If you guys remember, a few months back, some SuperteamNG leads, myself included, were screaming β€œJesus!” on the timeline πŸ˜‚ We had just heard the news of Evolution’s acquisition and couldn't believe it. Tomorrow, we'll hear from the horse’s mouth about how it all happened, the lessons from building Evolution, and what comes next. Bring your questions!
A major milestone for the Superteam Nigeria communityβ€”and there’s more to the story. Join us tomorrow on X Space as we unpack how @evolutionapp_’s acquisition happened, what it means for the team and our ecosystem, and also what comes next. Friday, October 23 | 6pm WAT

I’m still away on my honeymoon. Currently in Hong Kong. Today’s @Cap v0.6.1 launch was all scheduled. No stress. Hardly used my laptop, only in the evening for a moment if there was a support issue blocked earlier that day. @Cap is having another record month and this is the least amount of effort I’ve ever put in (been away all month!). The generational lock-in that is about to occur when I’m back home is going to be incredible.

This week is my last week @SolanaFndn on the Solana Developer Platform (SDP). Honestly one of the most fun stretches of work I've had. 3 months, 89 merged PRs: delivery-versus-payment, bring your own RPC, approvals, policy, and a lot of system polishes across the board. Thank you @GuiBibeau, @bashtwigs, @devVGBG, @catgu_, @vibhu, @nocircuit, Keegan and Thomas Fischer. Every review made me better. I'm open to chat if you want us to collaborate. Senior Technical Lead at Boh, co-founder of @SolanaStudentAf, full stack in TypeScript and Rust, payments and AI agent infra on @solana. DMs open. Check it out: platform.solana.com.

Haven’t slept for the past 48+ hours. Busy shipping, iterating and making sure that privacy becomes a norm in the industry. Today’s mainnet launch was a huge success for the team. I will be sending out a few bucks in an hour using @gloamtrade claim links feature. You don’t have to do anything, just click and claim privately.🀍
Gloam is live on the mainnet. Public chains got one thing badly wrong. They made every payment a public record, just from your address. Nobody would accept that from a bank. We accepted it on-chain because there was no alternative. Now there is. Starting today, on Robinhood Chain and Tempo, you can: βž” Pay anyone privately, by Gloam address, or by a claim link that works like cash βž” Hold a private balance only you can see βž” Prove exactly what you need to, to exactly who needs it, and nothing more βž” Let AI agents pay and get paid privately through our MCP server βž” Use the Gloam SDK to integrate privacy in your apps. No middlemen or operators, and you hold your own keys. Deposits and private payments are free, and beta deposit limits apply while we start. Stablecoins are becoming how the world moves money. That money deserves the same privacy as cash. Privacy is no longer coming. It’s here.

The cat is finally out of the bag! One of our products, @evolutionapp_ , founded by SuperteamNG member @timmyisagod, has just been acqui-hired by Nuvion, a global banking platform. A core part of our work at @SuperteamNG is discovering ambitious founders early, connecting them to the right resources and opportunities, and helping them turn promising ideas into globally competitive products. Milestones like this are a reminder of why that work matters. Job’s not finished 🫑
Excited to share that Evolution has joined Nuvion @ournuvion πŸš€ When we started Evolution, we had a simple vision: make moving money across borders easier and more accessible for individuals and businesses, enabling them to go Global from wherever they were. We believed that accessing global financial services shouldn’t be complicated simply because of where you live or where your business operates. What started as a platform for exchanging digital assets grew into something much bigger. We built infrastructure that enabled people and businesses to hold multiple currencies, receive international payments, move money across borders, and access financial tools that were previously out of reach. Along the way, we served thousands of users, processed millions of dollars in transactions, and learned firsthand what it takes to build financial infrastructure in emerging markets. But more importantly, we saw just how much work remains to be done. As we continued building, one thing became increasingly clear: solving cross-border banking challenges at scale requires more than a great product. It requires strong financial infrastructure, regulatory reach, and the ability to serve businesses wherever they operate. That’s what makes this next chapter with Nuvion particularly exciting. Nuvion is building an AI Powered Global banking platform for ambitious businesses, bringing multicurrency accounts, international payments, FX, virtual cards, and stablecoin infrastructure together in one place. Our visions have always been closely aligned, and joining forces gives us the opportunity to pursue what we started at Evolution on a much larger scale. For me, this is an opportunity to take everything we’ve learned building Evolution and apply it to something with the infrastructure, reach, and ambition to serve businesses around the world. I’m especially excited that members of the Evolution team are continuing this journey with me at Nuvion. We’ve spent years building, solving difficult problems, and learning together. Now we get to bring that experience into a much bigger mission. To everyone who believed in Evolution, our early customers, investors, partners, community, and the incredible people who contributed to our journey: thank you. You trusted us when we were still figuring things out, challenged us to build better, and helped turn an idea into a real business. I’m incredibly proud of what we built, and even more excited about what comes next. Evolution was never just about building another fintech company. It was about making global banking accessible for the people and businesses who need it. That mission continues at Nuvion. The Job is just starting

3.7 GB β†’ 440 MB is wild 🀯 Glad I got to help with this one: faster imports, faster thumbnails, and a few more perf PRs on the way. Congrats to the whole team Cap v0.6.1 is available now on macOS, Windows and Linux. Download at Cap.so/download, or update right from the app.
Cap v0.6.1 is here. Our engine was always Rust. Now the UI is too, rebuilt on GPUI with no web view. It's much faster. Memory: 3.7 GB β†’ 440 MB CPU: 77% β†’ 18% Exports: up to 5x faster 180+ fixes and improvements from 41 contributors.
