Superfluid

What is Superfluid

Superfluid is a revolutionary asset streaming and distribution protocol bringing subscriptions, salaries, vesting, and rewards to DAOs and crypto-native businesses worldwide. This is made possible by the protocol’s smart contract framework which introduces the Super Token - an extension to the ERC-20 standard enabling the transfer of value in completely novel ways.

The Superfluid protocol is a designed to be a "token-centric" protocol, in that all of its functionalities revolve around the concept of Super Tokens. The framework & Super Token standard can be used to add dynamic balances to tokens on chain, describing cash flows and executing them automatically over time in a non-interactive way. Any token can be transferred in Superfluid streams or distributions, which are programmable, composable, and modular. No capital is locked up, and all inflows and outflows are netted in real-time at every block without consuming any gas. The code is fully open source, while the protocol is non-custodial and permissionless.

The Superfluid Protocol has currently two main pillars that define its interactions with Super Tokens. These pillars (formerly called Agreements) are the following:

• Money Streaming - A set of features that enable the creation of money streams between two parties.
• Distributions - A set of features that enables the creation of a pool of funds that can be distributed to multiple recipients.
