Iโve been busy bootstrapping PromptBase to 450k users
But I was burning $9,400/mo in opaque Stripe fees for seller payouts
So today Iโm launching Zoneless: an open-source clone of Stripe Connect using USDC
Identical API, except payouts cost $0.002
Iโve been dogfooding it on PromptBase for 3 months:
- 2,200 sellers onboarded
- 1,400 payouts completed
- $9.4k/mo in Stripe fees โ ~$5/mo
- 73% of sellers chose Zoneless over Stripe

I've never built open-source before, so this is all pretty new
Back to building now ๐ซก
