Stablecoins aren’t just for yield. They’re lifelines for merchants, farmers, and cross-border communities left out of the traditional financial system. @razacodes of @Scroll_ZKP explains how Scroll is going deep into the global south to build real use cases. Let’s dive in 👇
From Crypto Twitter to Coffee Farms Most projects chase the same 10K users on CT. But Scroll is focused on where stablecoins matter most: ➛ Real-world businesses ➛ Margins that make or break livelihoods ➛ Places where people have smartphones but no clean water
Results from Mocha ➛ 3x profit margins for farmers ➛ Six-figure revenue already ➛ Farmers use crypto without even knowing it ("Why is it fast & cheap? Oh, it's $USDT.") Scroll provides infra. Mocha delivers value.
Use Case #2: VIFI – Fixing FX for Africa<>Asia Trade Cross-border trade (e.g., Kenya ↔ Hong Kong) suffers from: • High FX spreads • Too many intermediaries • Slow settlement VIFI offers stablecoin swaps: → Local currency stablecoin (KES) → Swapped into offshore stablecoin (HKD, USD) → Instant, no middlemen
Use Case #3: Merchants as LPs In many markets, merchants use PSPs to collect stablecoin payments. Scroll is helping them do more than just cash out: → Reinvest stablecoins into yield-bearing protocols → Tailor based on risk preference → Preserve & grow purchasing power It’s DeFi with guardrails, built for real-world SMEs.
Beyond Infra: Scroll’s Startup School Scroll launched a Startup School in Kuala Lumpur: ➛ 1,000+ signups ➛ 14 selected teams from 4 continents ➛ Focus: revenue, users, growth hacking ➛ No token talk till they’ve hit PMF Season 2 is coming. Raza moved there with his family. He’s all in.
Stablecoins don’t need to be revolutionary. They just need to be: → Fast → Cheap → Trusted When they are, people use them. No token launch required. The next billion users don’t want volatility. They want utility.
