What it does: Users subscribe to services (music, tools, gaming), but the contract automatically pauses billing if usage drops below a defined threshold.
Why it matters: Prevents “forgotten subscription” waste.
How it works:
Usage metrics feed via oracle.
Contract bills only when usage > threshold.
Users can see billing logic transparently.
Providers gain trust through fair billing.
