One thing I’ve noticed with money apps is that getting money into your account is just one part of the experience. What happens after that matters just as much. That’s one of the things Pulsar is working on with Arc, and I found their latest Arc House guest post, Beyond the First Transaction: Building Pulsar on Arc, worth looking into. Pulsar is building a money app that connects stablecoins with everyday financial activities, from sending money and spending with a card to trading and earning rewards. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Here’s the catch for me: - Why Arc? Its USDC-based fees and predictable transaction settlement help Pulsar manage costs and show users when their transactions are complete. - One connected experience: Users can fund their accounts, convert currencies, spend with cards, trade, and redeem rewards. - Rewards that make sense: Pulsar Points connect users’ activities to cashback and other benefits. - What’s next? Pulsar plans to add Pulsar Earn using Morpho’s lending infrastructure and curated vault strategies. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ One lesson for builders is simple: making a transaction work is only the beginning. The whole experience needs to make sense to the user. Arc provides the foundation, while Pulsar works on making digital dollars more useful in everyday life.
