@CapitalGaruda Its called a big gym session in the morning - your body wont allow you to eat shit for the rest of the day, it will only want real nutrients

@Rubyto I’m excited to see how your iterations evolve. HNY @Rubyto

The thing i’m most pumped about is being able to click “view on explorer” and get linked out to Fuels block explorer and see exactly what happened.

The tx hash signed is an evm style tx hash, this gets linked out to the actual fuel tx hash. All the heavy lifting is handled by predicates that validate the entire transaction envelope.

An small but important piece of ux

[Zap @ZapPayment]

This will soon be possible. Sending native assets on @fuel_network directly from your EVM wallet. Full transaction. On-chain receipt.
No new keys. Bring your wallet.

[Zap @ZapPayment]

Things are about to get much nicer for MetaMask users on @fuel_network. Adding native assets directly to your wallet 🦊

Been pretty quiet on socials lately. Some updates 🧵

First up, whats going on with Zap - we have been in the cave tweaking deployment, ironing kinks and polishing some of the finer points like transaction hashs linking back to the fuel explorer. Some may say this is wasted time, but honestly, Zap is about UX. Some other points that are not critical UX we will be rolling out as updates. Things will be happening, changes are coming. Targeting December. Im very excited.

Life - its been a crazy last four months. A lot of things have been on my mind. Sustainable defi, future outlook. What products are actually worth building and building right. What products add value and have original thought (or at least move the dial). I see DeFi going through an interesting meta right now where privacy has taken the main stage again. But there is still a host of products (or marketing) adding only bolt ons, to otherwise “old tech”. Thats not to shit on anyones work. The reality is, solving difficult problems is hard, time consuming and resource intensive. Most dont want to do it, and the only people that loose out is the users, having to accept average.

Im lucky to be surrounded by people that give a shit about a better experience in defi. Have been supported by people that have real conviction to try for better.

Im optimistic and excited about the future.

What does privacy mean to 🫵 ?

A pseudonym.
Zero visibility on your data.
Zero visibility on your money & assets.

How difficult should privacy be to achieve before it becomes your standard ?

@rubyto @Dudescrypto06 @fuel_network @Pumps_fuel @ignitionwars @MicrochainDLM @ReactorDEX @bakosafe @garagedotzone @swaylend @TheRigLST @PY_rocks @ZapPayment Can second this. MM supported, Rainbow, Rabi geting tested. Drop your EVM address @Dudescrypto06 and ill add you to the whitelist when we hit testnet (very soon).

[Antony @antonyburrows_]

@rubyto Crypto paymnets is 100% one of the best PMFs for blockchain tech. The question is whether the products that are build will be profited and owned by the few or the profits will be used sustainably for the betterment of the many

[Antony @antonyburrows_]

@naz3eh Excellent call 🔥

[Zap @ZapPayment]

Your existing wallet doesn't need to learn new tricks. Zap bridges the gap between what you know and where crypto is going, same keys, 100x better experience.

Massive! Cant wait to re-live to our conversation. I had an amazing time on the pod

[Stateless Podcast @stateless_pod]

Episode 2 of Stateless is here.

Featuring @antonyburrows_, founder of @ZapPayment .

Zap is building the rails for everyday crypto payments on @fuel_network, infrastructure that has to be invisible and reliable at the core, yet simple enough for anyone to use.

We talked about the origins of the idea, what it feels like to be a founder pre-launch, the weight of coordinating a team and a budget, and how you build community around something deeply technical.

Payy: proudly calling out “worse tech” while marketing privacy, then KYC-ing users to spend their own assets via Visa.

Let me help you with the rebrand. You’re welcome ✨

[Payy @payy_link]

imitators now launching with worse vibes and worse tech 😂

@rubyto Me too! I have the “like” and my personal favourite “you know” bingo card out for when the ep drops

[Antony @antonyburrows_]

@0xNairolf real adoption is when your friends / parents use crypto apps that actually improve their life —> and they dont even realise they are using blockchain, but get all the benefits like true ownership and privacy

[Antony @antonyburrows_]

In Aussie there is a phrase we use for when things are considered done, or under control. Anyone want to guess what it is?

[Zap @ZapPayment]

Connecting to @fuel_network with Zap couldn't be easier.

[Antony @antonyburrows_]

Turn down the volume on time and money. Now dry run the problem. You’ll solve it smarter.
