Project Description
Jumpa is an automated payment platform designed to simplify crossworder payment stablecoin onramp/offramp while providing virtual USD account and providing yield opportunities all in chat.
Payment in Africa and in most Sea areas are Slow in accessible and expensive. I have traveled to few countries in Africa and i have seen first hand how traders/importers struggle to pay their suppliers in China and other countries across border due to scarcity of dollars, high transaction fee and delay of payments.
SMEs struggle to receive money from their customers within Africa and suffer from local currency devaluation, Most neobanks don’t truly serve Africans-especially in Francophone countries, SEA ( eg Thailand) LATAM
Many users:
-
Don’t have smartphone
-
Face language barriers
-
Struggle with complex interfaces
They’re excluded from modern finance.
Jumpa helps users send and receive money cross 30+ countries without stress of currency exchange complication. Also users can save in USD accounts avoiding local value devaluation.
A Bank That Talks Back
But we didn’t stop at payments.
We thought what if your bank worked like a conversation?
So instead of navigating apps and buttons, you just say:
“Send $50” “Pay my Netflix” “Swap USDT to ETH” “Invest this” “Send 20k naira” “Send 350 bhat” And it happens.
No complexity. No friction. Just intent → action.
- Opening Doors to Bigger Opportunities
There are financial opportunities most people never touch.
Not because they don’t understand them
but because they simply can’t access them.
Things like commercial paper, treasury bills, bonds and other fixed-income assets.
Jumpa changes that by:
-
Tokenizing real-world assets
-
Lowering the barrier to entry
-
Letting users own fractions and earn returns
Unlike platforms that rely on protocols like Aave-which often offer low and unpredictable yields we focus on real, accessible income opportunities.
This matters especially in regions facing currency devaluation, where preserving value is critical.
We’re building for Importers, freelancers, travelers, family sending across borders in chat within a minute.
Project goal
We’re driving adoption, awareness and new type of users to the ecosystem. We’re onboarding users and businesses to freely move money without friction while settling either in local currency or USD. We already tested out our product on our telegram by onboarding 87 testers and crossed over $3kwithin few days while we focus on building our webapp . We currently got listed as on of top 8 products building out of Nigeria by Solana Superteam and also top 20 presently to final of SEVCP venture programme by the south east/ federal government all these shows good market/ product fit while still building and also new cases of payment platform.
How We Add Value to the Nimiq Ecosystem
- Onboard new users who are not crypto-native via Jumpa’s simple chat interface (“Send 50 NIM”, “Stake NIM”, etc.).
- Drive real usage: cross-border payments, merchant payouts, and remittances using Nimiq’s zero-fee rails.
- Create co-marketing opportunities (joint campaigns, featured in Nimiq Pay/Mini Apps if applicable).
- Open-source parts of the integration or build a public mini-app/template for other builders.
Budget request
Jumpa is integrating Nimiq (fast, zero-fee) into its web app to offer users instant, low-cost NIM payments, swaps, existing stablecoin/fiat rails. This goes beyond basic integration: we will add real value to the Nimiq ecosystem by bringing chat-first onboarding for non-crypto users in Africa, Southeast Asia, and LATAM regions with high remittance and import needs.
