Brightform

Payments, from checkout to settlement

Brightform is an ongoing Zagnu project that helps merchants accept payments through Cash App and Venmo, with checkout tools and a portal for sales, wallets and reporting. The product connects web and mobile checkout experiences with blockchain-based settlement using USDC. In its first three months after launch, Brightform settled 1,500+ transactions and processed over $120,000 in payment volume.

Zagnu

A Virtual ATM, right in your pocket

Zagnu brings the Virtual ATM experience to mobile and the web, connecting everyday payment experiences with blockchain infrastructure and USDC stablecoins. We built and maintained its React PWA, including user-facing screens, routing and offline-ready behaviour, developed Android screens and navigation in React Native, and worked on Telegram bot flows and backend API integrations.

Unimart

A marketplace built around campus life

Unimart makes buying and selling easier for Nigerian university students. We built the core frontend screens, routing and state management, API endpoints in Go, and the admin dashboard for listings, users and sellers. The platform onboarded over 100 users in its first month and supports 30+ student brands.

UniWrite

From first draft to final print

UniWrite is an AI-powered academic writing tool for Nigerian university students, built end-to-end. The workflow takes students from a topic and planning questions to research-backed, APA-cited chapters and Word export. We built the frontend and Python FastAPI backend, including the AI integrations and document export flow.

Our process

A clear process, shaped around your business

Four steps from the first call to a launch your team can run. You talk to the people building it the whole way.

How we work

From first idea to confident launch

A clear, shared plan keeps engineering, design and delivery moving in one direction.

  1. Step 01

    Discover

    A short call to learn your business, your customers and the tools you already use.

  2. Step 02

    Define

    We agree the scope, what you leave with and a typical timeline before any build starts.

  3. Step 03

    Build

    We build in short steps and show you working versions as we go, so there are no surprises.

  4. Step 04

    Launch

    We put it live, hand it over and show your team how to run it without us in the room.

FAQ

Quick answers

Still have a question?

Can’t find what you are looking for? Send a note or book a short call and we will help.

Contact us
What kind of projects do you take on?

AI agents and automation, web and mobile apps, web3, UI/UX design, and motion graphics and AI video. If you want something ready-made, start with one of our four packaged solutions.

How long does a typical project take?

Our packaged solutions usually take about two weeks, as shown on each solution page. Custom builds depend on scope. We give you a typical timeline after the first call. It is a shape, not a guarantee.

How much does it cost?

Packaged solutions start from TODO. Custom work is quoted after a short call, once we understand the scope.

What do you need from us?

Access to the tools the work touches, the details only you know (services, hours, rates or booking rules), one person who can make decisions, and feedback when we show you working versions.

Where is it hosted, and who owns it?

We can set it up on your own accounts or host it for you. We agree this before launch, so you know where everything lives.

What happens after launch?

Every packaged solution ends with a short handover so your team can run it. If you want us to keep improving it, tell us on the call and we will agree how that works.
