This just in. We are thrilled to welcome MiniPay to the Celo ecosystem! 🎉
What is MiniPay? It’s a new self-custodial stablecoin wallet by Opera that’s built on Celo, designed to transform the way Opera’s 100M+ mobile users across Africa engage with crypto and Web3 technology.
Experience Lightning-Fast Transactions with MiniPay MiniPay allows users to send and receive transactions in less than 5 seconds with sub-cent fees. At just 2 MB, MiniPay is ultralight, ensuring that users who benefit from Opera's free data campaigns can continue using the browser without interruption. MiniPay's intuitive interface further enables easy onboarding and swift stablecoin transactions in just a few taps.
The wallet's direct integration with the Opera Mini Android browser will soon grant access to Opera's expansive community, first starting in Nigeria, then Kenya, Ghana, and South Africa!
Seamless Onboarding, Total Control
MiniPay eliminates the "Connect Wallet" button, using Google credentials for easy and frictionless onboarding. No more long, complicated wallet addresses, users can send with a mobile phone number. For hassle-free on- and off-ramping, MiniPay supports local payment methods via Fonbank, Paychant, and Bitmama.
Solving Real-World Challenges
Hyperinflation (e.g., 24% in Nigeria) and high transaction fees are prevalent throughout Africa, fueling growing interest in mobile money and crypto. MiniPay addresses these concerns by offering everyday utility, including the ability to save in cUSD, one of the stable assets on the Mento Protocol which tracks the value of the US Dollar (USD).
