1/ Introducing Solana Pay, a decentralized, secure, and open-source payments protocol for the next generation of merchant payments 💸
#SolanaPay
solana.com/news/solana-pa…
2/ Launching today, Solana Pay makes it easy for merchants worldwide to accept digital dollars like $USDC, and any other #Solana SPL Token, for a fraction of a penny and without any intermediaries
3/ The Solana Pay spec lets merchants generate transaction requests with relevant metadata. Users can approve this transaction via their web wallets, or scan a custom-generated QR code – now supported in @phantom, @slope_finance, and @ftx_app.
4/ Solana Pay enables the first direct connection between merchants and customers via a decentralized payment gateway; this is a new type of payment rail ready to build on today, allowing users to spend crypto without relying on a centralized entity.
5/ Accepting USDC and other digital assets lets merchants access the benefits of the Solana ecosystem: DeFi yield opportunities, zero payment fraud liability, instant settlement, and ownership of the customer relationship
6/ An open call to come build on Solana Pay;

1/ Is Solana like your phone? A thread inspired by @KyleSamani on @bizbreakdowns solana.com/news/solana-ne…
2/ Your phone has a heat problem. Every phone does. The clock speed of your processor has a thermal limit — and yet phones keep getting faster. How?
3/ One huge way is parallelization — modern graphics cards are massively parallel, meaning they can run many processes at the same time.

That’s exactly what Solana does.
