payments are boring: a passive experience that ends at the tap of a card. what if one of the most repeated actions in your life was also the most fun? @paywithpyre will bring payments to life. (entertainment finance)

Today we burned 46.5M SOPH: ~0.5% of total supply. SOPH's utility is evolving from gas and staking to buybacks and burns funded by product revenue. More to follow as @paywithpyre launches soon.

Today, we're decommissioning the Sophon Chain. You don't find product-market fit by defending sunk costs. Instead, you learn and adapt.

The goal has always been to be on the most realistic path to product-market fit, and sometimes that means a bold move like this one. @paywithpyre will be our first product, and the opening move in a category we're naming: entertainment finance.

Whoever made the @Sophon website needs a raise, good work. Best chain website ive seen in a while, even if it is just a countdown timer. The sound design is perfect. The easing and animations are great. The idea is funny, the responsiveness is satisfying. Bookmarked.

ecosystem farming is a graveyard. funding hobby projects and outsourcing pmf to others is an irresponsible business strategy. the teams running this playbook know it. we stopped pretending 9 months ago.

step 1: get milked by users. step 2: get milked by apps. when your infra serves no unique purpose, the apps have all the leverage. your desperation becomes their springboard. see etherfi x @Scroll_ZKP , or kast x @movement_xyz continuing this bd strategy is false hope
