Quick heads up if you're using Solana for payments—there's a crucial difference you need to know.

Solana Pay is its own protocol. It's NOT just sending SOL or USDC through the Solana network like a normal transaction. Some platforms only recognize the Solana Pay format, not standard transfers.

Most wallets already have Solana Pay built in. Just double-check you're selecting the right payment method before confirming. Otherwise, your transaction might not go through, even though the network itself works fine.

Small detail, but it matters when your payment's on the line.

SOL4.91%

USDC0.02%

So many people are still falling into this trap, choosing the wrong payment method is really a disaster.

It's another one of those hidden format traps; how many people have lost money from choosing the wrong protocol? --- The Solana Pay protocol once again successfully pretends to be a normal transfer; it's truly an art of mechanism design. --- At 3 AM, when I discovered the money hadn't arrived, I remembered I had chosen the wrong payment method; this is the midnight tax. --- Protocols are like invisible liquidity traps; if you're not careful, it's really easy to lose some money. --- So there should be two buttons in the wallet: one that actually works and one that's just there to trick you. Classic. --- Little details kill; most people won't even think about the "format" before making a payment.

Another detail that's easy to fall into a pitfall: Solana Pay is really different from regular transfers.
