Tether backs stablecoin liquidity provider Mansa in $10M seed round
As payment companies increasingly explore stablecoins for cross-border payments and real-time settlement, some startups are tapping into the zeitgeist by providing liquidity via a revolving line of credit in stablecoins. One of them is Dubai-based but…

If the Yup aggregator would be a public company, I've already shorted it, cause such a poor UX wouldn't survive on the scale. Bet ya, the all will die either from not getting active users at all, or from the founder burned out.

The problem with @lens/@yup_io @lens/@yupdev is that its built by devs for devs, who are oftenly a crypto nerds.
There is no problem from the first glance, but as much time u spend here u realize….

Somehow I believe blockchain more likely will find a place in web3, than in crypto itself. States just won’t allow it to exist and scale for adoption.

Eventually every company will become a superapp. Its already happening around the tech. YouTube tasting games, LinkedIn integrates them, Discord, Telegram added mini apps, and this trend will go on.

Im tired to hear — VCs overvalued. You need to bootstrap. Well, those from who I hear that build design tools, analytics dashboard, and generally stuff, which doesnt require hard tech.

I just lost a 5000 words thread, cuz Yup doesn't have Draft feature and my Rewind, which captures similar stuff and prevent my quirky moves, was turned off. God bless web3. Press F to pay respect.

Does someone has an eye on DAOs? I wonder if some countries implemented the framework for regulation? I'm not talking about DAO LLC in US.

Yup, here are two bugs
1) I can't claim my rewards for posting content.
2) I can't connect Lens and post, because it's just circling contstantly w/o any result.

The worst user experience in web 3 social aggregator, is to mention someone. In twitter or linkedin you have a graph database close enough, so it's easy to mention and find anyone. But if you have 2 databases, or 4 at least, then it's a nightmare.

God bless web3. Such a valuable info, love to read content here. Keep in mind, that I can't even read my twitter feed here, but this stuff is so valuable, they must put it into my UI.

The cool branding and naming isn't the milestone to success. But it's actually a part of UX. I wanted simply to check the funding and the team size. Here is a part of the list (it's even bigger) of companies, who call themselves Firefly. Didn't u come up with original name?

Comparing Yup and Firefly, both web3 social aggregators, the first one did one thing right — one feed. It's much easier to understand and consume. Why to have separate feeds after all? Add a filter at least, but there's no need to switch between tabs. I'm talking to u Firefly.

People are so conservative and represent ludits from 18 century. I shared my referral link to Arc Browser 40 times at least. 40 times I pitched how cool is, to switch from Safari and Chrome. Wanna hear how many actually downloaded the app? 0. ZERO man.

I tried to post on Lens, but guess what happened? It's just an infinite reload button and nothing happens in Yup. When I told the founder, that's crap and u gotta fix that, he basically said: what isn't bullsh*t after all? maaaaan

I used Firefly and for 2 days and gotta say. Yup is so bad. I didn't see so many bugs, in both: web and mobile apps. I can't open the feed, I can't connect Lens, I can't log in with Farcaster. It's just awful. Who would use this?

What cross chain bridges still work and could be trusted? I wanted to connect all social media to Yup cross posting app, turned out I didnt have enough MATIC. So I went to swap my TRX and could find a place, because all have either limits for minimum sum, etc. w/o Lens Protocol
