    payments.org is a great way to learn more about the use cases that are driving growth in stablecoin based payments on Solana. While you are there, touch and feel the blockchain by sending a real payment trxn - with the same ease as sending an email.

    7 years ago I quit working in payments and vowed to never return. Today, I’m part of a team that just announced Solana Pay, the beginning of a revolution in payments. What the heck happened? A 🧵…

    I’m really excited to announce that @tj_littlejohn, cofounder of mtnPay, will be joining Solana Labs to lead payments engineering. We’re pumped to have TJ continue to build at the protocol and platform level with the goal of enabling our ecosystem partners...

    "Yeah, but I can already use Apple Pay and it's so easy" Let's talk about why this is fundamentally different.... This is a "Watson come here I need you" moment. A radical transformation on how payments will run. Quick 🧵

    8/ What do offers, loyalty and NFTs look like on-chain when a merchant has a p2p connection with their customer with literally no intermediaries? Let’s find out. I think the technical term is…LFG!

    I joined the Solana ecosystem excited for what was possible in payments with a truly scalable blockchain. Super excited that @Visa shares my excitement about this as well and couldn't be more thrilled about future payments innovation on @Solana

    Bullish on @solanapay being the future infra for commerce because trxn finality has to be near instant. IRL merchants need rapid confirmations & in e-comm millisec delays increase cart abandonment. Circle's APIs use the following confirmation numbers for each supported chain

    💜Want @solana? Flexa offers Solana Pay out of the box, so you can start accepting $SOL and USD Coin payments from the growing ecosystem of Solana wallets, all without any extra configuration.

    5/ Solana Pay is transformational - a decentralized permissionless merchant payment platform. A merchant can connect with their consumer in a p2p fashion, settle funds instantly with processing costs that are measured in fractions of a penny
    docs.solanapay.com
    Solana Pay | Solana Pay Docs
    Solana Pay is a standard protocol and set of reference implementations that enable developers to incorporate decentralized payments into their apps and services.

    6/ It is important to note this is not about enabling new cryptocurrencies like BTC or SOL for payments. There are solutions for that already. This is about a new set of payment rails that will enable US digital dollars such as USDC at the point of sale

    1/ Payments is one of the hardest use cases to innovate in, given regulation, entrenched networks, and consumer behaviors. At Google we tried hard to make a dent but the challenge we had (along with every other payment startup)...
