Bro, your larp project tried gaining recognition by using
$ZERA in their templates.
You just redefined 'offline' to save face lol.
$OFFCHAIN still needs a centralized online gateway for every single tx.
Feature phone spits out plain SMS → backend (with internet Solana RPC) parses, builds, signs and broadcasts it. 😅
That's not offline crypto, that's an SMS-to-RPc proxy with extra fees, latency, and a fat single point of failure. SIM swaps and carrier blocks say hi.
Real Solana offline txs means: pre-sign on air-gapped device then broadcast later.
If you have no signal at all in the mountains or disaster zones? Your whole system is dead.
Your example of a son transferring money to his elderly parents using a Nokia also collapses:
"He Sets up their account on any phone or web app, links the solana account to their Phone number, Teaches them a simple thing, Send a SmS to xx number with yy SOL to xxyyzz"
Then "they visit a nearby vendor who could offramp it for them" .
So the son (with internet) does the setup. Parents on Nokia can't set up or control the account themselves - they only send basic SMS commands after setup.
To actually use the received SOL?
They still gotta go find a "nearby vendor" for cash-out.
Which means:
Counterparty risk, scams, liquidity issues, extra fees token volatility.
SMS for money commands is insecure as hell (SIM swaps). Real mobile money like M-Pesa has way less friction without new central middleman or price swings.
"To keep it simple, i could be on a mountain with no Internet data, or at many places where i have cellular connection but no internet due to weak coverage, i would still be able to Offramp/Send Those tokens, and thats the revolutionary part here, i cant use Zera there but i could use
$Offchain there."
Wrong.
Just export the ZERA note and send it as SMS. Recipient verifies locally and no live backend needed.
ZERA's cryptographic notes (bearer-like shielded value with ZK proofs) export as a file. You got weak signal? Send via SMS when basic cellular works.
Recipient holds it, verifies fully offline, and redeems whenever. No constant relayer required, unlike
$OFFCHAIN 🙃
You also dodged some crucial points like:
- Zero public code, no GitHub, nothing showing verifiable non-custodial SMS signing.
- Trading tokens offline lmao
- Offline perps 😭
Classic LARP
Have fun IG 😘
