A lot of people asked me what we're building at the @hackerhouses this week. This thread sums it up better than I do at 2am 馃槄

We turn cashback into free purchases.

It's the same budget a card already spends on cashback, split differently: a real discount fairly often, and now and then the whole purchase back. How it works, and why we're building it now, below.

@fade_labs is a protocol, kept as simple as possible. We run the draw and pay the wins. Card issuers own the marketing strategy.

A 2% cashback card spends 2% of every purchase on rewards. With Fade, the issuer decides what that 2% feels like.

It can give 1 purchase in 5 a 10% discount, so cardholders win often. Or it can give 1 purchase in 50 the whole purchase back, which happens less often but is the kind of win people tell their friends about.

Both cost about the same on average. The issuer sets the odds and can change them at any time, and our shared vault on @solana pays every win.

The need for @fade_labs is right here, right now.
No time to waste.

The coming weeks with @hackerhouses , @solana Breakpoint, Demo Day, and @colosseum will be crucial!

Stablecoins moved $482B in payments between January and September, 45% more than a year earlier.

Payments went on-chain. Rewards are next. The odds are public before you pay, the draw happens on-chain, and if you win, the money is in your wallet a few seconds later.

We're building Fade so any card, wallet or app on @solana can plug that in.

I don't see how cashback can last. Issuers spend billions on rewards their customers barely notice...

Fade keeps the same budget and turns it into a reward people actually remember.
And the shared vault behind it is a new DeFi primitive: a USDC vault that earns from payments, not from crypto prices

Quick math for card issuers.

2% cashback on a $50 dinner is $1. Your cardholder won't even notice it.

Put that 2% into Fade instead: 1 purchase in 10 gets 10% back, 1 in 100 gets the whole dinner back. It costs you about the same.

Nobody talks about getting $1 back. Everybody talks about the free dinner.

You pick the odds, the shared vault absorbs the variance, and wins land in seconds on @solana.

Only Day 2 at @hackerhouses with @0xEspada1 and already so many insights for @fade_labs

Pitch Roast challenge: convince the room that cashback is dead, and Fade is building what comes next
Huge thanks to @viewfromhk and @1MrHarding for the valuable feedback!

Great conversations with giga brains like @readylayerone and @d3h3d_

One thing is already crystal clear: this Hacker House is going to turbocharge Fade!
