payments

It's somewhat incredible to me that we still don't have simple, free, crypto native payment request widgets that you can just embed into your app or website

Everything I've explored so far is over engineered

Do you think the absence is because of overengineering?
To me the main reason seems more around the rejection of crypto by big tech, browsers and merchants. Some adopted crypto payments then took them away (Steam, Stripe, OC etc). IMO if the market demanded a simpler widget, it would exist. So demand may just be gone.

I think there's demand, there just isn't a clear business model that can support a super simple standalone checkout widget product

Likely why Base now offers it for free (see checkout)
