One of the easiest ways to lose a user in 2026? Making them stop mid-transaction to figure out fees, find extra balances, or bridge assets just to complete a payment. With Chainrails Paymaster, you decide how protocol fees are handled: ➜Free Plan — users cover their own protocol fees ➜Pay As You Go(PAYG) — sponsor fees as transactions happen ➜Monthly Subscription — predictable billing with included transaction volume This way, your users keep moving & your payment flow stays smooth. Get started → docs.chainrails.io/concepts/…
What exactly is a Paymaster? Every cross-chain transaction involves execution costs underneath the interaction layer. This includes: → bridge fees → swap fees → relayer execution costs In most systems, these fees are pushed directly to users, often requiring them to maintain additional balances just to complete transactions successfully. Chainrails Paymaster easily handles this complexity. You can sponsor protocol fees on behalf of users automatically, allowing deposits, withdrawals, and payment flows to complete without exposing txn fee friction directly to the user. The result is a cleaner execution experience where the infra handles transaction costs underneath while the interaction flow remains seamless.

May was a big month for Chainrails. We were featured in the Nigerian @solana Ecosystem Snapshot, highlighting the growing role of infrastructure in powering the next generation of onchain applications. We also expanded our ecosystem through key partnerships: ➜@Zend_Money integrated Chainrails to power cross-chain deposits and withdrawals, giving users access to faster settlement and broader chain support without additional complexity. ➜@Fundablehq partnered with Chainrails to simplify how value moves across fragmented ecosystems, helping create more seamless financial experiences for users. ➜@rail_money launched its beta powered by Chainrails, bringing smoother cross-chain experiences and connected liquidity flows to its growing user base. Behind the scenes, we kept making life easier for builders: → Headless server-to-server fiat onramp now available across 15 countries, allowing users to complete fiat-to-crypto conversions without being redirected through third-party provider flows → A complete website revamp to better showcase our infrastructure and a better developer experience, check it out at chainrails.io → Settlement times for smaller transactions reduced from ~30 seconds to under 5 seconds…over 6x improvement! → Continued improvements to our Solana infra, including automated refunds, Paymasters, and more reliable execution flows The goal remains the same, make moving value across chains and fiat currencies feel seamless. JUNE gets even better 🚀

There is a reason Singapore is successful. Just look at the quality of people who go into politics in their country.
Singapore’s Foreign Minister, Dr Balakrishnan casually explaining how he built his own AI agent (a 2nd brain for diplomacy) using Claude & WhatsApp integration etc. on a Raspberry Pi “You cannot govern a technology you have only been briefed on.” 🇸🇬

To be fair, at some point everyone has benefited from bad calls in this game. Everyone. So, we need the regulators to be consistent. However, to suddenly describe Arsenal’s run as one favoured by bad calls is very ridiculous. That said, it was a clear foul today. No bad call!

Guys, always stand up to shake hands. If the other person is older than you, it shows respect. If they are younger than you, it shows humility. Either way, you win. People who sit to shake hands are bad-mannered. When you shake hands, do not just offer a limp hand... even to an elder! Make sure that your handshake is firm. It shows confidence and fitness. Then make sure that you look into the person’s eyes. It shows interest, attention and confidence. Don’t look away furtively like a liar and a thief! Remember, as a man, there should be nothing limp or flaccid about you. You should always be polite and gracious, quietly confident (not arrogant, that is for inferior men) and erect. Always erect! I am Ezemmuo. I know things.

The difficult thing with consumer apps currently is that you'd have to account for how “doom scrolling” has become a sticky habit and build of that. The biggest attention sink has been vertical /micro dramas. Already an $11B market. You will need to spot mega trends like that to make the investment worth the investor's interest. x.com/tbpn/status/2052874292…

If you want to optimise your life, learn when to align with people you don’t like for the common good. Learn to compartmentalise. Rival clubs came together to build the Premier League, then went back to being rivals the next matchday. The league got built. The rivalries survived. This message does not apply to Obidients or whatever else you are called. Y’all have no chance.

Real World Assets and Stablecoin work together. With @BitsaveProtocol's BizMarket, users never run out of yield because the yield comes from real world businesses. I explained a little of how web3 users earn yield on BizMarket during the Business Segment on @ARISEtv and yes we're currently in talks with an Airline company.
I'll be speaking at @ARISEtv with @Rotankwot on: - Stablecoins - RWAs - Bitcoin and general crypto updates 🗓️ Today May 8th 🕚 11:07 AM WAT 🎥 Arise TV YouTube

Life advice nobody told you: Always default to praise of people who aren't in the room. The way you talk about someone who isn't in the room is one of the loudest signals about the energy you carry. An observation about the most impressive, magnetic people I've been around: They never speak badly about people who aren't there. They never use underhanded or discrediting comments. They glow about them, or they say nothing. If everyone is speaking negatively about someone, it's perfectly reasonable to opt out and say nothing. It shifts the entire power balance of the conversation in your favor. It shows a level of stoic awareness and calm that stands out. We all silently catalogue how others speak about people who aren't in the room, because we know that we may be the topic of that conversation as soon as we leave. Those who default to praise command the room and silently set a standard of safety that everyone else can feed off of.

As a startup, It’s not enough to work with content creators in this age and time , they are an integral part of your distribution network, they should be on your payroll. Look at how content creators are driving music distribution on tiktok , making music go viral .

One of our GTM strategies: show up uninvited at startup offices across Nairobi. B2B is hard but that’s what makes it interesting and we had 70% response rate. This was me right after speaking with an HR manager at one of the biggest tech companies in Nairobi. We documented the whole experience, and the full content drops soon 👀

Replying to @notpuang
I built RareCode.ai to address the core difficulty of learning Rust: 1) Watching videos and reading tutorials does not work 2) Practicing is frustrating because there are so many compiler issues that can hit you So I designed a 740-problem Rust sequence that 1) carefully limits the kinds of errors you will be exposed to and 2) warns you in advance of how to avoid errors you aren't yet prepared to handle 3) introduces new concepts slowly while reviewing old concepts The platform is so effective that one person even used it to learn Rust as their first programming language. So, you should have no trouble at all. x.com/Yoann_Alves_/status/20…
It took me a few weeks, but I did it 🔥 All the 739 exercises in Rust from @RareCodeAI are finished. I currently learn how to code, and Rust is my first programming language. And RareCode helps me a lot to start my coding journey. More here: kairos-musubi.com/posts/why-…
