how it started         /         how it's going

6.5 months start to finish from when tobi first messaged me saying it was time to bring Shopify onchain and he wanted to build a protocol to our combined team shipping it

insane mode

our collaboration with @Shopify showcases the power of smart contracts, and the expressivity of the @ethereum EVM in particular.

key verbs like Authorize, Capture, Charge, Void, Reclaim, and Refund are expressed as tight units of business logic in Solidity code. https://t.co/uZBom9PArp

The AuthCaptureEscrow contract is key to the Commerce Payments Protocols; It mimics credit card payments.

- Authorization places a temp hold on buyer funds
- Capture distributes payment to the merchant

Now anybody can build onchain payment flows without a centralized processor. https://t.co/NZxDB5BShf

Build on Base

Nice, big partners take time. Well done man!
