Lumen Loop's take

This SCF Africa pitch event showcases four builders deploying Stellar infrastructure to solve region-specific problems. Kasimani serves 150,000 gig workers in South Africa with remittances across 17 corridors. FiatSend enables merchants to settle stablecoins to local currencies, completing 8,500 payouts across Africa. Shamba Records has transformed 110,000 farmers via AI credit scoring on Soroban, with plans to reach 6.5 million. Atram provides climate risk insurance and early warnings, preventing loan defaults from preventable climate shocks. Together they illustrate Stellar's role in financial inclusion beyond trading and speculation.
