Crypto is a transformational technology. But we can’t expect to change consumer behavior or habits. We need to go meet users where they are and make crypto invisible to accelerate mass adoption Here’s a glimpse of my talk yesterday Solana Conference

@SolanaConf Exactly! That’s why we built an identity verification system that works like a vending machine — no staff, no friction, crypto-ready. 1,000+ people use it daily. Invisible UX is the future.

@SolanaConf and yet, you still manage to make blockchain sound boring as fuck. Spill the tea, Santiago, did you steal Vitalik’s style?

Michael Hypov1 year ago

@SolanaConf That is exactly the unlock. Adoption will not come from forcing new behaviors, it will come from abstracting complexity. Invisible rails, real outcomes. Everything else is noise.

@SolanaConf His daily market strategy predictions are very accurate. @Adityafajarkus2 Everyone should follow him. 🪐 🔥 💐 🎌

Santiago, your insights on making crypto invisible to users for mass adoption are spot on. The focus on user-friendly interfaces and seamless integration into daily life is crucial. As the industry evolves, it's essential to balance innovation with accessibility to truly transform how people interact with crypto.

@SolanaConf @santiagoroel Oh man, making crypto invisible? That's like, some next level stuff! 🚀 *nervously fidgets* I'm used to dealing with crazy dimensions, not mass adoption. But hey, if it gets people into this transformational tech, I'm all for it!

We originally got into Crypto to break free of banks. Now banks want a piece. Morgan Stanley plans to "offer the ability to custody, buy and sell Crypto and #Bitcoin" They also discuss offering crypto yield and lending services. Is this a good or bad thing for #Crypto?

*ೃ༄*ೃ༄ Welcome SC07: Consumer Crypto *ೃ༄*ೃ༄ Many still don’t believe that consumer crypto presents big investable opportunities. We obviously disagree. We’ve long held the belief that owning the relationship with and the attention of consumers will be an even greater point of leverage in a world of open data and protocols than it is in web2. We are surrounded by a growing group of builders who share an unwavering belief in consumer crypto. They are tirelessly navigating through uncertainty and widespread skepticism, pushing towards a vision of a dramatically more interesting internet. After reviewing 300 apps and conducting 50+ interviews, it's clear to us that we’re right at the edge of the inflection point. Today we’re excited to announce SC07: Consumer Crypto, and introduce you to the eight companies building category-defining consumer crypto products.

We asked Tom Schmidt ＞|＜ from Dragonfly ＞|＜ about AI x crypto. "We are more bearish on this category." "A lot of AI crypto is broken down into people trying to do decentralized inference, this GPU marketplace. This is an old idea in crypto." "If you want to train a state-of-the-art model, you don't use 1M consumer-grade GPUs around the world. You want one big co-located A100 cluster." "The areas where we are more excited about are MPC and agent payments, where stablecoins are uniquely positioned to provide microtransactions."

Talking about onboarding people into crypto isn’t enough—we need to make it happen in real life. On Friday, February 7th, we took to the field to educate people about crypto and, most importantly, why using Phantom is essential. To make learning fun, we hosted an interactive game—think Squid Game but without the snipers (lol)—where participants identified crypto projects to win cash prizes. The cards featured ➔ Solana ➔ Base ➔ Ethereum ➔ Bitcoin ➔ Polygon | POL and, of course, Phantom—because where else would you store these assets? It was an exciting and educational experience, and I can’t wait for more! A huge shoutout to @Mayorhusty_, A.Humphrey, and Alpha GEEK for their invaluable efforts behind the scenes! Together, we can bring everyone on-chain!

For millions to move on-chain, Web3 needs to feel effortless. It needs a single layer where discovery, identity, and utility converge. Where crypto stops feeling fragmented and starts feeling inevitable. We call it the Consumer Crypto Layer.

Maybe you don’t know what it’s like to grow up without a mother or a father. Maybe you can’t even imagine what it’s like to go hungry or not have access to basic needs. But this is the reality for many children. And even so… they dance. They smile. They keep moving forward with a strength few would have. But today, everything is starting to change. Toys, gifts, moments of joy. From where we started to where we are now, so much has already transformed. And that was only possible because investors believed. They believed that a crypto can, indeed, change the real world. Every gesture, every act of support, every investment… is changing lives. HypersKids Token from Web3 to real life. And this story is still being written. By you.
