Magicians in Space: Creating Great Consumer Experiences

on YouTube ↗07m

" summary

A mobile-first token trading app called Slingshot proves fully onchain non-custodial UX can feel familiar: users onboard with Venmo and see $100 while the app holds USDC across liquidity reserves across chains. Trades sign an offchain intent + resource lock, a relayer fronts on-chain liquidity, the token lands in-wallet and the lock settles — enabling instant trades on-chain, instant withdrawals, and access to new memecoins without custody.
