Wanted to tip some farcasters I had great debates with last week - sharing my experience (as a crypto savvy user) bc it was still so subpar

1. Gas issue - didn’t have ETH on Base. Plenty of USDC, disappointing I couldn’t use that 

2. Went to swap some USDC to ETH. $5 USDC -> $3 ETH (see screenshot). This feels absurd 

3. Looking at the screenshot now: I think it would have been ETH on Ethereum (not Base, which is what I needed). Realizing this in real-time as I write this post. Experience of selecting an asset to receive was very clunky; feels like it should have been far more simple

I thought @pirosb3 recently launched paying gas in the same token

New feature: Gasless mini app interactions ✨

Warplet now enables mini-app transactions even without sufficient ETH

For developers: charge in ETH knowing the app will automatically swap for it if needed. Plus, users low on gas will get a $1 auto-swap to complete transactions

Demo #1 - minting topi from @azflin with my USDC

Was about to say this - warplet should now be gasless in terms of eth

Is this only for mini app txs?

@alanadlevin I’m sorry to hear about the experience. We need to improve that UX.

If you select ETH on Base (performing a same chain swap), it would have done that without having to spend gas. It’s on us to help you find the right asset/chain better.

I’ll follow up with you today to gather some more feedback
