there has to be some weird World Cup ticket arb somewhere

like what if buying the round of 16 ticket the US would play in has a better expected return than betting on the US to win on Kalshi or whatever

Day 2 of vibecoding

[Patrick Collison @patrickc]

The @Tempo mainnet launched 93 days ago. Quick summary of the current state:

• Run rate payment volume is around $3 billion. There's a long way to go, but it's cool to see real usage already emerging. (It took Stripe a lot longer than 93 days to get to $3 billion.)

• As a blockchain, we obviously don't know about all the different use-cases. (Please tell us if you're doing something cool with Tempo!) Larger companies using Tempo include @Deel, which is using Tempo to pay out to their vast network of contractors, and @Meta, which is using it via @Link for global payouts. There are a bunch of other large companies working on Tempo integrations that'll be announced soon.

• Internally, developing on Tempo has been fun, and Tempo is now Stripe's default blockchain for new features.

• On the AI side of things, there appear to be around 1,000 active services selling to agents via the Machine Payments Protocol (@mpp). There's a useful directory of available services at https://t.co/fAZ5iA5nZc. 570 unique agents, for example, seem to have purchased from @ExaAILabs, and 332 from @openweather. I don't know how long it'll take for this use-case to become big, but it seems all-but inevitable that it will within a few years.

• Today, @Stripe, @Visa, and @StanChart are running Tempo validators. Validation will become more decentralized over time.

• The Tempo team is building a lot of new protocol functionality. For example, privacy zones, receive policies, and virtual addresses. (Details for all on the Tempo blog: https://t.co/jE7ltNIaj2.) In general, our belief is that there's a lot of functionality to be built at the blockchain level to make higher-level applications easy and performant.

The original thesis behind Tempo was that both AI and stablecoins would stretch blockchains in new ways, with need for privacy, fees denominated/payable in stablecoins, batch transactions, microtransactions, faster confirmations, and so forth. Overall, this still seems like the right set of bets, and the agentic stuff is happening somewhat faster than I was expecting. "1M stablecoin TPS, with the vast majority from agents" still seems like the right north star.

Is there an onramp/offramp service for stocks? Like a broker I can actually send my offchain stocks to get onchain equities?
