We're working hard to make paying with crypto the best way to pay online. It's gotten faster and cheaper to send global payments with Base. Now we need to remove more intermediate steps. In the ideal world, every payment is under 1 second and 1 cent, and it's a one tap checkout.

If you're a NFT project that is supposed to start your mint today I strongly, strongly, recommend you delay until Solana validator clock drift is fixed. If the cluster time is wrong you could have all sorts of timing issues resulting in your users being hit with anti-bot fees.
