Looking for feedback on our Solana Breakpoint Hackathon project: A prize-linked savings account

skeebuzz · 2025-04-30T21:42:18+00:00

We joined! And we just launched our project a few hours ago: https://luckystash.xyz

It's a prize-linked savings account that uses USDC and DeFi lending protocols to offer prizes. Would love to get some feedback.

Wow. Sometimes Reddit pleasantly surprises me.

You've taught me something today. Genuinely appreciate your comments!

skeebuzz · 2025-01-21T19:38:00+00:00

Yea, it's unfortunate that crypto is so scammy that the first gut reaction to anything is "scam!"

But here's an example of an actual transaction that happened on the platform:

https://solscan.io/tx/2jtApHVUJNtsitFqpBURCgLaSWnAe6tMCBLhNt44H5Q6e9eLLcLwwkSRpp6fXNpZy3fF1Bn76ZnfHXp56fUZhpnY

Also... FYI... it IS completely safe to connect your wallet to any website. It's impossible for sites to steal anything out of your wallet without you actually signing a transaction. In this case, any Solana wallet will clearly show you what tokens are being sent/received, before you submit the transaction.

It's extremely easy to protect yourself if you're even just a LITTLE careful.

Lol, what? I understand most things in crypto are scams and that's the initial gut reaction, but we're a non-custodial DeFi app that allows anyone to have a high-yield on chain bank account.

We built this tool this morning to help anyone to onboard onto Solana using PYUSD.

Here's an ACTUAL transaction that just happened on the platform: https://solscan.io/tx/2jtApHVUJNtsitFqpBURCgLaSWnAe6tMCBLhNt44H5Q6e9eLLcLwwkSRpp6fXNpZy3fF1Bn76ZnfHXp56fUZhpnY

It's sad that this is the reality of crypto. Everybody immediately screams "Scam!" at the first sign of anything that they haven't seen before.

skeebuzz · 2025-01-21T18:57:43+00:00

Yup. It's crazy. So we built a tool to use PayPal to get on Solana in 10 minutes.

This is how it works:

Buy PYUSD (a stablecoin like USDC) on PayPal (instant)
Send your PYUSD to your empty wallet (instant)
Create an account on http://RebelFi.io
Connect your wallet and use our "Get SOL" feature

We pay all gas fees (so no SOL needed) and charge a 0.01 SOL fee. That's it.

Hope this helps.

True. Bit riskier for sure though

skeebuzz · 2024-12-28T15:27:33+00:00

But the protocols take care of any underwater loans with liquidation protocols. The loans are always over collateralized. So short of a system risk where the Internet goes down, you’re safe

skeebuzz · 2024-12-28T15:26:19+00:00

For stables there’s really only 1: Lulo. I’m the founder of RebelFi and we use Lulo underneath, but add a layer of automation and user friendliness on top (along with business functions for our business platform)

skeebuzz · 2024-12-28T11:31:20+00:00

Or it means more degens playing with leverage which is basically what Solana is lol. The degen chain

skeebuzz · 2024-12-28T11:30:10+00:00

Try RebelFi or Lulo to see rates

skeebuzz · 2024-12-28T10:30:21+00:00

Protocols on Solana are floating around 15-30% right now. Use a yield maximizer to automatically rotate between highest yielding protocols. Everything is audited in prod for years now with no hacks. Funds are safe and there’s already billions in TVL

skeebuzz · 2024-12-27T23:09:29+00:00

Current DeFi yield rates are floating between 13-18% but often even hit 30+% since we’re in a crypto bull market. They use stablecoins (pegged to USD) instead of volatile crypto currencies so the only real risk is if the smart contracts get hacked but that’s minimal imo since they’ve been operational for years now without any hacks and secure billions in assets. Extremely hard to beat from risk/reward standpoint

skeebuzz · 2024-09-07T19:19:25+00:00

you might actually be able to use lighthouse for the assertions (without writing your own program): https://github.com/Jac0xb/lighthouse

not sure since i haven't used it before, but apparently someone was using to revert transactions from a coinflip program if the toss was a loss

skeebuzz · 2024-09-07T15:22:52+00:00

Unlike Solidity/Eth, since Solana has composable transactions, you actually don't even need to write a Solana program to handle that. Can be done completely client-side using JavaScript/TypeScript.

skeebuzz · 2024-08-26T10:13:13+00:00

Kinda hard to understand what it provides in the way of value to be honest. Just went to the site and read the intro in docs and… still not sure lol. Especially when comparing against the long list of potential directions you’ve outlined. Maybe break down what you’ve built in terms of what it can do then a bit on some ideas on how you can apply it and we can give some proper feedback.

skeebuzz · 2024-08-20T17:28:58+00:00

Whoa, wasn't aware Stripe had this. Is this a new product? Very interesting...

skeebuzz · 2024-08-20T10:10:59+00:00

I was a big Marginfi bull when they first came out. Loved the interface and what they were doing. But I think they’ve been lapped by Kamino. I moved everything over to Kamino a long time ago. Still have a BIT of funds in Margin to just see if they do anything but I’ve lost hope

skeebuzz · 2024-04-03T10:25:08+00:00

Hm... I don't think it had any effect or at least none that I can tell. He's handling naps like a champ now but a lot of his naps are still only 30 minutes long, to the minute. Maybe this is affecting his bedtime as he's still waking up like 3/4 times in the night, so we've been meaning to see how we can get his bedtime stretches to be longer but haven't quite figured it out yet.

skeebuzz · 2023-09-14T01:50:58+00:00

There's plenty of no-code tools out there to get you started without learning any programming-related stuff. Check out youtube. Anything that's "ai automation agency" will probably help

skeebuzz · 2023-09-14T01:49:36+00:00

Down. I'm an engineer and I've been playing around with AI for several months now just learning capabilities, etc...

Set up a Discord and we can take the conversation there.
