Hackathon Expo
summary
A collection of hackathon projects demonstrates concrete builds: a cross‑border flow that takes Wave CFA in Senegal, calls an LN URL to Tando and delivers Kenyan shillings live in Senegal, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Kenya; a USSD agent layer that lets featured‑phone agents register and swap without internet (screenshots shown, network flaky in demo); reputation via paid reviews to deter fraud; reported user fees around 20 SS per tx and backend savings of 0.5–0.8% versus incumbents, while liquidity and channel management remain operational constraints.
