Payment Rails for an Entire Continent
How Zynta went from a single product company to a funded infrastructure platform, raising millions of dollars, and processed over $90+ million in transactions.
Zynta is a stablecoin infrastructure company built to facilitate frictionless payments across Africa. The founders had a licence and were generating revenue, but were bottle necked with a single product. After partnering with DeCentral Hub, they transformed into a platform company operating at global scale.
Before: Generating Revenue, but Stuck on One Product
- A single product and one use case.
- No clear path to becoming the kind of company that attracts serious capital.
- Stablecoin payments across Africa were still fragmented, expensive, and slow.
- Needed to evolve from a product company into a platform to unlock their next stage of growth.
- Joined the Solana Incubator in New York and needed technical leadership to define what came next.
After: A Funded Platform Processing $90M+ in Transactions
- Raised millions of dollars in funding.
- Unlocked stablecoin payments for the whole of Africa.
- Payment rails transformed into white label APIs enabling cross border transactions between Africa and Europe.
- Launched Compliance as a Service as a new revenue line.
- Platform has processed over $90+ million in transactions and counting.
- Funded infrastructure company operating at global scale.
Process: From Audit to API Infrastructure
- 1Joined Zynta at the Solana Incubator in New York.
- 2Ran a full audit of their existing tech stack.
- 3Conducted a competitive analysis and identified the strategic gap: competitive, compliant APIs that other businesses could integrate.
- 4Built out compliant on and off ramp APIs, giving Zynta’s customers the ability to integrate cross border payment rails directly into their own products.
- 5Positioned Zynta’s licence as the foundation for a white label platform, enabling businesses to move money in and out of the African continent.
- 6Through this, Zynta was able to raise funds, expand compliance into new markets, and onboard new partners.
Conclusion: From One Product to an Entire Ecosystem
By rethinking their product as a platform, Zynta went from a bootstrapped company with one revenue stream to a funded infrastructure business powering stablecoin payments across an entire continent. The APIs DeCentral Hub built turned Zynta’s licence into something other companies could build on top of, opening up revenue lines that didn’t exist before and positioning them for long term, scalable growth.
