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.
The framing around Amara's story is a smart way to make the problem concrete. Using stablecoins as an invisible rail so neither side has to think about crypto is a solid design decision, takes the friction out without requiring either party to trust the underlying tech.
This deserves more than just a like

BABBU
Every toddler invents their own language. Babbu is my daughter Matilda's word for ball. By the time she says it correctly, I'll have already forgotten how it sounded.
Babbu is a private dictionary for the words only your child says, the mispronunciations, the invented names, the sounds that make sense to no one but you. No social features. No accounts. Just a growing archive of a specific, unrepeatable moment in your child's life.
Try it here: https://adobe-slush-93538397.figma.site
✨ What it does
- Add a word as your child says it, plus what it actually means
- Record their voice directly in the app
- Automatically matches an illustration to the word's meaning, translating it from any language
- Colour-code each card
- Search your collection
- Share a snapshot of the full dictionary with family as a single link
🛠️ Built with

This is so wonderful! Did you make the video with Weave?
This project is special to me.
I have shared a lot of WIP videos about it a few months ago and now I am ready to share more details about this amazing framer template.
