Merchants deserve better — a new system with no middlemen, high fees, or long delays in commercial transactions.
The future of commerce is onchain.

♢ Decentralized stores for products and services
♢ NFT-based slicer ownership
♢ The first tradable tokens with an objective value
Read along 🧵 and RT if you think this changes everything ✨
Open source is the foundation of software development, but is often not sustainable for maintainers and contributors. It’s a problem as old as the internet, and today we’re solving it for good.
Introducing: Merge to earn
Ending the year with a bang.
Slice recently powered the onchain checkout experience at
@base
House in Miami.
Hundreds of people bought coffee and merch, online and onsite, seamlessly from their wallets.
And everyone realised that onchain commerce is here to stay.
Rolling out a few more Builder Grants before the end of the year. More to come in 2024!

The Slice subgraph acts as an open API for sellers to track product purchases and availability, as well as build custom experiences for their customers.
It's the foundation of the whole ecosystem 🚀

Getting price quotes from on-chain oracles is often challenging or expensive. But it doesn't have to be.
Introducing a novel decentralized price feed based on

V3 TWAP oracles
the most obvious future state of interactive content:

no more external links. no more forms. user info and shipping address in the near future will be built in to our onchain identities.
and affiliate attribution is clear.

Here's how to set yourself up in 1 minute:
- Create a slicer and give 50% ownership to GrimesAI.eth (link in next tweet)
- Direct payments to the slicer address
- Profit
Base House was a huge success. Slice processed:
🧾 465 gasless purchases between cafe and merch store
☕️ 306 coffees ordered at tables and at the counter
🧢 289 merch items sold onsite - 233 as Base Hunt prizes
🚚 83 items purchased online
Onchain, on
@BuildOnBase
Slice integration with
@juiceboxETH
makes it so that all ETH earned by the protocol flows directly into the treasury, while minting $SLX governance tokens to users.
This allows for decentralized ownership by design, as the users will become the owners of the protocol as it grows
@QwQiao
I’m constantly impressed by the level of custom treasury designs you can build on top of
@juiceboxETH
. Add
@jokedao_
and
@slice__so
on top to have more mechanics and there’s no telling all the possibilities
Slice is pioneering on-chain commerce, but it's the projects built on it that push the boundaries of what's possible.
With the latest features introduced, there has never been a better time to discover the power of decentralized stores. Let's dive in 🍰
Announcing: Dynamic prices and VRGDAs ⚡️
Products can now be priced with VRGDAs or custom pricing strategies. If you spot a ⚡️ beside the price, it means it’s dynamic!

- Pioneering merchants that want the best experience (and lowest costs) for them and their customers

This week Slice powered a cafe in Argentina, selling drinks onchain to +100 customers in 2 hours.
Merchant loved the experience, while young people kept coming non-stop excited by the tech.

Important to note: Merge to earn uses smart contracts to make this possible, but it's NOT just for web3 folks.
While we'd love to see chads like
@wagmi_sh
or devs at
@developer_dao

@AlchemyLearn
adopting it, MTE is a tool for projects of all kinds (private ones included).
i am so bullish on slice(dot)so and will proceed to cook with them indefinitely
onchain attributions at the point of sale will usher in the loyalty points economy and be able to help real world businesses understand and reward their consumers
early days but bullish that this…
Merge to earn (MTE) is a GitHub app to automate rewarding contributors with a slice of ownership over a project and its earnings, when pull requests are merged.
It enables a transparent, equitable reward system for collaborative development in any repo.
Nope, it's official.
@stripe
de-platformed us for using

Tickets.
Some things are so incredibly stupid, yet, they happen anyway.
I'd say, "My next company will destroy theirs" but really, I'm not here to build new banks.
Open to ticket ideas!
We're in the middle of onchain summer, so we did something to celebrate 🟡
Slice has landed on Base! So you get all the benefits of decentralized stores at a fraction of the cost compared to Ethereum
We can't wait to see what you'll create, but to kick things off..

YouTube shaped the creator economy with the Partner Program in 2017, but is letting community builders make it their own with the launch of web3 functionality in 2022.

Did you know you can use slicers to split payments based on number of NFTs (slices 🍰) owned?
We call this dynamic splitting and it's the foundation of d-stores and the protocol itself. Learn more 👇
Over 300 guests including builders and policymakers attended the

Spent the last year innovating at onchain commerce w/
@slice__so
at
@CoinbaseWallet
. From internal pop-ups, to Base Cafe @ ETH Paris & Art Basel, and now cookies @ ETH Denver.
Experience is gasless, one-click, and so simple. 100% onchain.
Scaling to more shops in '24. 🍪☕️

Hey merchants! Ditch the calculator; we've got magic 🧚
Export your sales data to a sleek CSV with just one click. Because selling onchain is cool, but so is keeping the taxman happy 😎

Many of you already know Slice since they powered the onchain checkout experience at Base House in Miami.
Slice is also the infrastructure on which we will launch an open nounish marketplace powered by $NOGS.

SaaS system that will automatically split funds received into desginated wallets. e.g. Have a multi-author piece on OpenSea?
Use slice to split the revenue from secondary sales without having to get back to it all the time.

You can now use shortcodes in the product purchase instructions
Use it to customise links or change your text description based on the buyer or the units purchased
The real value of decentralized commerce lies in it being permissionless and composable with the ecosystem it's built on.
The ability of purchasing stuff on-chain is still massively underrated, and many don't know it's already possible on Slice.
MTE can be added to any repo without disrupting existing workflows, while project owners can use custom Github options and permissions to fit their needs.
See it in action on this PR:
Onchain summer is over, but we're just getting started.
The Base Genesis NFT gives you exclusive access to upcoming deals from Slice and partners.

If the

- Smooth mint/checkout experience
- Efficient via ERC721A (2 mints for 145k gas)
- Limit of 2 per address with support for allowlist

Installation
Merge to earn relies on Slicers and Gnosis
@safe
to respectively split project ownership and execute approved requests.
Installing it on a repo takes seconds on .
fairly convinced that seamless on-chain commerce is near.
i just minted both digitally and IRL the Based corduroy hat powered by
@slice
and
@coinbasewallet
. it was such a magical experience... comparable to shopify tbh.
fairly excited about this new stack powering embedded…
What if projects could send part of their earnings to their dependencies? How valuable would open source libraries become?
Merge to earn projects can natively compose on each other, as well as with any smart contract.
The question is then not if, but when.
We're truly excited at the impact Merge to earn could have in web3, open source development and beyond.
We can't wait to see how you'll use it, and help you make the most of it.
Are you ready to contribute, anon? 🫡
We're thankful to Coinbase, especially

GR14! 🍰
Building open protocols is hard. If you wish for a future where commerce is fully decentralized, consider contributing to our grant.
Even a few DAI goes a long way 🙏
How it works
1. Open a pull request
2. Comment to request a % of the project as reward
3. Receive it once the PR is merged
Maintainers verify a request is adequate, and once the PR is merged the MTE bot automatically proposes a transaction on the project's Gnosis Safe.
Here's how:
1. Set up a d-store on
2. Create a product to represent the item + optionally execute on-chain logic upon purchase (eg mint NFT)
3. Track purchases on subgraph or Slice contracts
Fully on-chain, purchases get linked to buyers' addresses
Slices — Tradable tokens with an objective value
♢ Semi-Fungible Tokens (ERC1155), aka fractionalized NFTs
♢ Used to subdivide the ownership of a slicer
♢ Give the right to redeem any due ETH, proportionally to owned slices
♢ Can be transferred / sold on Opensea
Our goals for Q1 2024
- Grant selected merchants access to the fastest and most advanced checkout experience
- Equip cafes, retail stores and ecommerces with tools to easily bring their businesses onchain
- Level up the looks, features and overall experience on Slice website
