Currently, sending a transaction to anyone on the internet requires knowing the recipient's wallet address and waiting for them to provide it. This process can be time-consuming and error-prone, particularly for new users unfamiliar with blockchain technology. There's a significant risk of losing funds by mistakenly sending them to the wrong address or blockchain. Pay on Tweets addresses this problem by leveraging social media accounts, specifically Twitter, to facilitate transactions. Users only need access to the recipient's Twitter account. By entering the receiver's tweet URL (or use our extension to avoid copy pasting), specifying the amount, and hit send, the funds are securely stored in a smart contract on the blockchain. The recipient can then withdraw the funds by logging in with their Twitter account. This method ensures a seamless and secure transaction process, eliminating the needs for blockchain expertise.

There are a lot of web developers, but not many websites use crypto. One reason I found, by asking my peers, is that it's very hard to implement crypto transactions on a website. They need to learn a new language to write smart contracts, and they'll need to handle everything from wallet connection to payment status. SO WE THOUGHT TO SOLVE IT!! We built an NPM package that acts as a crypto payment gateway. All you need to do is download the package and call a function.
