Exciting news today: Paper is now part of thirdweb! 🎉 We’re joining forces to build an all-in-one blockchain development stack — empowering builders with the tools they need to create seamless web3 apps. Here’s what this means for the future of Paper 🧵

Maintenance is now complete! Thanks all for your patience.

We'll be undergoing scheduled maintenance for 30 minutes this Sunday, July 16th at 1PM Pacific Time! During this time, checkout and minting services will be offline while we make improvements. To get real time updates, you can visit status.withpaper.com.

We're teaming up with @papercheckout to make building your Web3 communities even easier and to bring the crypto-curious the same utility expert users enjoy!

We just made it easy for your users to remember their credit card checkout details on any device. All users need to do is validate an OTP sent to their email address, and it’ll auto-populate their card details. It’s like the “remember card info” option. But it works on any device, in any location. (So long as you’re using Stripe.) Anyone using a Paper Checkout to buy an NFT will automatically have this option available. For you as the developer, this likely means higher conversions. Why? Less friction for your users → Higher likelihood that they’ll complete the purchase

If you’re building an NFT marketplace, you need one thing: buyers. And to be successful in the current market, you need to expand your buyers beyond crypto-natives. That means 1) accepting credit card payments, not just crypto. And 2) not requiring a wallet to checkout. Thankfully, you can do this easily with @papercheckout “Makes sense, but I’m implementing a secondary marketplace, so I can only accept crypto” Not true. With Paper, you’re able to accept credit card payments for NFT listings on Opensea, Rarible, and even Blur. Dont believe me? Take it from the best whitelabel marketplace out there: @Snag_Solutions They power ApeCoinDAO, Goblin Town, and many other major NFT projects’ marketplaces. twitter.com/Snag_Solutions/s…

NEW: Allow your users to export their private keys At Paper, we make web3 wallets super simple for your users -> log in with email or social auth But unlike other email-based wallets, we're completely non-custodial. And now, your users have the ability to export their private keys. Why users might want this - Losing access to an email (ex. a corporate account) - Become familiar with web3 (& want to use something like MetaMask) How it works It's embedded as an iframe on allowlisted domains only (prevents malicious sites from hacking your users)

🏦 Big news! You can now onboard collectors without asking them to create a wallet! Thanks to our integration with @papercheckout it is now possible to get started with an email and cover minting fees with a credit card!
