Web3 creative platform [Manifold Studio](https://manifold.xyz) now supports creation on the low-cost, lightning-fast Ethereum L2 blockchain powered by [Optimism](https://optimism.io). Deploy smart contracts and create NFTs at a fraction of the cost typical for Ethereum Mainnet. And Optimism brings support for payment by credit card, Apple Pay and Google Wallet, powered by [Crossmint](https://crossmint.com).

_As announced on Twitter:_

Pay by Card Options
-------------------

The credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Wallet payment flow, by Crossmint, is extremely well done, and automatically sets up a custodial wallet for users who are new to web3:
