delivery worker, opt-out handling, and a dashboard to compose and track sends, built so marketing traffic never competes with real settlement notifications.
Merged our Solana onramp work into main. The unglamorous but important part of the day: caught a migration conflict that would've silently broken deploys, a crash in the manual bank-verification fallback, a webhook bug that was quietly dropping notifications on settled Solana orders, and a case where an onramp order could end up with a destination address in the wrong format for its network.
None of that shipped without tests — the suite stayed green the entire way through, 770+ passing.
Some days are about new features. Today was mostly about making sure the ones we already promised actually work.

Do Hastags still work? anyways @usecypra please 🥹
Solana is now on @usecypra.
It was one of the most requested additions, and we’re already seeing the first orders come through.
We’re excited to see where you take it.
Thank you for using Cypra.
Cool Cypra commands you should know
If you’re using Cypra on Telegram, there are a few commands that make managing your banks, addresses and deposits way easier.
Starting with this one 👇
/mywallet
Your automated Cypra Deposit Address.
Send USDC or USDT on Base, Arbitrum One, or Polygon and it automatically converts it to fiat straight to your bank.
⚠️ Only these networks are watched. Deposits on any other network will NOT be detected and will sit unconverted.
Why use Cypra?
• Auto off-ramp straight to your own bank
• No new banks or wallets
• Generous transaction limits
• Telegram-native, so you can off-ramp on the go
Your wallet → Cypra → your bank.
No friction. Just money where you need it.
got 2 new users yesterday who ran some genuinely cool transactions on @usecypra it.
No hand-holding, just showed up and used the rails properly.
This is why I build. 🫡
An address that answers in naira. That's /mywallet. Set it up once, save it in your wallet and send your stablecoins to it. USDC or USDT, into one address. fiat lands in your bank automatically. No bot to open.
Your money, the moment you want it.

Renamed the thing I've been building. Back in 2025 I built an offramp on Bread. One real user, couldn't carry the cost, so i shut it down. He kept asking when I'd bring it back. So I did.
We changed our name. Sterling is now Cypra. The cowrie shell, Cypraea moneta, was the money West Africa used long before the naira. We took the name from it. Same product, same job: all inside Telegram.
Your money, the moment you want it.
