Ripe enables everyday crypto payments in Southeast Asia. For Renaissance, we built a dApp that allows users to scan GCash—The Philippines’ dominant e-wallet—and Venmo QR codes (or alternatively, enter the phone number of recipient accounts) and use Solana USDC to pay merchants in the local currency. Since merchants receive fiat in their existing e-wallet, there’s absolutely nothing for them to adopt. Ripe lets you spend your crypto at hundreds-of-thousands of locations from day one.
