Aether Pay

Aether Pay is the programmable settlement layer of the Aether Network, enabling value to move automatically and intelligently on-chain. Instead of users manually sending transactions or relying on centralized payment processors, value transfer becomes embedded directly into smart contracts. This allows payments to execute on rules, conditions, or triggers — not human intervention.

Aether Pay supports cross-chain payment flows, allowing users and applications to send or receive funds across multiple blockchain networks seamlessly. This ensures that value movement is not restricted to a single chain, and unlocks a future where users can transact across ecosystems without switching wallets, bridges, or infrastructure.

Beyond simple transfers, Aether Pay enables continuous value streaming — where users can pay per second, per block, or per event. This supports new business models such as pay-per-use software, streaming salaries, real-time creator monetization, automated billing, and granular micro-commerce. Payments become fluid, not batch-based.

Aether Pay also enables subscription payments and conditional logic such as “pay only if X condition is met.” This means contracts can automatically settle based on outcomes, milestones, performance metrics, or identity checks. The result is a financial system where settlement becomes an automatic state update — not a manual act.

By turning payments into code, Aether Pay transforms how money moves in Web3. Payments become trustless, continuous, cross-chain, event-driven, and interoperable with identity and custody primitives. Financial automation becomes natively possible — allowing smart contracts, protocols, and applications to transact with each other autonomously, securely, and at internet speed.
