Zebec Network

Zebec builds payment streaming on Solana — money moving continuously in real time rather than in discrete transfers. Payroll paid by the second rather than the month is the illustrative case, and it is only possible where transaction costs approach zero.

Streaming requires near-zero transaction cost

Continuous payment means many tiny transfers, which is uneconomic on any chain with meaningful fees. Solana's cost structure is what makes the concept viable at all, and it is a genuine example of a design that could not exist on more expensive networks.

Where continuous payment is actually useful

Payroll that accrues in real time, subscriptions that stop precisely when cancelled, vesting that releases continuously rather than at cliffs, and contractor payments that track work performed. Each removes a mismatch between when value is created and when it is paid.

The obstacle is institutional, not technical

Payroll systems, accounting practice, tax withholding and employment law are all built around periodic payment. Streaming works technically and requires the surrounding infrastructure to accommodate it, which is a much slower change than deploying a contract.

Vesting is the most natural fit

Token vesting with cliff dates creates predictable supply shocks. Continuous release smooths that entirely, and it is a use case within crypto's own control rather than requiring external institutions to change. That makes it the most likely place adoption starts.

Who it suits

Projects handling vesting and organisations paying contractors who want payment to track work. Broader payroll adoption depends on institutional change rather than on the technology.
