The traditional banking systems in most of these countries are systematically designed to prevent access to assets like dollars.\n\nWe’ve spent the majority of our careers in crypto, traveling everywhere from the Middle East to Southeast Asia for work—and we observed how people in regions with economic instability have begun to adopt stablecoins as a store of value. However, existing products—typically peer-to-peer crypto exchanges—are centered on traders and are still too complex for average users, hindering mass-market adoption.\n\n# **Our Solution**\n\n\n\nKarsa is a global digital wallet that makes it easy for anyone across the world to deposit money using local payment methods and save in dollar-denominated stablecoins.\n\nFor a user, it looks similar to a bank—but under the hood, we route our supply from a network of verified peer-to-peer stablecoin traders, whom buyers are making their deposit payments to.\n\n* Structuring it as peer-to-peer allows us to _actually_ be global from day one and circumvent government interference: in most of these markets, centralized products (i.e., requiring a bank account in the relevant country) often get shut down. _This means that in many of the regions we operate in, we’re the only way anyone can reasonably get access to stablecoins._\n* Unlike incumbent exchanges, however, we’ve entirely abstracted the ‘P2P’. Traditionally, buyers and sellers engage in chats for each transaction (to confirm details, etc.). This is onerous for sellers, and off-putting for new buyers. Instead, we sit in the middle, matching price orders and managing verification, appeals, etc. with sellers directly—much less work for sellers, and an incredibly simple process for buyers.\n* We’ve also abstracted everything _crypto_ about it—no crypto knowledge, wallet / key management, etc. needed, so that even your parents could use the platform.\n* User funds are held in self-custody crypto wallets, meaning your money is always yours—unlike a centralized exchange (e.g., FTX) there’s no way for us to access, freeze, or lose your funds.\n\n# **Team**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=87203&key=user_uploads/1110862/dbb9d996-6d96-4caf-9820-899438b2748d)\n\nShahryar and Dale have been working in the crypto space for the majority of their careers (leading business development and protocol engineering, respectively). We’ve lived and worked across the world in the same regions that we want to provide our product to—we deeply understand the tech, the market, and how stablecoins can best be leveraged to create more financial freedom.\n\nWe’ve been close friends for years, joined the industry at similar times (Shahryar actually got Dale to FOMO in), and we now work together out of Dale’s kitchen in New York. \n\n# **Asks**\n\nWe’re already going live today with sellers in Pakistan, India, Nigeria, Kenya, Paraguay and setting up a couple other regions as we speak. If you know or work with anyone in South Asia, Africa, Southeast Asia, or the Middle East—whether they’re a contract worker, freelancer, developer, crypto trader, SMB owner, or just family/friends who would be interested in saving with Karsa or working with us as a stablecoin supplier—please don’t hesitate to connect us at [**shahryar@gokarsa.com**](mailto:shahryar@gokarsa.com).

We're Josh, Michael, and Manny and we're building Fire Wallet!\r\n\r\n🔥Why we built this\r\n\r\nMost wallets and payment processors don’t work FOR you. They're slow, route your payments in the way that earns them the most, and they leak your financial life to anyone asking. Worse: every single one hold the keys to your money.\r\n\r\nWe believe your financial tools should act in your interest and, frankly, that your money should be yours.\r\n\r\n 🔥What Fire does\r\n\r\nMulti-chain, non-custodial, end-to-end encrypted wallet. \r\nYour keys, your money, your assets: you are in full control of your funds at all times. \r\nLeast Cost Routing. Every swap and payment takes the cheapest path, not the one that pays a middleman the most.\r\nSelf-sovereign payment processing. Send an invoice straight from the wallet. Get paid from your web checkout. No middleman.\r\nEasy fiat on/off ramps. Move stablecoins to USD and back without the pain.\r\nBuilt for agentic commerce. Manage per-agent sub-wallets for agentic workflows.\r\nEncrypted by default. Protecting you from bad actors and surveillance capitalism.\r\n\r\n🔥Early traction\r\n\r\nSigned our first major LOI with @Trustboop (founded by Justice Laub of Drone Racing League and Rob Rhinehart of Soylent).\r\n\r\nOnboarding our first enterprise customer in ecommerce packaging and marketing, doing about $1.5M/month in volume. They've connected us to 10 more companies in the same vertical at similar volume, roughly a $100M/yr GMV opportunity.\r\n\r\n🔥Why us\r\n\r\nJosh and Manuel led the creation of MobileCoin, the cryptocurrency in Signal Messenger: $100M+ raised, $1.16B peak valuation, $4B+ peak coin market cap, acquired in 2026.\r\n\r\nMichael runs product and design. He's an internationally exhibited artist with two published art books, and he builds sick products.\r\n\r\nManuel runs operations and orchestrates systems that actually work at scale.\r\n\r\n🔥Asks\r\n\r\nIntros to businesses moving $1M+/month in payments, especially cross-border, ecommerce, and DTC, who want lower fees and more control over their funds.\r\n\r\nStrategic partners in fintech and payments interested in integrating our infrastructure.\r\nTell us what's broken. Reply here or email founders@fire.co.\r\n\r\nWe're looking for our first 100 customers.
