Okay it's time to talk #SMS crypto/#mobile3 app ideas. You may think there isn't much crypto apps can bring to the table, but you'd be wrong, anon. You've been lulled to sleep with the state of things. I assure you, there is much we couldn't do before or can do better.

1/

First, table steaks: An in-app crypto payments SDK. We NEED this. Think true microtransactions; we're all used to $1 being the smallest purchase price in-app but with @solana there is no reason you couldn't have 5 *cent* transactions. Even 1 cent!

2/

Users may be hesitant to spend $1 on something (even though it's still not alot), but I bet purchasing rates skyrocket when only a few cents! Your SDK could even take a 5% cut of each TX. If the SDK facilitates millions of TX's that could still be a good business model.

3/

Users could pay w/ USDC or any other token. A per-app/platform token perhaps? What if the SDK integrated with defi? Let users deposit collateral & automatically earn interest so some of their microtransactions become essentially free? Now we we're living in a #mobile3 future!

4/

Next idea: A complete replacement of Google Photos/iCloud photo backup. Automatically backup photos on @ArweaveTeam or @GenesysGo's shadow drive. Utilize encryption when saving so users' photos are only viewable by them.

5/

What's interesting about this is that you essentially pay as you go for this storage (shadow drive may be diff), but it's super cheap and essentially unlimited! No more worrying about storage quotas or paying a monthly fee.

6/

It's all perma storage so you don't have to worry about migrating storage providers at some point. Everything could be associated with your Solana account, so it's all custodied by you.

7/

I'm not done! Next idea: Crowdsourced crypto donations. Imagine an app where a DAO picks a "featured" non-profit per day, which shows up in the app. Then, all users of the app could make a small donation to that organization.

8/

If the app has just 50k users and everyone donates $0.50, that could be a boon to a lot of nonprofits! And don't forget, they would get 100% of money sent - no fees! The app could also connect users further with the nonprofit of the day so they get more help and support.

9/

With crypto there can be a lot of transparency about where funds get spent; a particular day's donations could be locked in an escrow until certain conditions are met. People love to give back, and something like this could unlock a lot of helpful money!

10/

NEXT: NFT content creation apps. This one is HUGE, and possibly warrants it's own thread. But in general, apps that allow users to create content and then mint as NFTs would be amazing and a lot of fun!

11/

Think drawing/art apps, written content (poetry nfts?), AR content, the list goes on and on. Let artists create on their phones and mint anywhere! Entire social networks could be built around this idea. Think big.

12/

I have so many more ideas but this thread is getting long so I'll stop here. I haven't even covered gaming! That *definitely* will get it's own thread.

If you liked this, plz share it out and if you haven't already, give me a follow.

Let's build the #mobile3 future!
