Would love to see IPFS pinning services start to accept x402

since this might get missed by the TL. I deployed a totally permissionless way to create prediction markets that you can trade and resolve on @ethereum. I got tired of asking for markets on interesting things on other PM platforms. And also there isn't a ETH-based one. Hence: twitter.com/z0r0zzz/status/197...

If you can take your eyes off your liquidation messages, you will realize nothing has happened. Trump wrote one mean tweet, and everyone over-leveraged gambling in this perps farming meta got rinsed. Nothing has changed. I’m all in.

I just tried out MetaMask perps... Surprisingly, they may have actually cooked with this? Some of my thoughts: Great: ◇ Can fund your account with any EVM-compatible token. They abstract away the swap & bridge transactions required for you to load up USDC Good: ◇ HyperEVM under the hood ◇ UX and onboarding flow are obviously copied from Phantom wallet (which is good) Bad: ◇ Fees seem kinda high for funding ◇ Missing features (e.g. increase/reduce/reverse position) Compared to interacting with apps using MetaMask mobile, this is significantly better. Nice to see some good ships to the fox 🦊

Extremely addictive new gamba game just dropped on Abstract, death[dot]fun. It reminds me of the Chicken Crossing game from Roobet a little. Another fun consumer experience unlocked by AGW session keys - enabling unlimited games & no interruptions from the wallet. Ref link ↓

The beauty of the Abstract portal is having a trusted place to move quickly on any device. You can go from seeing a Tweet to buying the right coin on Abstract in 30 seconds from your phone.

One of my top priorities at Abstract currently is improving the dev experience of using AI tools to build on Abstract. I'm convinced that the future of dev rel is about optimizing for AI. Here is a demo of me one-shot prompting an Abstract Global Wallet integration in Cursor:

Abstract Global Wallet is the most successful smart contract wallet the EVM ecosystem has seen, but we still have a lot of improvements to work through. Smart contract wallets were designed with two key objectives in mind: 1/ Improve the onboarding flow for new users. 2/

Two huge upgrades coming to Abstract soon: 1/ Celestia DA - Much higher transaction throughput. - Significantly decreased gas fees per transaction. 2/ EVM Equivalence - Ability to deploy unmodified EVM contracts to Abstract without using ZK-specific tooling. Builders build
