Happy to share a little pet project I've been working on. An archive of all the @FlexaHQ spending videos on X, for the Amp and Flexa community. The spenders. spenders.xyz/
screenshotting this one for the archive. @tradingview technicals on ethereum:0xff20817765cb7f73d4bde2e66e067e58d11095c2 (@ampdotxyz) reading strong buy, first time i've seen that in years 👀 not a call on anything, just a gauge i haven't seen point this way in a long time.
ethereum:0xff20817765cb7f73d4bde2e66e067e58d11095c2 (@ampdotxyz) is a collateral token on Ethereum. It gets locked up to guarantee things that settle later, like payments and credit, and it has been securing payments since 2020. More at amp.xyz.
My first crypto purchase at a register was in 2019, right after Consensus. I paid with ETH for movie tickets and a beer at an AMC theater through Flexa (@flexahq), and it went straight from my wallet to the point of sale. This was before DeFi summer, so most people I told about it had never seen anything like it. Since 2020, ethereum:0xff20817765cb7f73d4bde2e66e067e58d11095c2 has been the collateral behind payments like that one.
That is still the main way it gets used. Crypto wallets use Flexa so their users can pay in stores, and ethereum:0xff20817765cb7f73d4bde2e66e067e58d11095c2 is the collateral behind every Flexa payment. It is also an accepted asset for Anvil (@anvil_xyz) letters of credit, a separate product that uses collateral up front for something that settles later.
On the Flexa side, you can pay at Chipotle, GameStop, Regal, Sheetz, Barnes & Noble, Ulta Beauty, and more. The ethereum:0xff20817765cb7f73d4bde2e66e067e58d11095c2 collateral is what lets those payments go through instantly at the register. If you want to see it in real life, there are videos of people paying at spenders.xyz.
The collateral comes from staking. About 20 billion ethereum:0xff20817765cb7f73d4bde2e66e067e58d11095c2 (as of today) is staked across 20 pools. Each pool backs payments from one app or network, so stakers pick which one they want to support.
The contract was audited before launch by ConsenSys Diligence and Trail of Bits. The code is open source and verified on Etherscan, and there is a public Dune dashboard at dune.com/ampdotxyz/amp-token if you want to look at the numbers yourself.
Anyone can build with ethereum:0xff20817765cb7f73d4bde2e66e067e58d11095c2. Flexa and Anvil are both live today, and any project can use ethereum:0xff20817765cb7f73d4bde2e66e067e58d11095c2 to secure something it settles later. Final (@usefinal) is the next one building on it, with new infrastructure for machines moving money.
I wonder if I can buy this with crypto? 😏

Told myself I wouldn’t buy another gacha because the odds of winning big are not in your favor. But I saw @solflare was doing $69 packs, so I gave it a spin. I’ve done the @Collector_Crypt gacha a total of 3 times and twice I hit 1% cards.

I'm all for boycotting yet another celebrity meme coin
But I find it hilarious that all the people that insider traded all the other ones are speaking up loudest
Can't have it both ways my dudes otherwise it just looks like you're angry you're not getting paid this time
Honored to have been given one of these by @TyrantBroken and @fluffyonchain at the Solana Summer House, you guys are the best!

Been a while since we last jumped on X Spaces to discuss @FlexaHQ and @usefinal. Let’s do it again next week. What do you want to talk about?xitter.cf/i/spaces/1aJbddjdVwRKX…
If only there was a real closed loop payment solution not on Visa or Mastercard rails.. 🤔
Kulipa collapsed. 120k+ cards from 20 b2b clients.
Backed 9M by Flourish and 1kx. Often featured in a16z reports. One of the strongest contenders in stablecoin cards issuance.
Look at their X profile. 3m ago they were highlighting Ready partnership. And now winding down without notice.
No wonder they never answered to our calls during my time at @Haven_Hn_
Self-custody design isn’t optional in this space. It’s the only thing standing between your users and a frozen balance when the something implodes.
