We're Going to Paris: Building the Future of Crypto Payments

We're going to Paris. And we're about to make crypto as easy to access as cash.

Gerald Chenyi and Duclair were selected for The Aquarium — XRPL Commons's elite 12-week residency in Paris.

Gerald Chenyi, Founder of Mobile Wallet Inc.

Out of hundreds of applicants. One cohort. Two Cameroonians with a mission that terrifies traditional finance.


The $100 Billion Heist Happening Right Now

Every year, nearly $100 billion flows from the African diaspora back home.

A nurse in London sends $50 to her mother in Douala. $46 arrives. If she's lucky.

The rest? Vanished into "processing fees." That's $4-8 BILLION stolen annually.

We're building the infrastructure they said was impossible.


Mobile Wallet: The Revolution Already in Motion

✓ Contracts signed with MTN Cameroon
✓ Two ATM networks in manufacturing
✓ First deployment: Cameroon. Then the continent.

Network 1: Mobile Money ATMs (MTN, Orange)
Network 2: Crypto ATMs (BTC, ETH, USDT, SOL, BNB)

Scan QR code. Select asset. Withdraw cash. Your grandmother can use it.


SendSasa: The 60-Second Money Transfer (Coming Soon)

We're turning WhatsApp into a remittance platform.

Text "$50 to Mum" → 60 seconds later, it's in her mobile money account. Under 1% fees. Powered by USDC on XRPL.

Zero new apps. Zero crypto jargon. Zero tolerance for 8%+ fees.


Here's What Makes This Unstoppable

SendSasa gets money across borders in seconds. Mobile Wallet gets it into people's hands as cash.

  • Student in Paris → Sends via SendSasa
  • Mother in Yaoundé → Withdraws from our ATM
  • Entrepreneur in Douala → Cashes out crypto

One ecosystem. Zero middlemen.


The Aquarium Changes Everything

12 weeks in Paris means:

  • Building SendSasa from concept to launch on XRPL
  • Direct access to the fastest settlement layer in crypto
  • Mentorship from people who've scaled billion-dollar solutions
  • Resources to take Mobile Wallet continental

The Timeline

Jan 19: We land in Paris
12 weeks: We build and test
Mar 27: We launch both platforms

By Q2 2026, a mother in London sends money home in 60 seconds for under 1%. Her daughter withdraws it as cash from our ATM.

No banks. No Western Union. No theft disguised as fees.


This isn't a pitch. This is a warning.

To remittance companies: Your business model just became obsolete.

To crypto projects with no real use case: Watch how it's actually done.

To everyone who said blockchain can't solve real problems: We're about to prove you spectacularly wrong.


The revolution will be withdrawn from an ATM in Cameroon. Sent via WhatsApp from Paris. Powered by XRPL.

Built by two guys who got tired of watching their people get robbed.
