In the US (the most valuable fiat-to-crypto market), onramp is about fraud. 

Specifically:

1. Stolen payment method fraud
2. "Friendly" regret-based (i.e. price goes down) fraud

It's different than e-commerce fraud since doesn't require a physical shipping address (you can use spoofed KYC and get the good you're purchasing if it's crypto).

You're also delivering the asset instantly and in a non-reversible way.

And then you have a chargeback risk 30+ days later.

It's a problem that requires a specific consumer data set and proprietary machine-learning model.

Can Stripe build one here? Yes. Does that happen quickly? No.

stripe just assembled the first stack that circumvents CEXes entirely

before embedded wallets, apps were at the mercy of external wallets

privy flipped the model. they empowered apps to own the relationship with users

but CEXes still provided the best onramp, and so the

"Diet Windows95"

This piece was super fun to make; I'm a huge fan of Microsoft aesthetic and wanted to honor it in this iteration. I made sure to research each element and the visual history of Window95 to create this as authentically as possible. Made on ASUS Zenbook S16.

@stevedv.eth I appreciate you for dueling, I have a lot of respect for you, so this is very meaningful. I know you aren't a huge fan of soda or windows, but you did great & are a huge part of why this was so fun!

@blankspace thank you for consistently bringing taste to the timeline and hosting this duel!

how it was made: This was made fully using Adobe illustrator+photoshop. lmk if any of you would be interested in a workflow / behind the scenes video!

I regret some of my casts about @dwr.eth. They went too far.

We had a great relationship and I wish him well — very well, actually.

Mini Apps

in the latest Mini App SDK quickAuth is moved out of experimental into its own module `sdk.quickAuth`  with two fns:
- getToken
- fetch (wrapper around the Fetch API that automatically adds a Quick Auth session token in a header)

session tokens are automatically stored in memory and returned when present and not expired so devs are no longer required to do this—just call `getToken` whenever you want to access it or even easier just `fetch`

docs got expanded quite a bit with three new examples:
- make authenticated requests (fetch)
- get a token directly (getToken)
- validating the token on the server

lastly there's now a reference hono backend implementation that shows validating a session token in middleware that is deployable on cloudflare (link in next cast)

I'm incredibly happy to release this artwork. I really enjoyed working on it and I'm so proud of the outcome. 
Thank you @blockheim and @dwr.eth for the opportunity and for trusting me with this.

happy sailing ⛵
