Tonight is the first time I’ve had the thought “this subway operator is a bad driver” which I previously did not think was a valid sentence.

RIP to a good one, I feel like he was shaping up to be my favorite of the season :(

Every single restaurant from coffee shops to white tablecloth in the UWS is absolutely mobbed post-marathon except the Chopt and Sweetgreen, which have literally nobody

When I'm cracking my coconut, people aren't even watching me

embeddedwallets

1/ A user onboarded anywhere is a user onboarded everywhere!

Today we're launching a cross-app wallet connector so users can access their embedded wallets in apps that don't use Privy.

This is a big step in our work to bring the benefits of onchain interop to everyone 🌏

Been getting questions on how this works. Under the hood, it was important for us to use tried-and-true systems and not reinvent the wheel as we help users access their embedded wallets through RainbowKit, ConnectKit, and many other connector libraries

privy

1/ Fave friday release from @privy yet: ID tokens! 🧠 

TLDR - no more having to poll the Privy API to get the latest user data. Roundtrip saved, UX improved!

Privy keeps your JWT clean so you don't have to deal with deprecated claims (#futureProof) but it's still great to get back the full user object!

1/ On Fridays we ship for debt or delight ✨

Introducing our new, streamlined transaction UIs!

Designed to highlight key details for users, these UIs also feature responsive loading and error states.

New look! A cleaner UI and some structural changes making it easier to estimate asset changes like ERC-20s, and devs still have the ability to bring their own flair (images, descriptions, etc) to really make the transaction process feel at home
