A global business account. Two co-founders, seven agents.
Eduardo Borges and Guilherme Zanon founded Dolafy in 2026. It gives businesses a USD, EUR, or BRL account in minutes, moves their money over ACH, Wire, SWIFT, PIX, or SEPA, and charges 1% with no monthly fee.

Their customers earn in one country and want to spend in another: affiliates paid by US ad networks, Amazon sellers paying suppliers on Alibaba, and a coffee exporter in Minas Gerais. Eduardo’s rule is that he doesn’t say no to a customer. If someone needs a rail Dolafy doesn’t have, he goes and finds it. That’s how he ended up integrating eight partners.
Two people run all of it, with seven agents. Mark screens a new customer’s documents in about fifteen minutes. Helly picks the bank and opens the account. Harmony runs marketing through Slack. “Whenever we see a task being repeated too often, we just automate it.” What doesn’t get automated is Eduardo’s time, which is why integration speed is the number he watches.
“As a bootstrapper, I pay for my own development. If I take more than two days, I’m losing money.”
Two things: the docs, and the infrastructure.
The docs, which he called the best of the eight. “I’ve seen all the documentation you can imagine, and you guys have a very good one.” He wasn’t on a call with us while he read them. Global Accounts has had agent support since May; the API, sandbox, and reference are written so a coding agent can pick them up the way a developer would. We didn’t build that for Dolafy. It’s how anyone builds on Lightspark.
The infrastructure. One integration to open accounts and move money across currencies, fiat or stablecoin. Dolafy uses it to on-ramp USD for US companies and pay out in USDC. Every corridor we open for any partner on the network reaches Dolafy through the same integration.
Contract signed May 21. Live May 26.
Contract signed May 21, 2026. Live May 26, 2026. One thing he flagged: our account naming. Platform, internal, and external. It’s different from every other partner, and it slowed him down. So we fixed the docs.
“It was pretty easy to do the API implementation. Honestly, I could get it done in one day. But of course, I have to do some tests, right? So we ended up launching and going live in five days.”
Six months in, 200+ businesses live. Five more a day.
Six months in, Dolafy has more than 200 businesses live, is onboarding five a day, and is profitable. And the customers are staying: a 100-person company balked at the 1% fee, tried it anyway, and within hours said they were staying.
“It’s not our money, it’s our customers’ money. We need to have trust in the partner, and building on Lightspark gave us that peace of mind.”
So basically, the thing about Dolafy is we try to move things fast here. We cannot waste time because we’re bootstrapped. So if it takes more than one week to implement something, we’re screwed, you know, because we’re going to lose money. The money is coming from our own pocket. So there’s a huge opportunity cost here that we cannot ignore. So the cool thing about Lightspark was the docs. So it was pretty easy to do the API implementation. Honestly, I could get it done in one day. But of course, I have to do some tests, right? So we ended up launching and going live in five days.
Building in public. In Eduardo’s words.

Build on the same infrastructure. Start from the docs.
The infrastructure Dolafy stood up in five days is the one that runs cross-border P2P for banks, payouts for platforms, and B2B payments for neobanks. It doesn’t know how big the team on the other end is, and increasingly the team on the other end is AI-first with implementation.
