Streampay

**Streampay** is a programmable, linear payment protocol built on the **Arc Network**. It allows you to send money (specifically **USDC**) over a fixed period of time, where the balance "unlocks" and becomes available to the recipient every second, rather than in one lump sum. ### ## **How it Works** * **Continuous Flow:** Instead of waiting for the end of the month, a recipient sees their balance tick up in real-time (e.g., at 100ms intervals). * **Gasless Claims:** Leveraging the **Hash PayLink** relayer, recipients can withdraw their unlocked funds to their wallet for **$0 gas** by simply signing a message. * **On-Chain Security:** Funds are held in a secure, audited **StreamVault** smart contract. The sender can cancel the stream at any time to refund unearned funds, while the recipient can withdraw what they’ve earned whenever they want. Stateless Invoicing: Every stream has a unique URL that contains the "Reason for Stream" (like "April Salary" or "Freelance Gig"), making it a self-contained, transparent financial agreement. Core Use Cases Web3 Payroll: Pay contributors and employees by the second. * **Vesting:** Automate token or stablecoin releases for founders and investors. * **Subscriptions:** Stream payments for services as they are consumed. * **Freelance Escrow:** Build trust by letting clients see the money "earning" as work progresses.
