1/ Hi Farcaster Fam!

Today, we're proud to announce that Stripe is acquiring Privy.

We couldn’t be more excited.

Privy continues as an independent product – but now we’ll move faster, ship more, and serve you even better, so you can stay focused on your users.

All roads lead to ice cream, and this is no different. 3.5 years ago, I spent a dinner talking the future of identity with @henri and came out the other side excited about Privy, Asta, and what we could build.

Excited to set our sights even higher with Stripe.

Tonight: more ice cream, and then back to work 😊

Keeper of the fabric @privy 🇫🇷 

Working to change how value flows online.

Backend

I think there should be a jest extension that if a service's full test suite averages >10m over a day's worth of builds, the whole testing directory is deleted and you have to start again. Maybe bonus points if it just deletes the code as well. "Oh your service is too complex to test holistically in 10m? Try again..."

We added auth address support to our SIWF flows! Signing a SIWF message from a registered auth address will now resolve to a Farcaster account on Privy!

We're also working on some account management (like auto-linking those auth addresses to your Privy user) to make things even smoother!

FarCon

me and the @urbe-eth crew are all in, no hesitation

we’re thrilled to bring Farcon to our city, and grateful to everyone who voted for rome 🇮🇹

for the past 3 years, we’ve been bootstrapping the italian builders ecosystem from the ground up, and Farcon will only take that to the next level

more soon 🫡

This was the holder and some of the pucks that were printed for @payton 's excellent @privy pay demo! Still sad I never got it to be completely wireless, ended up soldering the wrong pins at the venue and overall just ran out of time

Connecting the onchain and the real world through commerce 🔗

Each Friday, we ship to improve @privy

As part of Farcon, we demo’ed a new tap-to-pay experience that lets users purchase with their Warplet with a simple phone tap. Guide to enable this coming 🔜!

Actual oh shit moment for me, brought to you by @payton just absolutely COOKING

PS - we had a much higher volume of both event registrations and speaker applications than expected; apologies to everyone we couldn't accommodate, we used first come first serve approach in most cases 😢

Going to be talking about the challenges of identity & wallets across apps and how Privy has evolved its thinking through the years and even now!! 🖤

Some bug bounty submissions are like "if your API is actually a swimming pool, then people could swim in it" and you're like hey that's a very good point but it is in fact an API!

Updated to include Central Park! In case you're feeling particularly floral with this weather tomorrow, New York is bloooooming 🌸🌷

If you send me an unwelcome calendar invite as a cold outreach strategy, I will immediately be putting a HEX on you and marking you as spam. Same goes for phone calls. Nothing worse than expecting an important call and instead a British guy is like "Hi, Andrew?"

This fan art is giving the witchy energy I'd expect if @cryptocoven sponsored an NWSL team 🥲

Concrete Jungle

Somebody posted this and I'm kind of obsessed with the different colors? The NRQ stoplight and the Netherlands 123 👌

Warpcast

I will die on the hill that I have no interest in being associated with Twitter, but it apparently affects the visibility of my posts here - any way around this?

I think I'd even prefer some private KYC or something over linking

Spinning up a new project channel at Privy HQ means a Monday @segall ritual

building privy.io, always in pursuit of ice cream, love /urbanism
