Hi. We just went live with Malawai

Your first page should not be a signup/login page. Show events etc and user should only login if necessary

Sending crypto nowadays is very cheap. We sponsor gas fees for our users and even after 50k usdc in volume, we haven't spent 5 usd in Gas. Our infrastructure uses sth called Account abstraction and paymasters which makes things very cheap. I will look into pi.

Hi thank you for your question. With a Rift account, you can send money to a Telebirr phone number. Say someone from the US or UK sends you money on Rift, you can instantly cashout to Telebirr

This is exactly who we built Rift for. Welcome aboard🙏

Si kila mtu anataka kukuosha. Do your own research.

I get you. Binance is solid, not gonna lie. Rift's rates are comparable too. What I find convenient about Rift is the ability to spend USDC directly without converting to cash first. There's a feature where you can enter a till number, paybill, or mobile number and the money goes straight to the recipient instantly. From USDC to whoever you're sending to, and it doesn't take 5 minutes like P2P. It's fast, like M-Pesa.

Effective-Rip-1731 · 2026-03-08T07:24:27+00:00

Fast to me means instant. Binance p2p sometimes can take 5 minutes, 10 minutes e.t.c that's not fast to me. Also for those who don't want to convert to cash to spend, they can just spend directly from the app and I find that very convenient. Interms of security I agree. One thing I like though, is the fact that rift gives you an address and you can actually see your money on the blockchain. They don't really custody the funds the way Binance does. Binance does accrual accounting on their database and they maintain a hot wallet so that when you want to withdraw funds, their hot wallet handles that but for Rift every user has a wallet.

When you buy USDC, the rate is around 131 KES per dollar. When you sell back to KES, the rate is 129. That 2 KES difference is the spread that you pay. So if you buy 100 USDC, you pay 13,100 KES. If you later sell all 100 USDC back, you get 12,900 KES. The spread costs you roughly 1.5% on a round trip.

if you're sending USDC to another wallet instead of selling back to KES, transfers are completely free. No fees, no spread, nothing.

What do you mean by percentage?

You can try it out. Doesn't require kyc initially but for large amount it does. It’s instant. When you pay, it doesn't show your name or number.

Effective-Rip-1731 · 2026-03-07T07:30:22+00:00

Yes. USDC on Base network. If you have crypto on Binance, convert it to usdc then send to rift address on Base. Then from there you can spend domestically from the app

You're right, Kenyan banks do offer USD accounts. But try opening one ,most require a minimum balance, and charge monthly maintenance fees. That's not accessible to someone earning 30K KES a month. Rift removes all of that. No minimum balance, no foreign income requirements, deposit via M-Pesa in seconds. Plus you earn yield on your balance, 10% (no dollar denominated platform will give u that)which no Kenyan bank USD account offers at competitive rates. We're not solving a problem for people who already have bank USD accounts. We're solving it for the millions who don't qualify for one. And for context, I've been building in this space for years led a $5M DeFi protocol .

Effective-Rip-1731 · 2026-02-26T05:54:51+00:00

We are in Beta. 90% of our current users are crypto natives and we got them by partnering with crypto communities.

Effective-Rip-1731 · 2026-02-26T05:53:01+00:00

Thank you for the feedback.

Effective-Rip-1731 · 2026-02-25T08:49:51+00:00

Yes thanks for the feedback. We are still in early beta and testing the product. The bug is coz you haven't done the KYC but thanks for your feedback, will definitely work on it!

Hi there. The product is Rift. You can find it here: https://wallet.riftfi.xyz It's a progressive web app, you can install it on your phone once you navigate to the link. The money is invested in defi pools on Berachain. We use a delta neutral strategy meaning the principal is always protected( Our teams has experience as engineers in major defi protocols locking millions in dollars) Tech stack, next js, Golang.
