New week,new door Oink started with one mission: help Nigerians beat naira inflation by saving in dollars, with just an email Then we gave those savings a way to grow Now the third door is almost here: Borrow Need naira today? Borrow against your dollar savings instead of selling

In the first half of 2026, USDC settled more than $36 trillion in onchain transaction volume. Read more below. circle.com/blog/the-economic…

𝐔𝐲𝐨, 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐩. I've been to two @arc events in Uyo now. Both times I left with more than I came with, better questions, sharper thinking, and people I'll be building alongside for years. That's the part nobody tells you about. You walk in expecting to learn about a blockchain and you walk out having met your people. So if an Arc event happens anywhere near you, go. Genuinely. You don't have to be deep in crypto. You just have to be curious about where money and software are heading. Now, what we actually talked about. Saturday's panel was on the agentic economy. Most conversations about AI agents and money stay abstract. Agents will pay each other. Machines will transact. It sounds like something happening somewhere else, to someone else. I kept coming back to a simpler question while we talked: who does this actually help first? My answer is the same one I've had since I started building. It helps people whose money is losing value while they sleep. Here's what I mean. If you live somewhere with a stable currency, an agent managing your money saves you time. Useful, but not urgent. If you live here, where what you saved in January buys less in December, it's not about convenience. You're not trying to be efficient. You're trying to stop losing. That's why I build @oink_AI. You send a message. It holds your savings in dollars on Arc, locked until a date you choose. No seed phrase. No exchange. No new vocabulary to learn. The agent part isn't decoration. It's the only reason someone who has never touched crypto can use it at all. The honest part. We're not finished. Email sign-up works but isn't live yet. And there's still no clean way to take money back out into naira, because no naira stablecoin exists. Circle has one for South Africa. One for Brazil. One for Mexico. Nothing for us. That's the gap I want closed more than anything else on my roadmap, and it isn't something I can code my way around. What I took from the room. The technology is further along than the access. Arc launched with everything working. Agents can hold money, set limits, pay each other, settle in under a second. That part is done. What's missing is the door. Getting ordinary people in, and getting their money back out in the currency they actually spend. That's the work. Not more infrastructure. Just the last mile. Thank you @TechyDom, @JerryOjumah and @bobbilee for putting it together, and to everyone who showed up and asked questions. Still building. 💙💙

𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗨𝘆𝗼 𝗜𝗥𝗟 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝟮𝟵𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁. Some of the sharpest thinking about Arc I've heard all year happened in Uyo last week. You can build on Arc from anywhere, but you understand Arc when you're in a room of people who need what it's building. Uyo was that room. A crowd of Nigerian builders, all connecting the same dots, that stablecoin-native infrastructure isn't just a technical choice, it's the foundation of a financial system built for the people the current one has left behind. @TechyDom put the event together with the kind of care that makes builders feel invited into a real ecosystem, not marketed at. Every session was crafted, every conversation intentional. @N1Fredy walked us through the real craft, how to think about branding for a Web3 product, how to actually deploy on Arc, and how those two pieces fit together. He reframed Arc for me too: not as another chain, but as where the world's stablecoin economy will settle. Getting to present @oink_AI in that room, alongside builders and speakers I've been reading online for months, was a moment I won't forget. Shout out to @bobbilee, @samconnerone , @JerryOjumah and everyone from the @Arc team who who made this possible. For OinkAI, what's next is bigger than the demo I gave. Circle Wallets, StableFX, and full agentic economy integration are all in motion, everything OinkAI ships from here compounds on what's already live: ERC-8004 registered agent, non-custodial contract, verified on-chain. The green pig is just getting started. And so is Arc. More soon.
