Hello World!

Greetings and welcome to the my blog!. I am Joan, a software engineer and blockchain enthusiast. I am passionate about building decentralized applications (dApps) that are secure, transparent, and open to all. One of the best use cases in my opinion, is payments.

This blog is a place where I will share my knowledge and experience with the community.

Unlocking New Possibilities

With crypto, one can not only invest in the latest dog-coin, or buy a piece of a digital rock, but also build a new generation of applications that are more inclusive, transparent and secure. At Decaf, we're doing just that.

Imagine a world where anyone can send money to anyone else, anywhere in the world, instantly and at a low cost, where anyone can participate. Offramping to cash in the local currency? no problem.

Solana: Building Scalable and User-Friendly dApps

Solana has emerged as a leading blockchain platform, offering unrivaled scalability, high throughput, and low fees. If you're eager to build next-generation dApps that can handle a massive volume of transactions, Solana is the perfect playground for you.

In our upcoming guides, we won't talk about the basics, since there's a lot of resources out there that cover these. Instead, I'm going to focus more on the nitty-gritty details of building dApps on Solana, including how to create a wallet, how to send and receive transactions, and how to build a swap. In addition, I'll provide a mobile app starter framework built on React Native and TypeScript, so you can hit the ground running.

Stellar: Empowering Cross-Border Payments and More

Stellar, on the other hand, shines as a versatile blockchain platform, focused on cross-border payments and token issuance. Its lightning-fast transaction processing and built-in decentralized exchange capabilities make it a preferred choice for financial applications.

Stay tuned as we uncover the potential of Stellar in our future guides. We'll also go through the process of creating a wallet, sending and receiving transactions, and building a swap on Stellar. We'll also explore and build a swap and sponsored transactions, to provide a better user experience. We'll also go through the process of integrating a cash offramp with Moneygram in Typescript.
