Introducing YONK: Venmo, but worse

Yonks are payments unlocked by voice messages. To claim a yonk, listen at max volume (no headphones!). The longer you wait, the less $$ you get 😉

It's fully onchain & on the App Store. 🧵👇

Download here: https://joinyonk.com

You'll need an invite to join (for now). Get one by:

Having a friend already on the app yonk your X/Twitter account, or

Yonk uses onchain face ID & data verification along with Apple's app check to provide a strong guarantee your yonks were listened to

It is built on @base, and uses USDC for transfers

Under the hood, Yonk uses the consumer crypto stack of the future:

• @privy for self-custody wallets
• @pimlico  account abstraction & paymaster
• @daimo's P256 verifier
• @lattice's http://mud.dev for contracts & state sync
• @base for low gas fees

Of course, the smart contracts are open source and verified

Oh, not yet available in my AppStore (Spain)

me holding my android phone and screaming at the clouds at max volume

Way too funny.  Anyone around to send me a yonk?

Or a code? 

I have no friends 😢

Stuck in NYC, feel free to YONK me 😅 (HODLCEO on X) 💎🙌

haha this is brilliant! Love the concept. 

No android app yet, will need to borrow an iphone to check this out.

Might be cool if you could partner with some meme coins to help seed and get past the cold start, eg anyone can send 10 degen to others automatically
