less than 24 hours to go / @arc x @PulsarMoneyApp

I wanted to put everything we’ve been showcasing at Pulsar over the past weeks in one place before launch

an old-fashioned thread on the core product, the use cases and the integrations behind them

from getting paid to letting an agent make a payment 🧵

we’re building @PulsarMoneyApp to be your go-to payments app for euros, alongside everything else we're building

- 0 Pulsar FX fee on euro purchases paid from your EUR balance
- near-Google rates for USD ↔ EUR exchange with StableFX
- earn up to 5% with Pulsar Earn, currently in USD, with EUR coming next
- up to 4% cashback on Pro, with double-cashback campaigns taking it up to 8% at selected merchants
- selected subscriptions and partner offers included in our 2x cashback campaigns

now let me explain what this looks like in practice

I used to get paid in dollars and spend in euros. I had to move money between apps just to use what I'd earned, losing money to fees along the way. it's one of the problems we really wanted to solve

say a client pays you in dollar stablecoins and your rent is due next week in EUR. with StableFX in Pulsar, you can see the rate before you confirm, swap enough USDC into EURC on @arc to cover rent and groceries, and keep the rest in USDC. all at near-Google rates

already hold EURC? skip the swap. 100 EURC gives you €100 to spend. buy €40 of groceries at Lidl and you have €60 left. there's no Pulsar FX fee when you pay in euros from your EUR balance

you can use that same EUR balance to pay your landlord by SEPA transfer where supported. eligible card purchases also earn Pulsar Points you can redeem for a refund in USDC

and while you're not spending, you can put your USD balance to work with Pulsar Earn. access onchain yield of up to 5%, directly in the same app. rates are variable, and EUR Earn is coming next

receive your money, exchange what you need, earn on what you set aside, and pay for everyday life. that's the experience we're building at Pulsar

excited to join Full Stack London on 12 November

at Pulsar, we're building products that make stablecoins useful beyond trading. looking forward to sharing what we're learning and discussing what's next for onchain credit and everyday finance

thanks @wirexapp and house of block for bringing us together. if you're in London, looking forward to meet you there!

put idle USDC to work

Pulsar Earn on @arc: deposit, earn, spend. @0xemmyeth just tried it with $10 and broke down the full flow

it's one of the first consumer oriented Earn products on @arc and we are going to ship a few more products on top

had a great chat with @lemur_labs on going from backing fintechs to building one, and why stablecoins are how money finally talks across borders
