We’ve been acquired by @ConsenSys to join @infura_io!
We’re super excited to be joining the Infura team, and look forward to incorporating our powerful relaying features into the Infura development suite to improve the transaction experience for developers.
Two awesome announcements today to help devs optimize their gas usage
1⃣We’ve acquired @anydotcrypto, welcoming the brilliantly talented @yahgwai + @paddypisa to our team!
2⃣The alpha release of Infura Transactions is live on Rinkeby & ready for testing! https://t.co/r1n2NdhTJl
We received ~$4k on Gitcoin Grants during the acquisition talks and we plan to donate it back to the matching pool :)
You are all amazing. We hope it'll help another team & grow the eco-system. It is hard not to love the energy from everyone 🚀☘️❤️

We have received donations from ~64 contributors on Gitcoin for any.sender!
I didn't advertise the Gitcoin grant, so I'm not completely sure how people found it, but we are super appreciative for the unexpected donations!
It helps a lot!
@gutomartino@evan_van_ness We have a user-facing example here:
https://t.co/PvgRnlfbeh
For whenever you run out of ETH, you can swap DAI to ETH.
Working on something now to making it more user-facing :)
1. Did you trade away all your Eth, and now have none left to pay for gas?
https://t.co/rMcnQFeKLB allows you to swap some Dai into Eth, it'll pay the initial gas costs for you then refund itself from the swap.
Are you sick of having DAI but no ETH?

Our demo lets any.sender pay for the transaction fee upfront and then use the swapped ETH to refund it.
Give it a whirl and see for yourself what it is like to use a dedicated relayer for sending transactions.
Fast rate is 110 gwei right now.
Someone is sending transactions via any.sender right now and paying 75 gwei.
Literally 32% cheaper for similar confirmation time.
I dunno what else to say except that most users are being ripped off atm on network fees.
@greweb@moo9000@pedrouid@gregthegreek@metamask_io@argentHQ Wallets add ~26k gas over per transaction and deploying an initial wallet contract can be cheap (67k gas):

Taking a payment is tricky. DAI payments add ~30k gas if it is paid on a per-transaction basis.
For any.sender, we accept a prepayment in ETH
