I’ve been busy bootstrapping PromptBase to 450k+ users
But I was burning $9,400/mo in opaque Stripe fees for seller payouts
So today I’m launching Zoneless: an open-source clone of Stripe Connect using USDC
Identical API, except payouts cost $0.002
I’ve romptBase for 3 months:
- 2,200+ sellers onboarded
- 1,400+ payouts completed
- $9.4k/mo in Stripe fees → ~$5/mo
- 73% of sellers chose Zoneless over Stripe

400 GitHub stars! ⭐
The payment rails are open and free now.
So why is the software built on top of them so closed?
Let's change that.

Back to building now 🫡
