Forma Partners with Boxo for Embedded eSIMs Purchased with USDC

Forma, the organisation building Solana Economic Zones (SEZs) around the world, has partnered with Boxo to launch an embedded eSIM miniapp directly within the Forma mobile app. The feature is already live, giving participants across Forma-led programmes — from accelerator residencies and pop-ups to long-term zone deployments — instant, borderless mobile data connectivity.

Solana Economic Zones are high-velocity innovation districts where global builders, local talent, cultural communities, and capital converge. Reliable, immediate connectivity is a prerequisite for these environments. As Farhaj Mayan, Co-Founder of Forma, explains, “As global connectivity accelerates, developing mobility-enabling tools is mission critical. By integrating Boxo’s eSIM solution, we are ensuring that participants in our zones can move fluidly across borders, collaborate in real-time, and contribute to the Solana economy from day one.”

With Boxo powering the underlying infrastructure, users can browse, purchase, activate, and manage international eSIM plans across more than 200 countries and regions directly inside the app. Participants can also purchase Forma eSIMs using USDC stablecoins directly from their wallet, creating a seamless on-chain payment flow that mirrors the speed of the Solana network itself. This aligns naturally with Forma’s mission to support global builders through digital-native tools that remove friction from real-world mobility.

Why eSIMs Matter for Solana Economic Zones

Forma’s global programmes are built around mobility, collaboration, and rapid iteration. The eSIM miniapp addresses three core needs:

1. Instant connectivity for global participants
   Builders arrive from around the world, often on short notice. eSIMs give them immediate, contract-free data access from the moment they land.

2. Reducing friction in high-velocity innovation environments
   Labs and accelerator cohorts require stable, reliable connectivity to prototype, ship, and collaborate at speed.

3. Supporting seamless, multi-regional movement
   SEZ participants frequently shift between cities and zones; eSIMs ensure uninterrupted communication and productivity.

“Forma is pioneering the intersection of digital networks and real-world economic zones. Embedding global eSIM connectivity ensures every participant can operate instantly and reliably, no matter where they are coming from. It’s the foundation for seamless collaboration across borders.” -Kaniyet Rayev, CEO of Boxo

Boxo’s Infrastructure Powering the Experience

Boxo’s superapp SDK enables organisations to embed plug-and-play miniapps — eSIMs, lounges, travel, payments, and commerce — through a single integration. For Forma, Boxo provides:

• Native USDC payment support, allowing users to purchase eSIMs directly from their wallet

• Coverage in over 200 countries and regions

• Instant in-app activation

• Carrier-agnostic provisioning

• Transparent regional pricing

• UI that fits natively into the Forma app

Behind the scenes, Boxo handles telecom integrations, pricing, payment flows, and activation processes, enabling Forma to offer seamless global connectivity without needing to negotiate individual carrier agreements or build payment infrastructure. For builders moving across jurisdictions, the ability to pay with USDC ensures reliability even in countries where traditional cards fail or regional payment systems are inconsistent.

Powering Mobility Across Solana Economic Zones

The eSIM miniapp is now being used across Forma’s active initiatives, including:

• Accelerator and founder residencies

• Short-term pop-up zones

• Long-term SEZ implementations in Latin America, Central Asia, and additional regions

As Forma expands its network of interconnected economic environments, Boxo’s embedded eSIM infrastructure ensures every participant has the connectivity needed to contribute to the Solana economy immediately and effectively. The integration also supports Forma’s broader roadmap to unify digital identity, payments, connectivity, and real-world economic participation within its global zones.
