I had a really hard problem. I think I solved it.

Sat down with @MartinPefaur, founder of @Chatterpay, and tried it live. It's a wallet that lives inside WhatsApp, the app everyone already uses. Sending and receiving $ADA has never been this easy and frictionless. This is what mass adoption looks like: users don't even notice they're on a blockchain. Huge work by this team, congrats 👏👏👏

2B+ WhatsApp users can now touch Cardano without a wallet. @chatterpay has ADA live on mainnet. @tomasdm_eth showed me the Draper demo. Weirdly simple. Phone number. Text or voice. Done. This is the onboarding angle I care about. Would you trust WhatsApp for ADA? CC @MartinPefaur

Would you trust WhatsApp for $ADA? You already trust it with everything else. Cardano is live on mainnet. Stablecoin transfers are gasless, no ADA needed. Thanks @astroboysoup for the interview. Our journey and what's next for @chatterpay 👇

The ticker is $JUMP The super-app for onchain finance.

El pelotudo de Firtman se piensa que las empresas le tienen que informar a él si despiden gente. O al publico por caso.

We're excited to announce that we're expanding ChatterPay into the Cardano ecosystem. Now +2B people can send ADA, USDCx, USDM, USDA directly on WhatsApp. No new apps. Just send a voice or text message, and that's it. The easiest way to onboard new people into Cardano!

Last week a hackathon win at GitHub HQ. This week $ADA in WhatsApp. Keep going!

Just sent $ADA to my grandma. She knows nothing about crypto. She has a wallet on WhatsApp and that's it. Anyone can be onboarded to Cardano now. Try it out:

Now over 2B people can use cardano:native, on WhatsApp! Send cardano:native or USDCx to any WhatsApp contact in the world. We are excited to bring @chatterpay into the Cardano ecosystem.

Cardano has never had a shortage of talented builders. What it's lacked is a bridge from that talent to Silicon Valley networks, mentorship, and capital. That's the gap the Genesis program is built to close, and this week, we watched the first cohort pitch on stage after four weeks of building, testing, and rewriting their ideas. Thirteen teams, spanning AI, payments, DeFi, infrastructure, and consumer, some brand new to Cardano and some who've been building here for years. Great judging panel including @TimDraper, @Andytang, @samizb, Aleeha Banerjee from our investment team, and Stephen Wood from @Cardano_CF. It was amazing to see Orion Fund come to life in person alongside the builders. Every part of Orion came together: @Cometa_Labs providing technical mentorship and growth support, our very own @DraperDragon investment team mentoring and advising founders, and @draper_u making it all possible. Best of all, this is only the beginning. Our investment and growth teams will continue working with these founders well beyond Demo Day, with many more cohorts to come across all stages this year and next. Thank you to everyone who made it happen!

Send $ADA on WhatsApp. It’s real. It’s live. For Cardano. In your pocket. One message away. 📩

Huge opportunity for builders in the Cardano and Bitcoin ecosystem 🚀

Pitched ChatterPay to @TimDraper today at Draper Genesis! @draper_u

It was a great hackathon! @truefoundry @QodoAI

Spotted a Cybercab in SF!

Soon, anyone will be able to send cardano:native via WhatsApp! It only takes one message, and you'll have a Cardano wallet

The strongest signal an ecosystem can send is founders choosing to build in it. The Genesis Pre-Accelerator cohort is set, building on Cardano at @DraperU in Silicon Valley. A four-week residency for early-stage teams from Argentina, South Africa, Germany, Australia, Andorra, and the US, working in payments, institutional DeFi, compliance, and enterprise tools. Every team gets an investment, not a grant. Founder success and ecosystem upside point the same way. It ends with Pitch Day in front of angels and early-stage VCs. Ready to raise? Apex Growth Accelerator applications close Sept 1. Congrats to the cohort, and thanks to @DraperU and @Cardano_CF.
