Big raise from @useTria, but the interesting bit isn’t the $12M it’s whether they’ve actually compressed spend/trade/earn into one self-custodial flow that doesn’t feel like “crypto homework.” The clue is BestPath: not a vanilla aggregator, but an intents marketplace where Pathfinders form micro-markets and compete on cost/speed/security. That market design is why routes should keep getting cheaper and faster over time, and why it can power card spends, swaps, and even yield repayments without you touching bridges or gas. Early product surface looks real, not vapor. The card stack is Visa-powered, live across 150+ countries, top-ups from 1000+ tokens, and premium tiers list $1M/day spend i.e., actual retail rails, not a demo wallet. They’ve shipped beyond hello-world too: Unchained/BestPath rolled into Injective last year useful proof they can integrate at L1/L2 scale. And yes, the funding is official as of Oct 14, 2025 pre-seed + strategic to scale the neobank + infra. --- ❯ Quick test: swap an EVM asset → Solana in and watch for no gas prompts + a single final price that matches “best execution.” ❯ Reality check: watch route latency, card acceptance edge cases, and whether Earn truly auto-reduces card balances as usage scales. Against CeFi cards you keep custody; against wallet+bridge stacks you skip manual hops. If BestPath’s incentives hold, UX should feel CEX-instant without CEX risk. I’m tracking fill latency, failure modes, and fee deltas over the next 90 days if you try the card or a cross-VM swap, tell me what broke.
