🚨Lamine Yamal on his celebration after scoring his first World Cup Goal.
🗣️“It is the most humble position in Islamic prayer (Salah). During each unit (rak’ah) of prayer, Allah is the creator of all living beings in this universe I have to thank him for this special moment.”
I’m a Muslim I’ve the heart to thank him for every moment in my life, Mo Salah is one of the player who inspired me to thank him always in every moment and aspect of my life.”
.@xMoney_com is now the first @Mastercard issuer in the world running Payment Passkey, built with Mastercard.
For ten years, online checkout got faster almost everywhere, except the part where you prove it’s you. Every new defense against fraud bought safety by spending the buyer’s patience. That patience shows up in abandoned carts.
Passkeys break the trade. Biometric confirmation cuts authentication drop-off by as much as half, clears about 4x faster than waiting on an SMS code, and pushes fraud down roughly 2.5x at the same time.
Safer and quicker, in the same move. That’s rare enough to build around.
And it reaches further than checkout.
The tokenization underneath a passkey is the exact layer agentic payments depend on. For an AI agent to buy something for you, it needs a token standing in for your card, a record of who gave the order, and a boundary it can’t step past. Passkeys answer the first question. Tokenization answers the second. We have both in production today.
So the same engineering that speeds up a human checkout is what lets a machine complete one safely. We didn’t just fix today’s flow. We laid the track for the buyer that isn’t a person at all.
Every agent that ever checks out will need what we shipped today.
We have been monitoring the market situation closely for a very long time and the moment has come to make the most difficult decision in our history.
It is time to face reality and openly state that Ethereum is dead. We no longer believe in this project.
