TipStream — Tiny tips, big impact.
About
The problem it solves Micropayments are broken in Web3, fans want to support creators with small tips like $0.10 or $1, but gas fees make it impractical. Instant tipping becomes expensive, leading to fewer tips and lost income for creators. For example, tipping $0.50 with $1 in gas is a 200% loss, creating poor UX for fans and reducing engagement.
How it's made
Challenges we ran into One challenge was handling gas fees for very small payments without making tipping expensive. I also faced technical issues with ChatAndBuild, such as terminal errors during builds, and had to troubleshoot contract integration with the Scaffold-ETH 2 frontend.
