🗣️ A peer-to-peer Bitcoin trade just settled to M-Pesa in Kenya — in minutes, with no custodian touching the cash.

Buyer earned sats in escrow, tapped once, and Kenyan shillings landed in their M-Pesa. No bank, no middleman, no app-to-app dance. Bitcoin rails reaching all the way to local money.

That's Chama v4.0.0 — a local-money marketplace on Fedimint ecash, Lightning, and Nostr. Your identity is your key. Your trades are escrowed by community arbiters. Chama never holds your fiat or your sats.

The cash-out is pure LUD-16: your sats pay a Lightning Address, mobile money lands. No custom integration — which is why any wallet, any market can do this. We just did it first, to M-Pesa, today.

Local money, Bitcoin rails. ⚡🌍
