Gm @wcthub 💚 WalletConnect Pay is wanted in Vietnam 🇻🇳 Today I stopped by a nearby WinMart and quickly asked the sales clerk about the payment system at the counter. At checkout, I asked: -> What payment methods does the store currently accept? -> He said the store currently accepts cash, bank transfers, card payments, and QR payments. He also showed me the POS machine D210, which has a BIDV payment sticker. I asked further: -> Has the store ever considered accepting payments with Bitcoin/USDC before? If in the future it’s possible to scan crypto to pay as simply as scanning a QR code, what do you think? -> He said if it works, is easy to use, and doesn’t slow down the checkout process, that would be convenient. The seller just needs the customer to pay quickly, with clear and uncomplicated steps. What I liked was that the sales clerk was very friendly. When I asked about the POS machine, he even took the initiative to hold the device and film clearly to show the device’s angle and introduced it enthusiastically. Actually, many people outside of Web3 nowadays no longer find crypto too unfamiliar. What they need is just a payment experience that is simple enough, familiar, and easy to use—like how they swipe cards or scan QR codes every day. @WalletConnect

The sensible country kids always help their parents. So adorable 🤣🤣🤣

Institutional adoption should not be judged by the number of logos on announcements. We must look at what each organization represents in the financial system. With @zksync, the proof points are quite clear: -> Cari Network 5 U.S. regional banks, over $600B in deposits, founded by Eugene Ludwig, 27th U.S. Comptroller of the Currency. This is not a random crypto founder. This is someone who has been in a position to deeply understand what banks need before moving financial workflows to new infrastructure: privacy, compliance, control, and verifiable settlement. -> BitGo Institutional custody is integrated with Prividium. For institutional funds, custody is not a side feature. It is a major layer of trust. -> Deutsche Bank Memento ZK Chain shows that large financial institutions are seriously exploring the use of ZK infrastructure for private environments. -> ADI Chain Live with First Abu Dhabi Bank. Institutional adoption only truly matters when there is a running system, not just slides. -> 35+ institutions actively evaluating If this number continues to grow, the story is no longer about a few isolated cases. It starts to look like a forming network. And networks in finance do not grow linearly. A new institution does not just add 1 user. It adds a possible new counterparty for the entire rest of the network. -> 10 institutions create 45 possible connections -> 100 institutions create 4,950 possible connections This is how large financial networks grow. SWIFT or Visa don’t scale because of a single participant, but because each new participant makes the network more useful for all other participants. In this context, $ZK should be understood correctly in its current role. Not as price talk. -> $ZK is the only native asset of the ZKsync network -> $ZK is the governance token for network-level decisions such as protocol upgrades, fee structures, and economic parameters -> $ZK is the native gas token for ZKsync Gateway, the layer that aggregates transactions from ZKsync chains and Prividium zones before posting to Ethereum L1 -> $ZK has a fixed supply of 21B and no inflation Any changes to economic functions, if any, will depend on governance and should not be speculated on prematurely. If institutions are building on the same network, then $ZK should be viewed in the context of network architecture, not as a standalone ticker.
