It begs the question does Nostr have a bridge to M-PESA?
M-PESA and WhatsApp
both widely used platforms in Kenya, with M-PESA serving as a mobile money service and WhatsApp as a messaging application. While they operate independently, there have been efforts to integrate M-PESA’s payment capabilities within WhatsApp’s messaging interface. For instance, developers have created WhatsApp chatbots that utilize the M-PESA API to facilitate transactions directly through WhatsApp, enabling services like bill payments and money transfers.  However, these integrations are typically third-party initiatives and not official collaborations between Safaricom (the operator of M-PESA) and WhatsApp. Therefore, while both platforms are integral to daily communication and financial transactions in Kenya, their direct integration remains limited to independent developer projects rather than formal partnerships.
