September was a super month for the digital assets market but an even better one for Finna as we advanced our infrastructure to make you more inflation-proof in style.
Here are some of the highlights of the past month! 🟢
iOS & Android Rollout
September marked a significant milestone with the full rollout of the Finna app across both iOS and Android platforms. Users can now access Finna anywhere, anytime, and become inflation-proof with our user-friendly toolkit. The app is live on both the Play Store and the App Store, and our download numbers have been skyrocketing! In the past month alone, app downloads surged by nearly 200%! As more users engage with the app, feedback has been pouring in, allowing us to fine-tune and improve the experience.
Community 💚 Finna
Our community-focused approach this month has been all about engagement and rewards. We’ve been actively running giveaway campaigns, with users participating in fun activities across our community channels. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, and as a way of giving back, we’ve kept zero fees on all Celo-based assets through the platform. We love the excitement and how our users are incentivized to share their feedback with us!
Finna cUSD Airdrop — 6 days to go!
The clock is ticking! There are only 6 days left before we close the Finna cUSD airdrop, and the $5,000 pool is still up for grabs. For those who’ve already participated — Your rewards are coming. HODL! If you haven’t, there’s still time to jump in. All you need to do is complete a few simple tasks and transact as much as possible to seize a larger share of the reward pool. It’s been an incredible campaign, helping users experience the benefits of the platform while growing their wallets. We’ll share the stats after the campaign is done! 🚀
Celo Gather to EthSafari to Magma2
Our Kenya adventure continues! In September, we were part of Celo Gather, then seamlessly transitioned to EthSafari. In the course of that, Finna was selected to participate in Magma2. This second cohort of the Founders’ Residency program has been pivotal, allowing us to collaborate with like-minded innovators and shape the future of African finance and on-chain trust in the continent.

In a live Twitter Space session with Celo Nigeria, Our founder, A.G. reflected on his key takeaways and experiences on Celo Gather & EthSafari. Missed it? You can listen to the recording here.

Finna x Circle Alliance
Another exciting win for Finna! 🤫 — we’ve officially joined the Circle Alliance Program! This global ecosystem brings together organizations working to expand financial inclusion for billions of people worldwide, and we’re honored to be a part of it. Through this collaboration, we’re exploring new ways to innovate and extend the reach of stablecoin-powered financial tools. See the Finna page on the Circle Alliance directory here.
User Growth
September was another fantastic month for growth, with our user base continuing to climb. We saw an impressive 20% increase in users, even with minimal community activation as we focused on product improvements. Our transaction volume also grew significantly — up nearly 30% for Swaps and over 150% month on month for lending. This momentum shows that more users are engaging deeply with our platform, utilizing different tools to meet their different needs.
With all these exciting developments, Finna is steadily gaining traction as a force in the financial world. We’re just getting started!
