6) Here are some example painpoints: A wants to send USDC to B. They've transacted before -- A knows B's SOL address is X. But they still have to ask B for their USDC address. And if B hasn't taken USDC to X before, they have to _create_ a USDC account first.

7) This is true even if you're A and B. You can't just store your SOL address somewhere and send tokens to it; you need to keep looking up different addresses for different tokens.

10) So now you can use the flow you're used to: all you need is someone's SOL address and you can send them any SPL token. And all you need to give someone is your SOL address.

12) Another recent UX update: on dex.projectserum.com, if you auto-accept transactions, the DEX will auto-settle. (If you don't know what that means, great! It's a button you used to have to click to settle DEX trades.)

13) One annoying thing: right now their SOL account has to have already gotten its first-ever SOL deposit. This will probably be cleaned up in a later push. Another UX thing that would be great: tiny SOL airdrops for new users to get started. Hopefully someone will do it!
