Use cases are depending on service and builders, here are few sample real use cases I can think of...

Paid APIs (big one)

• Pay per request instead of monthly subscription
• Example: AI tools, data APIs, analytics

AI agents paying for services

• AI buys data, images, compute, content on its own
• No human needed in the loop

Pay-per-article / content

• Unlock a post for $0.01–$0.10 instantly
• No account needed

Premium features in apps

• Pay small amounts to unlock features
• No subscription commitment

Bots / automation

• Scripts can pay other services directly
• Fully machine-to-machine economy

This is how we move from subscription-based internet to a true pay-as-you-go, machine-to-machine economy. And we want Hive to be ready - or already offer practical solutions for it.
