Stripe’s new product for web3

With the use of the firm’s new fiat-to-crypto widget, consumers of any crypto product can input their credit card details to buy crypto that they can use in another web3 product.

Apple wants 30% from the gas fees of Coinbase

Apple is demanding a 30% cut of the gas expenses for mobile transactions, according to Coinbase Wallet, which means iOS users may no longer send NFTs to one another.

However, as Coinbase also mentions in the below tweet, this is basically not possible. They said “we couldn’t comply even if we tried.” since Apple’s In-App Purchase system doesn’t support crypto.

Frank from Y00ts and DeGods doxxed himself

DeGods is an NFT project on Solana that minted on October 8th of 2021. The founder of the project, Frank doxxed herself as Rohun Vora.

Rohun Vora attended UCLA for two years, dropped out to pursue a fellowship at Y-Combinator, briefly studied engineering with General Assembly, and then went on to work at MainStreet.
