About

The problem it solves ROSEN eliminates **3 fundamental barriers** to global digital economies: **1. Cross-border friction** - Traditional platforms block payments between countries/currencies. Our USDC-powered system enables instant global transactions. **2. Economic exclusion** - 1.7B unbanked people can't participate in digital work. We provide stablecoin-earning opportunities requiring only a smartphone. **3. Community fragmentation** - Web3 users are geographically dispersed. Our GPS mapping with Base NFT avatars creates local connections within global networks. We've already proven this model works: • **27,000+ users** earning through social interactions • **80+ countries** represented • **$250,000+ in USDC** transferred/distributed • Won **2nd Place** of **PayPal PYUSD** x Google Global Hackathon • Received **grant** from **Circle (USDC)** Now we're bringing this social layer to Base to empower its growing ecosystem and community.

How it's made

Challenges we ran into **Global On/Off-Ramp Accessibility** Most of our users (in South America, Africa, and Asia) don’t have access to Coinbase. To solve this, we built a two-phase approach: 1. Short-Term: Leveraged a network of 40+ local ambassadors to facilitate off-ramp solutions in underserved regions. 2. Long-Term Vision: Reduce reliance on off-ramps by fostering an onchain economy where users earn, hold, and transact entirely in digital US dollars, e.g. $USDC on Base —eliminating the need for frequent cash-outs.
