Incentivizing users with realtime Bitcoin rewards has never been possible like this until now without custody. Great for card issuers (earn BTC at every tap), game developers, and so much more. Here's a little fun demo the team built using @Lightspark Grid and Spark wallets.

I felt bored and vibe-coded a neobank in a week. The best part? You don’t even realize it runs entirely on crypto rails under the hood. Main functionalities: - On/off-ramp fiat to stables via BridgeXYZ - Send, receive, and request stablecoin payments on Base - Deploy funds to selected blue-chip DeFi protocols - Get a free Gnosis Pay crypto debit card All of this is powered by account abstraction and non-custodial wallets. Users receive a Privy wallet upon registration and never have to worry about signing transactions or approvals. Transactions are sponsored and batched via EIP-7702, so no separate token approvals are required either. In a nutshell: one-click access to stablecoin transactions sent directly to users via email, plus seamless entry into DeFi. Tech stack: - BridgeXYZ – on/off-ramp fiat to stables - Privy – non-custodial wallets - EIP-7702 – transaction batching and sponsoring - iOS app built with React Native - LIFI API – swapping between USDC and EURC - Resend – email notifications - DeFi protocols: Aave, Morpho, Compound, and YO - Gnosis Pay API – virtual crypto debit cards - NodeJs Backend Inspired by Alliance's request for startups. If you want to check it out, let me know so I can add you to TestFlight.

Concept of Self-Custody Wallets Wallets don’t “store” assets; they control access to on-chain addresses. When users hold their own private keys, they have full control over their assets. Emphasizes the importance of safeguarding the recovery phrase. Binance Wallet Feature Overview Supports multi-chain asset management (e.g., BSC, ETH). Built-in DApp browser allows direct interaction with decentralized applications. Offers one-click connection features, lowering the barrier for beginners. Promotion of Decentralization Ideals “On-chain freedom” means users don’t rely on centralized entities and can manage their assets freely and securely. CZ uses the metaphor “gateway to the chain” to describe the wallet as the entry point into the blockchain world. Everyday Language Makes the Content More Accessible The setting at home creates a natural and relaxed conversation, making technical concepts easier to understand. The humorous tone adds friendliness and relatability, making the message easier to share and engage with.

We heard you loud and clear, F* the Snipers! It’s time to take Arena launches to the next level with our newest feature releasing this week. Introducing the Pro Launch 🚀 Instead of having your launch sniped by anonymous wallets, we’re offering a custom Whitelist solution. Users can select who can participate in their token launch for a specific period of time. Choose users by badges or upload a CSV with different wallets. Next, choose how long the whitelist period will last. During this period, only the users you’ve identified will be able to purchase the token. As soon as the whitelist period ends, the trading is open to the public. Also, you can now schedule a token launch in advance with a countdown to get the hype going! Soon we will be offering dynamic badges for tokens as an additional phase. By whitelisting these dynamic badge holders to new launches, we are adding incentives for people holding tokens and growing their communities (access to new hot launches). The Arena is where digital identity and social reputation meet financial speculation and monetization. The future is here ⚔️

Possibly the biggest change in Microsoft Teams history? Teams without the Teams? Public preview in November to desktop, mobile, iOS, and Android. Here is what you need to know: 🟣 Microsoft is introducing a new combined chat and channels experience. Meaning chat and teams/channels will show up under the "Chat" sidebar icon. No more dedicated Teams sidebar button. 🟣 Teams and Channels will have their own section in chat. 🟣 Group your chats and/or channels however best works for you with favourites and custom sections (up to 50 sections and 50 items per section) 🟣 “Unread,” “Chat,” “Channels,” “Meetings,” and “Muted” Filters 🟣 New message can initiate a new chat or new channel post 🟣 New Mention view gathers all your mentions into a single interactive list. 🟣 At launch, a self-service, guided onboarding will help users discover the new experience and configure it to their preferences (on or off) 🟣 Users who prefer to keep chat and channels separate can easily do so during the onboarding process or at any time later. So far, it looks like there are no IT/tenant-level override controls. This experience change is targeted at getting more users using teams/channels. Most Teams users live in "chats", not teams/channels. There will undoubtedly be some pushback from users who use teams/channels well and like having the mental separation of teams/channels vs chats. I've been fortunate to be using it for a while, and I'm personally a big fan; my use of the correct channels has gone way up, and now I can find them all in one place in the app, particularly on mobile. I'm now much more likely to see channel conversations I need to see. What do you think? #MicrosoftTeams #Microsoft365

I’M DROPPING EVERYTHING AND GOING ALL-IN ON CLAUDE Just asked him to: “Look for mispriced Polymarket markets to profit from arbitrage, and spot wallets that copy these trades” Turned $600 into $10K in one 2 day Monitored ~1k+ wallets I looked at the wallets that he scans and was shocked, here is one of them: $120 → $1.4M 1,947 trades. Win rate 55%. I just realized that there are many arbitrage bots that I can't beat without code knowledge But I can find them and copy So Claude created a monitoring terminal and copytraded found wallets using Ares copytrading. It’s not a script and not even the bot, it’s an AI agent that automatically adds top wallets to the leaderboard, and you can simply start copying them and earning. Nothing complicated: - choose a trader - choose PRIORITY MODE (the fastest bot for copytrading) - press the start button That’s all you need to consistently earn. If you’re curious about how to write your own bot, I will send you a step-by-step guide on how to create your bot from scratch. I’ve already helped more than a dozen people achieve stable income. I don’t promise huge sums, I promise stability. Just: 1. Comment the word ‘CLAUDE’ 2. Like and Retweet this post 3. Follow me Marry Evan (so that I can message you)

vPay offshore accounts and physical cards have been getting field-tested IRL for a while now, and we’ll open them to the public as soon as we’re fully confident in the UX. But before offshore accounts go public, I want to address a few points: Some might point out that - vPay isn’t the first crypto card - vPay doesn’t have the lowest fees - So why choose vPay instead of the Coinbase 🛡️ Card or MetaMask 🦊 Card or KAST or or Tria, or any of the other big names? Now to address: Privacy | The biggest differentiator that sets vPay completely apart is Private Banking. The majority of the crypto card providers on the market use Rain infra. Even if you’ve never heard of them, that's what your favorite "NeoBank" uses. And due to their legal jurisdictions, they will report your finances to authorities since they're CRS and FACTA compliant. We are not. As an OmniBank, we work with different banking partners, and although KYC is required to use our services, our offshore banks are non-CRS and non-FACTA. Tax reporting is the responsibility and choice of the user. Offshore Accounts vs Physical Cards | I've tried to highlight this a few times so far. vPay has 3 offerings on the banking side of things. Virtual cards - live now. Physical cards - coming Q1 2026. The first two are similar to what everyone else on the market offers. The offshore accounts are not. which are coming this week. They allow unlimited spending, ATM withdrawals, and international SWIFT transfers, which very few “Neobanks” provide. Offshore accounts are coming this week. Self-Custody | We're not 100% non-custodial yet, as that is near impossible at the moment but it's something we're working towards. And we try to keep the users' self-custodial wallets in the loop as much as possible for maximum control. Those who have tried the vPay app know that almost every move asks for permission from their wallet, and we always encourage users to keep their funds in their non-custodial wallets until the very last moment, since our top-ups usually only take seconds to a minute to process. Fees | All of the card providers mentioned above either raised millions from VCs or in presales or have a huge org backing them. We have neither. vPay was self-funded and community-owned since day 1, launched under Virtuals Protocol Genesis V1 launch model, an objectively bad launch model and hugely unfavorable toward project teams. So even though vPay has been generating revenue and profitable from early on, we do not have the luxury of offering 0% fees yet, since they're mostly a marketing gimmick paid for by millions in VC money and not a sustainable business model for early-stage companies. What we're working towards instead, is true co-ownership of vPay and revenue-share with users. OmniBank vs NeoBank | I’m not a fan of the term “NeoBank.” It implies just a bank, but make it crypto. That’s not vPay. Our goals have always been clear: A) Anything and everything users need to do with their money and assets, both Web2 and Web3, all in one hub. Powered by a constellation of partner agents. The cards and the bank accounts are just the foundation. B) To eventually build independent financial rails for crypto and decouple from the chokehold of Visa/Mastercard. vLink is the first step toward this vision. This turned out to be a rather long tweet, but context matters. Questions and feedback welcome in replies or DMs. See you all with your vPay vCards very soon.

🎙️The Fiat Scam vs. The Bitcoin Flame Ep. 93 with FRANCIS - BULLBITCOIN.COM My guest today is Francis Pouliot, long-time Bitcoin advocate, cypherpunk entrepreneur, and CEO of Bull Bitcoin, Canada’s leading Bitcoin-only exchange. Known for his uncompromising stance on self-custody, privacy, and resistance to state overreach, Francis has been a vocal defender of Bitcoin’s founding ethos for over a decade. He is also a key figure in Bitcoin Jungle, a circular economy in Costa Rica where hundreds of merchants transact daily in Bitcoin. In this episode, Francis shares how his background in Austrian economics and libertarian politics, combined with the wake-up call of COVID, led him to relocate from Canada to Costa Rica. We explore the creation and growth of Bitcoin Jungle, why farmers markets are fertile ground for adoption, and how his “scale versus compromise” framework guides strategic decisions in building Bitcoin infrastructure. Francis opens up about the tension of running a regulated exchange while opposing KYC, his mission to make self-custody as seamless as custodial services, and why Bitcoin’s payments layer is as critical as its store-of-value function. He dismantles the “Bitcoin is hijacked” myth spread by Roger Ver & others, addresses skepticism from the red-pilled community, and explains why barter and cash cannot scale for true financial freedom. → If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

Know This With Full Conviction. In a post-Clarity Act world, Ripple becomes a monetary middleware giant - not the sovereign system itself, but the bridges between: banks → stablecoins → tokenized assets → custody → prime brokerage → global settlement → XRP/XRPL liquidity. Ripple now markets itself as financial infrastructure for payments, custody, stablecoins, and prime brokerage. Ripple Prime is the first global multi-asset prime broker owned by a crypto company, with 3T+ annual clearing and 300+ institutional customers. RLUSD is positioned as a regulated dollar stablecoin backed by cash, Treasuries, and cash equivalents, with NYDFS and DFSA approval. Ripple Custody is explicitly aimed at institutional tokenization, trading, stablecoin, and RWA infrastructure. The Clarity Act matters because it converts today’s regulatory fog into board-defensible adoption logic. The Senate Banking Committee is set to review the Clarity Act on May 14, 2026, with the bill focused on classifying digital assets and establishing regulatory guidelines. Ripple becomes one of the FEW “ready-now” institutional rails for compliant, global value movement. • RLUSD can serve the regulated dollar leg. • Ripple Custody can secure assets. • Ripple Prime can serve institutions. • RippleNet/Ripple Payments can move value. • XRPL can tokenize and settle. • XRP can serve as neutral bridge liquidity where dollar-to-dollar stablecoin rails are insufficient. Ripple makes large portions of correspondent banking, trapped liquidity, slow settlement, fragmented custody, and legacy FX plumbing ECONOMICALLY OBSOLETE where institutions are legally permitted to adopt faster rails. Ripple is today, the 6th largest, non-public company by market cap valuation, in America. And this is before open issues with China, Iran, Ukraine/Russia, Iraq and the Clarity Act are resolved. This is already world-realigning enough, and we still ain’t see nothing, yet. Two words: “Lock in.” America250 Ripple President Donald J. Trump
