# Welcome

The greater part of the crypto industry rests on social experiences and interpersonal relationships. Social media, such as Discord and Telegram, also play a great role in fostering this communal nature.

There are several instances where crypto natives have had to make payments on these social media platforms. The reasons are numerous: showing appreciation, supporting a creator, settling a transaction, or simply giving out of good will.

However, there has been no native and simple means of payment to do this unless payers request wallet address and go through the whole stress of making a transaction either on a CEX or DEX.

There is a popular saying: Necessity is the mother of invention.

Degens have faced this problem for too long, and there must be a solution. Interestingly, there is a solution, and @pay is the solution!
