🔥 BTCfi & crypto enabled payments is accelerating! Over 4 weeks, 7 early teams worked with Sui, @WalrusProtocol & @PressStartCap to build: • AI agents that pay each other • Private payments • Zero-fee remittances • Wallets w/ bank rails • Adaptive savings 👇

The BTCfi & Payments Fellowship brought together early builders exploring new payment rails, privacy, remittances, automation, and agentic finance. Here’s the cohort and what they built 👇

@blend_money is building adaptive savings powered by agentic, quant-driven strategies. Users get automated yield - no market timing, no micromanaging. A smarter, more resilient approach to DeFi savings.

@encryptodotfun connects crypto wallets to familiar rails like IBAN, ACH, wires & cards - without giving up self-custody. Crypto spending + TradFi convenience, unified.

@surgepayxyz is fixing remittances. Instant transfers, zero fees, no multi-day waiting - built for real people sending money home.

@pivyme gives users a private way to receive payments. No exposed wallet history. No OPSEC leaks. Just a simple username or link.

@intuipay makes crowdfunding for research and education accessible - no blockchain knowledge required. Crypto-invisible UX. Real-world funding rails.

@Wap3_AI enables AI agents to transact directly, safely and verifiablyl with onchain auditability. Autonomous payments for autonomous systems.

@paysilo makes crypto payments as simple as sending a message - cross-chain, private, and frictionless. Handles complexity behind the scenes so users don’t have to.
