GigStream

GigStream is an innovative AI-powered real-time USDC payment streaming platform designed to revolutionize the gig economy, built on Circle's Arc blockchain. In a world where gig workers face frustrating payment delays—often waiting days or weeks for earnings—GigStream eliminates this pain by automating instant micro-payments as tasks are completed. Leveraging AI for intelligent task verification, risk scoring, and predictive financial optimization, the platform ensures sub-second settlements directly to workers' wallets, fostering financial stability and inclusion. At its core, GigStream offers real-time payment streaming, where workers get paid per task or per minute, not monthly. AI-driven predictive micro-loans allow safe advances on future earnings, auto-repaid from upcoming tasks, with risk-adjusted fees. An on-chain reputation system provides transparent, portable credit scores, enabling workers to build trust across platforms. Additional features include automated tax and expense tracking for compliance, multi-wallet management for flexible fund routing, and dynamic job routing for optimized opportunities. Technically, the monorepo architecture spans smart contracts (Solidity on Arc), a backend (Node.js, Cloudflare Workers, PostgreSQL), and a frontend (Next.js, React). Circle's Developer-Controlled Wallets handle secure, gasless USDC transfers, while AI models run on Cloudflare Workers for edge computing.
