Credit-backed, Capital-efficient, and Instant payments for any service, web3 or traditional.
Problem
Any service deployed on web3 rails lack a capital-efficient, cheap, and non-custodial way to pay in real time.
Current workarounds lead to:
- Centralized trust
- Fragmented liquidity
- Locked capital (capital inefficiency)
- UX & regulatory friction
The result: per-task billing is nearly impossible at scale → slowed adoption.
Case Study: AVSs (e.g., Aligned Layer)
- Aligned offers ultra-cheap verification costs
- Aligned cost: $0.019 vs payment gas fee: $0.14
- Transaction gas fees are 8x higher than the service cost
- Payment limitations prevent scaling
