How much do compressed NFTs cost on
@solana
?
People keep asking, so I built this little tool to help.
Check it out:
Comparably minting 1 million NFTs:
- compressed: ~58 SOL
- uncompressed: ~12,000 SOL

@MiguelNorberto_

one of the things that the entire web3 industry is missing is good no-code builders for non-developers to use the tech
having things like this will help overall adoption of blockchain period. i love to see it :)

By popular request, blinks-xyz is now fully open source (Apache 2.0 license)
The key feature of the site is the Blink Inspector, allowing anyone to debug their blinks and see all the data returned from one.

I think
@helium_mobile
needs a family plan:
The onboarding is already so easy. But if crypto native people had the ability to "add a line" to their plan, where they could collect the rewards for their family members all to their wallet. That would be amazing!

What can we do to encourage more open source or at least public repos on

It is an attempt to create a composable on-chain social protocol. It's not perfect and it is just a start :)

the worst part of going to crypto events in person is that just about everyone simply "wants to connect" and shill their random thing or ask for money.
people usually do not want to add value to others, they just want to take value/time form you.

if only there was a fast, cheap chain that has users, liquidity, dedicated devs, a passionate community, and does not fracture state or liquidity 🤔
someone should build that

Many months ago, a
@solanapay
based message signing spec was proposed
With it, you could allow wallets to verify ownership with a simple QR code scan. Powerful for IRL and airgap things!
I think we should still have this spec in the ecosystem. Who agrees?

the real superpower of blinks is that they allow people to use the
