The "Smart Paycheck" Revolution: Imagine getting paid by the second instead of the month. In 2026, many Web3 companies use "Streaming Payments." As you work, tiny fractions of a cent flow into your wallet in real-time. You don't have to wait for "Payday Friday" to buy groceries. If you quit or finish a task, the stream stops. It’s the ultimate form of fair pay, and it’s all handled by a simple, automated smart contract.
