100% we're building this seamless experience at Meso. If you're based in the US you can try us today in Phantom or https://meso.cash Expecting to be live internationally later this year.

I don't know exactly how Zora built theirs but this isn't something you could open source. To build it you'd need to have payment/banking vendors and also the ability to fund a 3-5 day float balance (the fiat won't hit the biz bank account for 3-5 days)

Biggest concern I have with the passkey as the actual wallet is cross device. Apple mostly solves this, but there are still edge cases which could result in users totally losing their wallet. In general I think it's better for the passkey to be a signer on a smart wallet or via MPC.

Stripe leaning into crypto is good to see, but their on-ramp isn't great. High fees, over-tuned risk controls, and their bank linking product is still far behind Plaid. Doing on-ramping well is all about doing risk well. Stripe's core products don't involve them handling risk directly and crypto risk is even harder.

That's awful I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. If you're looking for alternatives give us a try: @meso We're focused on low fees and speed with 10-15s processing times for L2s letting you get your crypto in seconds, not minutes. You can try it here and I'd love to hear your feedback: https://meso.cash

Not integrated with DEGEN yet, but you can on-ramp USDC/ETH to ARB or OP in seconds using @meso to bridge over! Try it out at https://meso.cash I'd love to hear what you think.

Lmk if you want any help with this! I'm building an on-ramp (@meso) and recently compiled a bunch of info on global on-ramp providers. Happy to share the findings with you.

This is exactly why we're building an SDK that can easily integrate with many chains, including L2s @meso! Whatever the chain, next-gen users want to onboard on, Meso provides low fees and a fast, seamless UX.

The ultimate guide to writing efficient queries on Dune is out. If you are an on-chain data analyst, this can more than 10x your output. Major kudos to @boxer for this magnum opus. https://docs.dune.com/query-engine/writing-efficient-queries

We're building a platform to make it easy for devs to build on/off-ramps in their own app without any overhead. Compared to existing options like Moonpay we have much lower fees (1.5%), simpler UX, and a flexible integration: @meso

We're working on this problem: @meso - lowest fee by far, KYC with just the last four of SSN, and seamless UX.

If you're looking for fiat onramps, we're building the most developer-friendly and flexible platform: @meso - low fees, very fast, and great UX. I'd love to get your feedback!

Here’s why I think on ramps haven’t seen adoption: * poor UX: complex kyc, too many steps, and very slow (multiple minutes) * high fees: 3-4% and take a 3% spread, if not higher. * not integrated into the core UI flows making them undiscovered I’m working to solve all these problems: https://meso.network

On ramp use is definitely growing but agree that the vast majority of users are using CEXs. https://dune.com/meso_team/onramp-providers
