Singapore empowers its people to use ETH in their everyday life

I have been wanting to try something out for a while. Grab, the super app in Singapore (that’s like UberEats, if that helps you to visualise the context better) has partnered with Triple A, a crypto payment platform. So, we can top up our wallet with ETH.

I had a free period at school, so instead of shitposting, I decided to test it out to see if it was really legit. So I initiated a test transaction of SGD$5.

Then, I pasted my Grab wallet’s ETH address on my MetaMask wallet. Honestly, the gas fees weren’t the most favourite this morning, but I still consider it as chump change. So I went ahead with the transaction.

You know the lump in your throat whenever you are anxious about whether something will materialise. Yes, I felt that and more. Thankfully, I didn’t have to wait too long because the ETH arrived safe and sound in my Grab wallet.

It’s a crying shame that I cannot show you all the pictures I took in the process, but I think the screenshot of how my wallet was beefed up with my ETH is evidence enough.

I’m really excited that I can use ETH to order food takeout or hail a cab via GRAB. You know, all those everyday stuff! I wish ETH will be similarly adopted in your country too.
