Partnerships That Mattered

We started the month with a partnership with OmrixDotFun; a no-code platform enabling creators to build, automate, and deploy AI agents on Twitter, Discord, and Telegram. This collaboration unlocked new ways for builders to scale and automate digital interactions.

Builder Highlights

Jaja Playtest 2.0 went live, inviting the Web3 gaming community to test early versions and share feedback.

With FiatRouter, ₦aira users now have access to all tokens and stocks on Solana, removing friction for financial access in Nigeria.

Codigo x SuperteamNG launched a 1-week build sprint. Builders are to use React, AI, or both to ship frontend projects, and winners will earn $100 and other incentives in prizes.

Writing, Research & Podcast Gems

SuperteamNG Writers took on a research writing challenge sponsored by NectarFi, diving deep into Stablecoins.

To support SuperteamNG's research for Writers, Marvin Sunday launched the Super Founders series, giving writers direct insights from founders of VerxioProtocol, Airbillspay, Paj Cash, and NectarFi.

Tiphanny’s podcast (Episode 3) went live with Oxpsolitesol, the founder of Airbillspay, sharing how he secured an $8K grant and acquired over 500 users.
