I’m Wilfried (wkalidev) — a solo Web3 developer based in Lille, France, working mainly on Celo and Stacks. Freelancing full-time on this since early 2025.
A few things I’ve shipped that felt relevant to this community:
CeloSave — a gasless DeFi savings app on Celo (Aave V3 under the hood), built for people who don’t have easy access to traditional banking
CeloBank Agent — an ERC-8004 verified AI banking agent for managing crypto in natural language, non-custodial
TriviaQ — a trivia game live inside MiniPay, built for Celo’s unbanked-but-smartphone-owning audience. It currently surfaces a “Claim your daily G$” card pointing players toward GoodDollar after each game.
I keep running into the same core question across these projects: how do you actually get programmable money into the hands of people who need it most, not just people who already have a wallet? UBI is a different distribution mechanism than what I’ve built so far, and I’m here mostly to learn more about how the community thinks about that problem.
Wow, the ideas for UBI is great because in minipay you are required to claim the daily rewards every day making it very easy for many people to participate in crypto currency.
Thanks Kim! You’re absolutely right — the daily claim mechanic in MiniPay is one of the strongest onboarding loops I’ve seen in the space. It creates a habit-forming entry point that doesn’t require any prior crypto knowledge, which is exactly the kind of distribution mechanism I’m trying to understand better.
I’ve started integrating GoodDollar more deeply into CeloBank Agent — users can check their G$ balance and human verification status directly from the chat, and the agent is registered on the EngagementRewards contract to earn G$ for every new verified user it onboards. But it still feels like the surface level of what’s possible.
The question I keep coming back to is: how do you embed UBI flows like GoodDollar’s more deeply into app experiences, rather than just surfacing them as a CTA? The claim-every-day model feels like a great foundation for that.
Would love to hear if you’ve seen other examples of friction-free onboarding working well in the field!
