Ever wondered how a global wallet like Blink scans local, proprietary QR codes at retailers like Pick n Pay? 🇿🇦⚡️
It’s all thanks to a "hacky" yet brilliant Lightning Address-based integration that uses just 3 lines of code. No complex third-party APIs — just open-source permissionless innovation meeting merchants where they’re at.
