Leila was a freelancer who worked for clients around the world. She had clients in the United States, Canada, France, and Australia. Leila's clients always paid her through PayPal or wire transfers which often took up to three days to clear. The long wait times meant that Leila had to postpone important payments like rent, phone bills, and groceries. She wished she could receive payment in real-time so that she could pay her bills on time.
Then one day, Leila heard about Web3, a new technology that used blockchain to enable real-time payments. She was interested in Web3 because it promised to provide fast, secure, and cheap transactions. She decided to test it out. She opened a Web3 wallet and sent an invoice to her client in Canada. Within minutes, she received payment in her wallet. She was pleasantly surprised. She could now pay her bills on time and save money on expensive wire transfer fees!
Leila's experience illustrates a common problem faced by freelancers, small businesses, and individuals around the world. Traditional payment methods are slow, expensive, and cumbersome. Web3 promises to solve this problem by providing a decentralized, secure, and fast payment infrastructure that can be accessed by anyone with an internet connection.
