Nouns

i’m building drift.money with @mctflurry—a stablecoin-native SoftPOS designed for IRL commerce. our biggest challenge? distribution: finding shops and merchants willing to accept stablecoins

at Devcon, i met @carlosjmelgar, and as we discussed what we’re building, it became clear how aligned Drift is with the /nouns mission to onboard more people into crypto

today, we brainstormed ways to make Drift more Nounish. one idea: gamify the experience. as customers pay with Drift, their unique Noun character evolves, unlocking new perks and discounts over time—making payments fun, engaging, and rewarding

this not only helps merchants build loyalty and drive repeat business but also incentivizes customers to adopt this new payment method

would love to hear your thoughts, how can we make this even better?

Rome, Metropolitan City of Rome Capital, Italy

I think the key is to start with places that are frequented by crypto people so that they can start using it as they already understand it. In Toronto there are a couple of cafes like that which has a large "tech" audience. Would be nice to start there!

Lisbon

Living /moai ideals. Learning about web3, building in web3. Also founded 500px long time ago. FID #1482

Yeah, there is an area around King/Spadina area, which is a tech hub (lots of big and small tech companies from Mozilla to Jobber to Shopify to Wealthsimple). Some of the shops around are Neo coffee, De Mello, Quantum, Thor. Most of them are independent and are small chains (2-4 locations in Toronto).

yeah 100% that’s why we’re targeting /lisbon initially

would you mind though introducing me or sharing more details about these cafes in Toronto?
