Progress Report:

The 7th week was certainly the toughest, with a dozen emails sent to stripe’s developer support team, and atleast 25 messages on Gelato and Safe’s discord.

• The week’s start, like the previous week, was quite smooth. I began by writing a basic NFT minting smart contract, which was am ERC721enumrable token, with a setTokenURI functionality added to it, similar to ERC721storage.

• I was then able to integrate Gelato’s relay and 1balance to make minting the transactions gasless after a day of debugging and support from their discover channel.

• After this is when I hit a major roadblock. As I tried to integrate stripe’s onramp API, I got to know that its access is limited to the US.

• After a dozen emails exchanged with the dev-support, we were able to come to a solution and were able to get the onramp working for dollars to USDC(PoS) on polygon conversion. All other conversions were not available in the test mode.

• The major chunk felt done, until I got an “approve” function does not exist while calling it on the USDC token.

• The last day of this day was spent debugging this error and not making an significant inroads.

Overall, by solving all these dependencies, I was able to understand the value of a good developer support experience, and got better at articulating my queries.

Next Steps:

• Debug the “approve” does not exist error on a priority basis.

• Integrate the onramp flow to add USDC to the wallet.

• Add alerts to track status of the gasless transactions

• Make UX improvements and make the product ready for deployment

• Ship, ship, ship!
