"Base is the Ethereum scaling roadmap made manifest. The team is passionate and engaged, the technology speaks for itself, and the backing of @coinbase makes this the ideal L2 for stablecoins." That's @SimonDingle, founder of @ZARP_Stablecoin, a stablecoin for the South African Rand 🇿🇦 His journey started in 2010, when he first heard about Bitcoin. To him, it was the first true distributed trust protocol for the internet, and it set the direction for his career. He brought his background in open source, media and product design to fintechs including 22seven, Luno and Curve. Then he started his own company, built around one belief: anything that can be done with money can be done better with stablecoins. Today, ZARP is an independent issuer with dozens of integrated partners, a growing ecosystem and the backing of Old Mutual, one of Africa's oldest asset managers. @ZARP_Stablecoin by the numbers: - $4.58M market cap - $5.35M in transfer volume over the last 90 days - $950K+ circulating supply on Base Local currency stablecoins are growing across Africa, and they let people and businesses send, save and get paid onchain, in the money they already use. @ZARP_Stablecoin is built on @base.

Africa’s financial future shouldn’t depend solely on systems built elsewhere. Local stablecoins can support faster payments, lower remittance costs and smoother cross-border trade, while reflecting the realities of local currencies and economies. Snapshot of @cNGN and @ZARP_Stablecoin on @base 👇🏿
