This week marks significant progress across multiple fronts at Hamza Labs as we continue building the future of decentralized commerce. Our development team successfully launched Bitcoin payments and made substantial improvements to our payment infrastructure, while our content and marketing efforts gained impressive traction with over 900 views on our latest Spanish-language content. Key highlights include advancing discount code testing, preparing homepage improvements for implementation, and expanding our outreach efforts across investment opportunities and community engagement.
Cross-chain & Bitcoin Payments
The development team achieved a major milestone this week with the successful launch of Bitcoin payments on June 10th. Bitcoin has now been integrated as a principal, choosable currency option, with the currency selection feature set to launch next week before login. The team also addressed various bugs and implemented improvements to enhance the overall payment experience. With no current obstacles blocking progress, the Bitcoin payment system represents a significant step forward in our cross-chain payment capabilities.
Discount Codes
Testing for the discount code feature has begun in collaboration with Jose, marking solid progress toward this customer-friendly feature. The testing phase is proceeding smoothly without any reported obstacles, and the team expects to complete testing within the next week. This feature will provide additional flexibility for both sellers and buyers on the platform.
Homepage Improvement
Chris has completed the design phase for homepage improvements, positioning the project for implementation to begin next week. With the design finalized and no obstacles in the way, this initiative will enhance user experience and platform aesthetics. The implementation timeline is set for the upcoming week, promising visible improvements to the platform’s front-end.
VZ Campaign
Jose has been actively engaging with community members in the Hamza Spanish Telegram group, exploring opportunities for future videos and events to boost Hamza’s social media presence. This community engagement led to the creation of a Spanish-language YouTube video addressing how Hamza serves as an important tool for individuals seeking to obtain or spend cryptocurrency in an increasingly regulated world. The content specifically touches on current events in Venezuela, including government crackdowns on black market dollar trade. The campaign has already generated impressive results, with the main video and accompanying short accumulating over 900 views.
Decom Talks (Twitter Spaces)
Jose produced substantial video content this week, including a 12:30-minute Spanish-language video titled “What would happen if Bitcoin reaches $1 million” aimed at the Latin American community, along with an accompanying YouTube short published on Thursday, June 12th. An English version targeting English-speaking audiences has been filmed and is currently in post-production for release. Both videos explore scenarios where Bitcoin becomes the world’s leading asset and governments respond with heavy crypto regulation, positioning web3 non-KYC tools like Hamza as invaluable resources. Additionally, a lighter one-minute promotional short for Hamza is being prepared for weekend release.
Investment Search
Mike made significant progress on multiple investment fronts this week, following up with two Vietnam incubators and drafting an application for the Near Protocol AI agent program. He attended Bitcoin meetups to network with potential partners and met with investment consultants to assess current market conditions. While the lack of an alt season presents ongoing challenges, the team plans to submit the Near Protocol application next week, maintaining momentum in the investment search process.
Buyer and Seller Acquisition/Management
The acquisition efforts showed strong momentum this week with the distribution of a third BTC payment email and smooth social media management requiring minimal quality control time. The team is developing blog creation AI automation and working on a weekly acquisition tracking table. With no reported obstacles, the focus remains on ensuring all social media channels, including web3 platforms, are established with proper content calendars to support consistent engagement.
SEO Improvement
Chris Li successfully launched SEO improvements on June 10th, enhancing the platform’s search visibility and organic reach. With no obstacles reported and improvements now live, this initiative supports broader discoverability and user acquisition efforts.
Conclusion
This week demonstrated Hamza Labs’ continued momentum across technical development, content creation, and business development. The successful Bitcoin payment launch represents a major technical achievement, while our content efforts are generating significant community engagement with over 900 views on Spanish-language content alone. With homepage improvements ready for implementation, discount codes entering final testing, and investment applications in progress, we’re building solid foundations for sustainable growth. The combination of technical progress, community engagement, and strategic outreach positions us well for continued expansion in the decentralized commerce space.
