Bend

We are excited to announce our latest integration with Bend, a free payments app built by Eco Inc. Bend makes sending and receiving US dollars seamless– without needing a bank account. By integrating Notifi, Bend users can also opt-in to receive email confirmations for any payment sent to or from Bend accounts and deliver all notifications using Bend’s onchain payments on Optimism and Base blockchains. Notifi seeks to uphold the best performance for Bend’s notifications so its users cannot differentiate the experience between legacy and onchain apps like Bend. Seamless onchain app experiences will inevitably bring more users. Read More: https://lnkd.in/giY5hwjH

One click. Full send. For any action onchain. We're building a new protocol to enable apps to unlock stablecoin liquidity from any connected chain and give users the simplest possible onchain experience. Introducing Eco: https://lnkd.in/eGm3yNuj Eco is a protocol for stablecoins and the apps that use them. Eco focuses on a singular, opinionated use case: fast, cheap, single-click stablecoin transaction execution anywhere across Ethereum. The Eco Protocol brings together an Ethereum-based rollup and permissionless liquidity network designed for the most capital-efficient stablecoin transaction execution with the simplest possible user experience. Developers can easily integrate Eco to streamline their app’s onboarding, liquidity, or other complex transaction flows. ✅ Instant, permissionless liquidity ✅ Cheapest possible tx execution ✅ Native cross-chain tx support ✅ Seamless integration ✅ User-centric design Rather than introducing another general-purpose protocol that further fragments liquidity within the Ethereum ecosystem, Eco is designed to unify liquidity for its use case — making any onchain interaction a simple stablesend. If you want to learn more, check out eco.com! We invite your collaboration and feedback. If you’re interested in integrating Eco into your app, please get in touch with us!

But, what if cross-rollup actions required no new trust assumptions or message bridging…? Recently, we’ve been contributing to RIP-7755, proposed by Wilson Cusack. Here’s one solution using the L1 block hash (still WIP!). Cross-L2 Actions: https://lnkd.in/esXPZEvy This demonstrates cross-L2 communication by validating a destination chain transaction on a source chain using only the data posted to Ethereum by the destination chain’s sequencers. To quote Vitalik Buterin, we need an open decentralized (operator-free, governance-free) protocol for quickly moving assets from one L2 to another. We agree. This should be standard for rollups on Ethereum. This solution uses storage proofs and is compatible with any rollup that posts its state to Ethereum & whose sequencer exposes the L1 block data on the L2. It’s fully permissionless. No trust assumptions are added. (An alternative solution could use EIP-4788 where supported) Soon, Bend will demo this solution live, using it for transactions between Optimism and Base. This is the first step toward unveiling what we’re working on with Eco. We’re always excited to share code and want your feedback! We’ll keep improving this in the weeks to come. We hope this neutral transaction layer helps builders progress toward true, native interoperability for Ethereum. We’ll keep contributing. Eco is coming soon...
