MiniPay, a self-custodial wallet, introduces a feature called Pockets, allowing users to seamlessly swap between the Celo dollar (cUSD), USDT, and USDC with minimal fees. This drag-and-drop feature simplifies asset swapping.
Initially built on the Celo blockchain using Mento’s cUSD, MiniPay was launched in Africa to address high transaction fees and unreliable local payment options.
The new Discover Page feature provides access to various decentralized applications (DApps).
Since its inception, MiniPay has activated over three million wallets in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa.
Opera Mini remains the most downloaded mobile browser in Africa, reflecting the continent’s strong interest in cryptocurrency.
