explain to me why it's better? In addition to saving, are there any other advantages to using your system?
With the Grain system you can:
Pay contractors across currencies without the high fees
No more unfavorable exchange rates or transaction fees that can end up costing 5% of the transaction.
The Grain protocol does the heavy lifting of registering, storing and settling agreements automatically.
Workers receive a direct bonus with every transaction. And as the value of Grain grows over time, the liquidity insurance mechanism collects a profit that gets distributed to everyone.
By triggering an instant payment after the work has been delivered, contractors can sleep peacefully knowing theyll get their money when its due.
Worse than late payments is not getting paid at all. Luckily, with prepayment options, this can be avoided easily. And the transparent nature of the blockchain can help weed out rotten apples in the system.
