# Streaming payments

A stream pays out continuously instead of in one lump. Rather than sending someone 1,000 USDC on the last day of the month, you open a stream and the money accrues to them by the second. The Stream dashboard is where you create streams and monitor the ones already running.

## Total streams

The counter at the top left covers every stream on your connected wallet, split into **incoming** (money coming to you) and **outgoing** (money you are sending). The example shows 6 streams, all outgoing.

## Creating and reviewing streams

**Stream Actions** holds the two buttons you will use most:

* **Schedule Payment** sets up a new stream: recipient, token, amount, and period.
* **View All Streams** opens the full list, where you can act on individual streams.

## Top disbursed assets

This panel ranks the tokens you stream most, with **Total Received** and **Total Sent** for each. Use the arrows to page through if you stream in more than one token. The example shows ZBCN with $0.55 sent and nothing received.

## Payment summary

The chart plots incoming against outgoing payments over the last six months, with a currency selector so you can view one token at a time. It is the quickest way to spot a month where disbursements jumped, or a stream that stopped.

## Recent payments

Each row is a single payment from a stream, showing:

* which payment in the sequence it was, and the amount against the stream total
* the recipient address
* the start date and time
* the contract period, meaning how long that payment ran

Click **View All** for the full history.

## If something doesn't work

**A stream stopped paying.** Streams stop when their funding runs out. Check your treasury balance in the [Vault](/zebec-application-suite/web-superapp/vault.md) and top it up.

**A recipient says they haven't been paid.** Streamed funds accrue to the recipient, but they have to withdraw them. Point them to their own Stream dashboard.

**Nothing appears on the dashboard.** Streams belong to the wallet that created them. Confirm you are connected with that wallet, on the same network.

Streams keep running whether or not you are logged in. Funds accrue continuously and stop only when you cancel the stream or the balance runs dry.
