Our episode today features Maya, Chief Operating Officer of Nestcoin. Maya built one of the first non-cusotidal on/offramping P2P protocols for Africa and is an advocate for localisation & web3 especially for emerging markets. She has delivered workshops and spoken on this topic for the likes of Developer DAO and FinTech Insider by 11:FS. Maya is very active in helping (web3) African startups obtain foreign investment, having done so for the likes of Nestcoin and Afropolitan DAO.
This episode explores Nestcoin ecosystem and how their new on/offramp protocol is providing a solid onramp/offramp infrastructure for emerging markets. Onboard helps users effortlessly move move crypto(currently stables) from their wallets(metamask, trustwallet) to their bank. This gives users more options to buy, sell and send crypto easily.
One of the major adoption hurdles for crypto in emerging markets such as Africa is the lack of infrastructure. While there’s a need for the technology, the lack of infrastructure makes it very difficult for people to use the tech and also get access to these new types of assets.
Maya is very enthusiastic about exploring and helping to build infrastructure that drives more adoption and makes the tech very easy to use for everyday people.
Maya shares a lot of insights about her personal and career journey and offers some tips for folks interested in working in the web3 spaces. Her vision is to build a world where emerging markets have the opportunity and liberty to secure funding and grow their startup as they see fit without any financial constraints through Web3
