Watch out Li.Fi hacked, don't use any li.fi product for now and theres a fake revoke website going around that drains your wallet. Another reason why infinite approval amounts are risky https://x.com/lifiprotocol/status/1813207291778215955

See you all in EthCC! Any payment nerds going?

The next adoption wave for on-chain payments is not more users, but more PSPs bringing products to market. However, their journey is one filled with challenges and opportunities. I wrote my learnings from speaking with many amazing teams working in the space and sharing them here:

Yes, customer pays with a card and merchant gets stablecoins in the back, if so thats super cool where can I see / read more about this?

Does anyone have a solution for accepting card payment on the payer side that settles in a stablecoin for the merchant?

Stripe + Base. Great to see Stripe leading the pack here as a traditional PSP innovating in the right direction. The next adoption wave for onchain payments is not just more people, but practical PSPs bringing solutions across the world for their markets. Congrats @jessepollak!

100% agree, there are many talented designers using their best work to drive people's addiction to apps funded by giant corps in the business of selling your attention.

How to ship fast as a small company looking for product-market fit

1. Avoid side quests. If you aren't coding, selling or talking to users, it's a side quest. 

2. Eliminate process. Don't cargo cult your team into sprint planning, offsites or recurring 1:1s. Gather once a day, talk about what to ship and ship it.  

3. Hire people who love to ship fast all the time. Most people cannot do this correctly or do not enjoy doing it. 

4. Don't hire people who can't ship. It's temping to get an ea, bd rep or community manager to offload work. This usually just creates more work for you. 

5. Have a simple and fast tech stack. A new hire should be able to write a feature in a day and deploy it to users in 30 minutes.

100% - and don't try to copy paste what you learned at Google here, that works for big teams way past PMF. And every new team member means you have a new team, evolve your way of working to match the new setup, hire people who know what good is and can bring it early into your team culture
