New Use Case article on Subspace, a layer 1 blockchain powering Web3 at Internet scale

👉 https://www.request.finance/use-cases/subspace

Jeremiah Wagstaff, CEO and Co-founder at Subspace Labs;
"Request Finance not only saves us 1-2 hours per week in processing crypto payments, but also saves us days during our annual tax and corporate reporting seasons. Our crypto payments history can be exported in a single keystroke for analysis and preparation of tax and financial statements"

What made Request stand out against other alternatives?
The Subspace executive management team looked at systems like Gusto and Deel, but they required us to link bank accounts and send fiat payments.
We needed a crypto-native solution without needing to involve centralized financial institutions. 👌

Hey our escrow feature for crypto payments is now live 🎉 🎉

For starters, an escrow offers a safe deposit box which automatically disburses when both parties agree that contract has been satisfied.

Traditionally this service involves having an intermediary, taking a hefty commission cut.

But with Request Finance, you now have access to escrow using smart contract, with just a $2 flat fee per payment, paid for by the payer 🥳

Try it out and let us know what you think on Discord or via our Intercom Feature on the website.
