Hi, I'm Joshua Idele, blockchain eng. and researcher. founder @use_zypp And today's my 16th birthday!

This Friday, FocusGrid x @tot_global Better Early: How young techies are building with purpose We’re bringing together builders, creatives, and voices shaping what early ambition looks like in tech. Speakers: @josh_scriptz @thetechsteph @ConfiFX @nursedev001 @Thomas_TheGuy @AladeWealth_ You shouldn't miss this for anything

Beta-1 is officially closed. Fixes slated for the month before open release: - Reduce latency in local transaction signing and relay propagation. - Improve user experience and fix broken swap-to-pay feature on Android. - Fully implement Google backup and retrieval for Zypp Pay accounts. - First implementation of The Lossless Experiment in the Zypp Pay app. Off to Phase 2! Zypp Labs − The Layer 2 for offline payments.

The last two months have been intense at Zypp Labs. If we're building money that moves no matter what, then we have to keep moving too. Here's what happened across April and May: − We officially started development of Zypp Pay, turning months of research into a real product and taking the first steps toward offline-first payments. x.com/use_zypp/status/203965… − We researched, designed, and built a new transaction transfer protocol that removes the need for Bluetooth, opening up new possibilities for device-to-device payment communication. x.com/use_zypp/status/204216… − We launched the Zypp Pay website and waitlist, attracting over 3,200 signups. These users gained access to our Beta-1 campaign and became the foundation of our early testing community. x.com/use_zypp/status/204587… − We onboarded our first cohort of beta testers from the waitlist, with 30 users actively testing Zypp Pay and providing feedback that continues to shape the product. x.com/use_zypp/status/205028… − Zypp Labs was featured in Hashed Emergent's Web3 Finance Landscape Report, recognizing our work in offline-first payment infrastructure. docsend.com/view/rh2qdtbhftc… − We participated in the Solana Frontier Colosseum Hackathon, pushing Zypp Pay further under real-world development timelines. x.com/use_zypp/status/205360… − We restructured our brand identity and visual system to better reflect the direction we're heading as a company. x.com/use_zypp/status/205990… − We quietly began the Lossless Experiment, an internal initiative exploring new approaches to resilient financial infrastructure. Most of this work happened behind the scenes, but it lays the foundation for everything coming next. The focus now is simple: ship, learn, iterate, and get Zypp Pay into more hands. Stay bullish.

damn!

The fastest growing market in the world. And we’re making it work offline. gm ☀️

if it doesn't work offline, it fails as a medium! zm!

I’ve been patient about this for months, but at this point I need to speak publicly. @Rhyscryptoo still owes me agreed payment from 2 projects despite repeated follow-ups, promises, and continued requests for work/help afterward. Last year, I worked on a clipping platform project for him under a milestone payment agreement. Midway through the project, after funding development myself, I requested just 25% ($1500) of the agreed amount so I could continue comfortably. On a call, he went through it and said he was impressed with the work and said he’d send it. He never did. Later on, he approached me for another project. Before agreeing, I brought up the previous situation and asked for an explanation. He explained that he no longer needed the first project anymore. While I was frustrated because of the amount of time, energy, and personal resources I had already invested, I understood his side and decided to move forward professionally. I then worked on the second project, and after delivery, he said he wasn’t satisfied with the final outcome, which I honestly understood from his side too. We then agreed on a $500 compensation with payment expected within 7 days. Then about a week or two later, he came back with a smaller paid gig (Framer / custom code work). I completed it and got paid properly. I also helped with other technical fixes around that time, which is why I didn’t suspect anything was off, since there was still normal paid collaboration happening. That compensation payment was still never sent. That was months ago. Since then: mostly silence, delayed replies, or no replies at all despite repeated follow-ups. Meanwhile, I still continued helping with deployments, domains, repos, fixes, and technical support whenever needed outside of that smaller paid gig. Freelancers invest real time, money, energy, internet, electricity, and sacrifice into projects. Some of us are balancing school and exams while still trying to deliver professionally. I still hope this gets resolved privately and professionally, but repeatedly delaying agreed payments while continuing to ask for work/help isn’t okay.

Introducing Hanta Virus

I’ve wanted this kind of navigation animation in react native for a long time. It always felt almost impossible to get right, but it’s finally starting to feel close. This animation is .navigation.reveal() in react-native-screen-transitions. Here’s a side by side comparison.

finally ready! can’t wait for everyone to have it
