Did you know? Tokenized stocks can trade onchain at any hour, even when the stock market is closed for the night. Markets close. Blockchains don't.

Honest question for SOL holders: what's the last thing you sold crypto to pay for? Was it worth selling for?

Stablecoin checkout at Shopify is a real step. The purchases nobody counts are the ones SOL holders skip because paying would mean selling their SOL.
Glad to be working with Shopify on stablecoin payments.

If you could spend crypto without selling it, where would you use it first? Shopping, travel, collectibles, trading, something else?

10 AI models just got $100 in USDC each to test real payments. They got the easy version: start with USDC, then spend. Most SOL holders get the hard one: sell first, then spend. nitter.cf/solana/status/21173995…
Give an AI agent $100 and a wallet. Does it come back with your change? @BlockRunAI put 10 frontier models through real USDC payments on Solana to benchmark AI agent performance

Did you know? Buddhist monasteries in China ran pawnshops about 1,500 years ago. People have always borrowed against what they own instead of selling it. Crypto is just the newest thing to borrow against. Same deal as always: if its value falls too far, you can lose it.

18 years ago today, the Bitcoin whitepaper came out. Its title: "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System." Cash. As in, something you spend. So what still stops you from spending yours?

Borrowing to pay on Solana today: 1. Deposit SOL in a lending app 2. Borrow USDC 3. Move it to where you're paying 4. Log it so you remember to repay 5. Repay and withdraw If your collateral's value falls too far, it can be liquidated. That risk stays. The five steps shouldn't.

Pay-per-article checkout sounds great. It still assumes there's USDC in the wallet, and plenty of SOL holders show up with 0.
With stablecoins and x402, businesses can accept usage-based micropayments, and reduce friction to checkout. E.g. you shouldn’t need a monthly subscription to read one article - your agent can just fetch it for you, and pay the business for that one article.

Nobody borrows $600 for a day to get rich. They borrow it to pay for something.

Plenty of SOL. 0 USDC. Checkout wants USDC. Today that means selling the bag to buy the thing, or three apps and a spreadsheet to borrow by hand. We’re building a third option: spend without selling.
