Providing free value comes with a lot of sacrifice, but seeing the impact knowing the value is being received and appreciated is my greatest joy. We successfully kicked off the first cohort of the @Teckcocoon Academy free training program by @AdomLabs, with over 388 registrations! Today marked the official start of our two-week intensive training, beginning with orientation and guidance to help participants choose the right path as they upskill across various tracks, including: * Blockchain/Web3 Development * 2D/3D Animation & Motion Graphics * Web & Mobile Development * UI/UX Design * Data Analysis * Digital Marketing * Project Management Our facilitators and tutors took time to guide each participant toward a career path aligned with their passion and goals. This is only Cohort 1 and there’s so much more to come! We are open to partnerships and collaborations. Let’s build together 🚀

Last weekend, our co-founder @frankk_onchain had the opportunity to present TELLA at the Architects Uyo Meetup and join the panel discussion on the Agentic Economy on @arc. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, tested the product, asked questions, and shared feedback. Every conversation and every piece of feedback helps us build a better product. Next stop: Mainnet👨‍🍳

𝐔𝐲𝐨, 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐩. I've been to two @arc events in Uyo now. Both times I left with more than I came with, better questions, sharper thinking, and people I'll be building alongside for years. That's the part nobody tells you about. You walk in expecting to learn about a blockchain and you walk out having met your people. So if an Arc event happens anywhere near you, go. Genuinely. You don't have to be deep in crypto. You just have to be curious about where money and software are heading. Now, what we actually talked about. Saturday's panel was on the agentic economy. Most conversations about AI agents and money stay abstract. Agents will pay each other. Machines will transact. It sounds like something happening somewhere else, to someone else. I kept coming back to a simpler question while we talked: who does this actually help first? My answer is the same one I've had since I started building. It helps people whose money is losing value while they sleep. Here's what I mean. If you live somewhere with a stable currency, an agent managing your money saves you time. Useful, but not urgent. If you live here, where what you saved in January buys less in December, it's not about convenience. You're not trying to be efficient. You're trying to stop losing. That's why I build @oink_AI. You send a message. It holds your savings in dollars on Arc, locked until a date you choose. No seed phrase. No exchange. No new vocabulary to learn. The agent part isn't decoration. It's the only reason someone who has never touched crypto can use it at all. The honest part. We're not finished. Email sign-up works but isn't live yet. And there's still no clean way to take money back out into naira, because no naira stablecoin exists. Circle has one for South Africa. One for Brazil. One for Mexico. Nothing for us. That's the gap I want closed more than anything else on my roadmap, and it isn't something I can code my way around. What I took from the room. The technology is further along than the access. Arc launched with everything working. Agents can hold money, set limits, pay each other, settle in under a second. That part is done. What's missing is the door. Getting ordinary people in, and getting their money back out in the currency they actually spend. That's the work. Not more infrastructure. Just the last mile. Thank you @TechyDom, @JerryOjumah and @bobbilee for putting it together, and to everyone who showed up and asked questions. Still building. 💙💙

On Saturday at the @arc Uyo meetup, @BoluwatifeAmod decided to capture this conversation I was having with one of the architects @JoeAkpan28, about FX and Crypto trading and how @hibachi_xyz could be of benefit to his trading arsenal. Why jump between apps/brokers when you can trade both markets in one place onchain? The best of both worlds in one place! hibachi.xyz/r/RKOXF7IO34

Got the opportunity to demo @CashTella_ today at the Architects meetup in Uyo. Always a good feeling getting to talk about what we’ve been building, why we’re building it, and where we’re taking TELLA next. #ArcUyoMeetup #BuildOnArc

Always happy having you around

Currently at Arc Uyo Meetup. Come learn about the Agentic economy on Arc. #Arc #ArcUyoMeetup #BuildonArc

It’s so great to see these discussions happening all over the globe

Preaching @hibachi_xyz alongside @TheCharterr at the @arc meetup in Uyo Hibachiiooo

Yesterday in Uyo, I had the opportunity to speak about @hibachi_xyz at the Uyo @arc meetup alongside @TheCharterr. We shared the problem Hibachi is solving in the FX market and how stablecoin-native infrastructure can make FX trading more accessible and efficient. Big thank you to @JerryOjumah and @TechyDom for giving us the stage to share what Hibachi is building. We’re still early, trade on Hibachi. NB: This is a video snippet

The Agentic Economy on Arc is happening now, bringing builders, innovators, and the community together to explore how AI agents and blockchain can shape the next generation of digital commerce. Uyo is building. Arc is moving. 🚀 #Arc #AgenticEconomy #arcUyoMeetup #Web3 #AI

Delighted to speak at today’s Uyo meetup on Agentic Economy on Arc. Great engaging with developers and users on how we can strategically build for the future of AI-powered commerce. Thanks for the incredible energy, Uyo. @arc @samconnerone @bobbilee @TechyDom #arcUyoMeetup
