Cryptocurrency continues to make mainstream inroads through innovative solutions. For example, the revamped PIP.me service makes it easier for users to create their personalized profile page for Web3 purposes. In addition, it supports crypto payment buttons, displaying NFTs, and social media integration.
PIP.me Keeps Evolving
The initial PIP.me service has proven relatively successful. It primarily revolved around accepting cryptocurrency payments without sharing complex wallet addresses. For example, users could set up a dedicated payment button to have others send them money. With support for Solana-based transactions and currencies – including SOL, USDC, SERUM, etc. – the platform was off to a solid start.
From the get-go, PIP.me would integrate support for other blockchain networks. Not just for payments but also to unlock the potential of Web3 technology. With PIP.me 2.0, that Web3-oriented vision has become more outspoken. The service goes beyond traditional payments and provides customizable eWeb3 pages to everyone.
PIP CEO Jeff Baek states:
“PIP.ME connects online identity with crypto payments so that anyone can interact financially with people across the globe, fostering a global micropayment economy.”
More Functionality For Users
The initial mission of PIP – changing how people accept cryptocurrency payments – has been successful. The next objective is to take users to a higher level by letting them personalize their profile pages. More importantly, users can access this expanded functionality without having web knowledge. Onboarding millions of users remains crucial to the broader Web3 narrative, but it is a tall order.
With PIP.me 2.0, users can explore various new options. Initial support for the PIP.me addresses remains unchanged. However, there is is support for payment links across mobile and desktop, an option to display social media accounts and personal links, and embedding single NFT assets or collections. Those NFTs are sourced from all significant NFT marketplaces, including Solana’s Magic Eden and Ethereum’s OpenSea.
Users who have set up personalized profile pages through other services – like LinkTree – can easily migrate their links to PIP.me. It is a welcome change for those active in the decentralized creator economy. Having a personalized eWeb3 page is the next step in the industry’s evolution.
