In this fourth entry, we delve into the world of streaming finance, a breakthrough concept that revolutionizes how consumers (C2A) and Agents (A2A) transact in real time. Powered by stablecoins and enhanced by Wedi's programmable wallets, streaming finance ensures continuous, micro-based flows instead of lump-sum or time-delayed payments.
A Shift Toward Continuous Payments
Traditionally, payments were batch-processed or triggered manually at fixed intervals. Streaming finance replaces this with constant, uninterrupted flows:
- Micro installments that accumulate seamlessly over time
- Automated disbursements to multiple Agents or sub-Agents
- Transparent, real-time tracking of transaction status
With Wedi Agents, these streams can be toggled based on AI-identified thresholds, usage triggers, or user-defined schedules.
Key Advantages of Streaming Finance
1. Real-Time Settlements
- No delays between initiating a payment and its receipt
- Near-instant settlement on stablecoin rails ensures minimal counterparty risk
2. Precision in Usage-Based Billing
- Pay exactly for AI tokens used, compute minutes, or service durations
- Fine-tuned micropayment flows align cost with real-time consumption
3. Scalable Micropayments
- Sub-$1 transactions become feasible thanks to low stablecoin fees
- Batch settlement behind the scenes optimizes FX spreads and operational costs
"Streaming finance with Wedi Agents cut our overhead by 30%. We pay only for what we use, in real time."
