Our first report looks at how teams on public chains pay people today, where money waits the longest, and which payouts benefit most from moving continuously.

We grouped payouts into five families (payroll, creator deals, marketplace escrow, contributor rewards and treasury moves) and looked at where each one loses time.

Key findings

  • Calendar delays outweigh network delays in almost every flow.
  • Escrow is where disputes and support costs concentrate.
  • Splits are usually handled by hand, by one trusted person.
