"Gift cards are like the original stablecoin of stored value. You give Walmart $100, they give you $100 of Walmart cash." @GBousis, CEO of @RaiseApp, on why they're rebuilding the $400B gift card industry on Solana with stablecoins:

@GBousis @MelchBD @RaiseApp 🙌🙌

@MelchBD @RaiseNetwork_ @RaiseApp Much love man. Thanks for always supporting.

The crypto industry needs more real businesses like @RaiseNetwork_ @RaiseApp @GBousis crushing it as always This vid fired me up!

"In @RaiseApp, you can use Solana to pay for your uber ride and automatically apply the Uber credit to your ride"

Security isn't a reaction - it's a foundation. At Raise, SmartCards were designed from the ground up with this in mind. Cryptographic ownership replaces static credentials, every transaction requires signature-based authorization, and our platform has been independently audited by Halborn and Sec3. We think about security every day - not just when incidents occur.
