Why We Ship: @useDecal
After building products for billions at Google and launching Solana Pay in a cafe in SF, @joshfried decided to go build the merchant product the ecosystem was missing.
Today we're launching Decal Treasury.
Your idle cash now earns automatically — and that yield funds a loyalty program that pays for itself.
One toggle. New revenue. Zero work.
Here's the whole idea 🧵
Merchants lose up to 3.5% per card swipe and wait days to settle
@useDecal fixes both. Their stablecoin payments rail drops into merchant's existing point-of-sale systems -- with $4.1M processed already ✴️

My personal goal at @useDecal is to empower and enable Main St merchants, the small businesses of the world you visit and actually spend money at in your life, to gain the wonderful benefits of stablecoins.
Crypto-native people have long been told that "you can spend your stablecoins anywhere". Well we are actually pushing forward on that idea.
How many other companies out there are actually building to enable REAL mainstream stablecoin commerce for merchants? Not degens, perps, or bank-to-bank efficiencies. Actual businesses that people visit and spend their money at. Those are the places that I am most excited about supporting and working with.
This is my north star.
I am so insanely bullish on @joshfried and @nickfrosty@useDecal is bringing real liquidity and value to the small (+ large) businesses fueling real communities. Right team, product, & time to change the game
PSA: the soft serve at The Barb Shop (pictured) is on another level🍦
SF friends: want to pay with stables irl?
@useDecal just turned on stablecoin payments via Square at The Barb Shop (barber + soft serve) in Bernal Heights 🍦
11am – 4:30pm PST today: 20% off if you pay with any stables (h/t @joshfried)
📍605 Cortland Ave
Decal is quietly becoming the easiest way to spend and send stablecoins 🪙
→ 5,200 users
→ 34,000+ transactions
→ $3.5M+ in volume
We launched first on @solanamobile, so it only makes sense to stake our entire 750k SKR, right?
Or maybe we should give some away? 👀
Pretty sure @useDecal and @nickfrosty@joshfried are going to lead the way in getting physical merchants to adopt stablecoins. Mega bullish on their product and strategy.
Fintech innovation is accelerating on @solana
