Thiqwave joins the Simplicity Accelerator

We are proud to announce that Thiqwave has been selected for the 2026 cohort of the Simplicity Accelerator, run by Simplicity Group - a team known for rigorous, evidence-based work across token economics, go-to-market strategy, and ecosystem development, backing some of the most recognized projects in digital assets.

Out of a competitive applicant pool, fifteen projects were selected for this cohort. Thiqwave is the only stablecoin settlement infrastructure company among them.

Why Simplicity

When we evaluated accelerator programs earlier this year, we had clear criteria. We needed a program that understands infrastructure-stage companies, offers hands-on operational support rather than passive mentorship, and connects us to the right investors and ecosystem partners at the right time.

Simplicity checked every box. The program runs six intensive weeks, with education delivered by established, market-leading companies. And the venture network - Animoca Brands, Borderless Capital, DWF Ventures, Psalion, and others - culminates in a pitch competition judged by top-tier VCs who have committed capital specifically for this cohort.

"Thiqwave is solving one of the most fundamental infrastructure gaps in the MENA digital asset ecosystem. Lukasz and Ahmed combine deep regional banking experience with strong technical execution, and that is exactly the kind of founding team we want in this cohort. We are excited to support their growth over the coming weeks."
— Alex Fatuliaj, Co-Founder & Director at Simplicity Group

The Cohort

The fifteen selected projects span tokenized loyalty, RWA infrastructure, DeFi protocols, prediction markets, on-chain capital allocation, AI-powered data intelligence, and operational security.

We're the settlement layer in that room. Wherever these platforms land, they will eventually hit the same wall: moving value between fiat and on-chain rails, compliantly and at scale. That wall is our product. Six weeks of building alongside teams like this means six weeks of sharpening our API against real integration conversations — and a front-row view of where on-chain finance is heading next.

What this means for us

As we wrote in our manifesto, Thiqwave is the stablecoin settlement infrastructure layer for the Middle East: one integration connecting fiat banking rails to stablecoin networks, across chains, and with non-USD pairs as first-class citizens.

Joining Simplicity gives us three things at a critical moment: a dense network of ecosystem builders to validate and integrate with, institutional-grade guidance on legal, go-to-market, and fundraising strategy, and direct access to active capital that understands digital-asset infrastructure.

Over the next six weeks, we will be heads-down: refining our product, deepening design partner relationships, and preparing for the pitch competition that closes out the program.

We look forward to sharing what comes next.
