Build FaucetPay payouts like a real payment system, not a demo script: keep API keys server-side, calculate rewards on the backend, store every payout in a database, use idempotency keys to prevent double payments, process payouts through a worker queue, verify signed webhooks, retry only temporary failures, and add daily limits plus anti-abuse checks. The core idea is simple: your app decides who gets paid and why, while FaucetPay handles the crypto micropayment.
