Africa has a demand problem, a broken infrastructure, and here's how @solana can fix it.
@tobyweb3x, founder of @usefleets, on why he stopped flipping tokens and started financing buses
"When you come onchain there's a lot of money flipping, which is nice. But at some point you begin to ask yourself, how can you have a real impact on the people around you?"
"Every morning I go to the bus stop and there's a queue of 100 people all rushing to get on one bus. I've been to South Africa, I've been to Kenya, and I've seen the exact same problem."
"People just need to move, not everybody is going to get their own car, and there just aren't enough fleets or buses to move these people. That's the mindset that got us building Fleets."
The whole protocol grows out of that one observation: the demand to move people is already there. What's missing is the capital that puts the buses on the road.

Congrats to all the winners and honorable mentions from the @colosseum Frontier Hackathon, the largest one yet by participation.
I've been at @techexpohq (African Tech Expo, ATE 2026) for the past two days, which is why this is coming late.
Things landed differently than I'd hoped, but getting to the interview stage is still something to be proud of (right?).
With @blockride_xyz (v1 of the idea), we got honorable mention at both Hyperdrive and Renaissance, without ever reaching an interview. Our first submission used NFTs for tokenization, which we later realized had real limitations. Second time around we switched to SFTs, which came with their own constraints too. After that we stepped away from hackathons entirely and just kept building on our own, at our own pace, with no deadline pushing us (slow and probably not steady).
Around March this year, with no hackathon in mind at all, I started redesigning the whole idea from scratch. I only found out about the Frontier Hackathon about two weeks before it kicked off, and decided to bring this new version into it. This is a completely different approach from what we built for Blockride, rebuilt from the ground up in about a month, and two weeks into the hackathon we had to redesign the entire model. Proud of what we managed to put together in that window.
This time around, we got to the interview stage, and next time, we're definitely gunning for the win.
Thanks to @DefiSolar and @c2yptic for never getting tired of me running this idea past them over and over.
Shipping continues.
Congrats to all the winners and honorable mentions.
This is the largest crypto hackathon yet with 2,857 project submissions. That's a seriously deep field.
We poured our hearts into this throughout the hackathon and after, and getting interviewed out of that many builders is something we hold dearly.
Shipping continues, as on-chain fleet financing won't build itself.

Tokenized “real-world” assets (RWAs) have surged 10x in two years, now topping $30B — with nearly half held in U.S. Treasury debt.
The growth reflects rising institutional demand to put traditional financial instruments onchain, from government bonds and commodities to equities and private credit. While U.S. Treasuries dominate today, the asset class is broadening, with more categories gaining meaningful share in recent quarters.
Note: RWAs are traditional financial instruments such as government bonds, commodities, and equities that are represented onchain as tokens.
