On tip Tuesday why do I have to break flow to swap to usdc? Why can't I select any token I have (or at least ETH /SOL) and it auto swaps?

The new @AcrossProtocol Prime bridging mechanism seems great. Relayers stake a bond to unlock funds immediately instead of waiting on the oracle. But it can also fall back to the previous escrow model so poorer relayers can still compete. https://www.paradigm.xyz/2025/05/across-prime

I've met 100+ crypto startups this year. The most common mistake I've seen is doing way too much. Focus on being great at one thing and outsource the rest. There are so many great infra/middleware companies in crypto that want builders. They cost little and will save so much engineering time. Remember - composability is crypto's superpower. My favorite startup type of late has been Infinex style, aggregating many existing products and writing the glue code + focusing on amazing UX. Would love to see more startups like this.
