Connecting Global Builders: Forma Partners with Boxo for Embedded eSIMs

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 more people globally join the internet middle class, creating tools that enable mobility 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 150 countries directly inside the app. This eliminates the friction of physical SIM cards, local carrier contracts, or inconsistent connectivity when crossing regions — essential for builders who often operate across multiple geographies within short timeframes.

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:

• A global eSIM catalogue

• 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

Boxo handles telecom integrations, pricing, and activation flows behind the scenes, allowing Forma to focus on participant experience rather than negotiating individual carrier agreements across jurisdictions.

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.
