About LINK

Why we built LINK

Stablecoins are opening doors for businesses in overlooked developing countries to accept international payments quickly, safely, and at a lower cost. Just like global financial systems and fintechs rely on networks like Visa and Mastercard, LINK is building the infrastructure that connects end users with stablecoins, regardless of their blockchain knowledge.

Through beautiful and accessible graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and APIs, LINK orchestrates blockchains, custodial infrastructure, and financial service providers to make global stablecoin payments accessible, all powered by smart contracts.

About our founders

The Frustration

As international students at the university, we were frustrated by the high cost of receiving international money transfers. We tried building an alternative and realized early enough that the infrastructure needed to build such a solution didn't just exist yet at the time.

The Breakthrough

Blockchain technology was the answer to solving it — we went on to win a bootcamp, coming in 1st place across the African continent, held by the Stellar Development Foundation.

The Problem Today

There is still friction in payments for international internet businesses who seek to enter new emerging, developing and developed markets or for SMEs that just want to receive payments from their customers. Most of the existing options today are still expensive, and a lot of money is still being lost.

The Vision & Team

Stablecoins, DeFi infrastructure, and traditional rails working together is the perfect solution to solve this. Emmanuel, Marvel, and Tomisin have academic and professional backgrounds in Computer Science, Software Engineering, and Forex trading.
