Tethered Outpost: Benefits without borders

Remote work has crossed borders, but employee benefits have not.

Tethered Outpost is a stablecoin-powered benefits platform designed for distributed teams. It helps companies fund category-based benefit wallets for remote employees, who can then redeem those benefits with verified local providers in their own countries.

The project follows Amara, a remote software engineer in Lagos, as she receives an employer-funded Health benefit, discovers a verified local clinic, and unlocks a full health screening without paying out of pocket.

Behind the scenes, stablecoins act as the invisible payment rail: the employer funds normally, value moves efficiently across borders, and the provider receives local currency. The employee does not need to understand crypto. The provider does not need to accept crypto. The experience simply works locally.

For the Config Makeathon, I used Figma Make to build the interactive product experience, Figma Design to structure the interface and product system, and Figma Weave to create the brand visuals, motion assets, and campaign direction.

The walkthrough clip attached to this post was created using a combination of Figma Weave-generated motion assets and screen recordings from the published site.

The core idea is simple:

Benefits should follow people, not headquarters.
