Transforming Web3 Payments
Pulsar Money, a growth lead, is pushing the frontier of Web3 payments with innovative features such as social transfers that allow users to send crypto directly through X. This feature allows users to send crypto by simply tagging a handle, making payments seamless, easy, and convenient.
Why We’re Not Using Crypto for Everyday Transactions Yet
Despite the potential of cryptocurrencies, they are not yet widely used for everyday transactions. In a recent episode of The Clear Crypto Podcast, Nathan Jeffay and Gareth Jenkinson from Cointelegraph sat down with Stefana Banciu, growth lead at Pulsar Money, to explore the reasons behind this.
Banciu pointed out that while some people are using Mastercard-linked crypto cards as a stopgap, the real revolution in crypto payments hasn’t yet reached the coffee shop counter. The lack of intuitive, social, and entertaining experiences is a major barrier to adoption.
Making Crypto Fun
To overcome this barrier, Banciu emphasized the importance of making crypto payments fun and enjoyable. She believes that by creating experiences that are intuitive, social, and entertaining, crypto payments can become a mainstream phenomenon.
For example, Pulsar’s platform includes a “social payments module” that allows users to send crypto directly through X by tagging a handle. This feature not only makes payments easy but also creates a sense of community and social interaction.
The Future of Crypto Payments
The future of crypto payments is exciting, and it’s clear that Pulsar Money is at the forefront of innovation in this space. By creating a seamless, easy, and convenient payment experience, Pulsar Money is poised to make crypto payments a reality.
In the words of Banciu, “You can actually have super seamless, easy and convenient payments, and it can also be super fun.”
