Amp Pay

I got frustrated watching friends and early users in places like Nigeria, Venezuela, Argentina, Turkey, and the Philippines get crushed by 6–10% remittance fees, 50–300% inflation, and local banks that pay effectively 0% on savings. At the same time, I was annoyed that even here in the US I was earning 0.01% on my dollars while DeFi was yielding up to 12% at times on the exact same stablecoins; just completely inaccessible to normal people. So I built Amp Pay: one dead-simple app where anyone, anywhere, can create their own Solana wallet in <10 seconds (no seed phrases, no gas nonsense), send and receive dollars globally, instantly and for free. They can also earn real yield (currently ~7% on stablecoins) and with one tap spend those dollars anywhere Visa is accepted via the Amp Black Card. Zero banks, zero middlemen, zero monthly fees; just better money for everyone. We’re still super early, but already seeing thousands of people across 100+ countries (many who have never touched crypto before) use it as their primary way to save, send, and spend. Every message that says “This is the first time I’ve ever earned interest on my money” is why we’re obsessed with shipping faster. I wanted to launch something with real world value (outside the crypto bubble) rather than another way to loop yield or trade with massive leverage catered to crypto degens. Hope you love it too!
