How is the project progressing? In October, about 2,000 customers will be invited to participate in discussions about the details of the project, including decentralization and features in the Web3 space. Nubank's general manager for Nucoin, Fernando Czapski, said:
“We decided to bring a group of customers into this co-creation process precisely to refine our product ahead of the public launch, to ensure we get to a program that truly resonates with our customers' expectations and needs.”
