Superfluid
The protocol for money streaming.
Overview
Superfluid is a protocol that allows tokens to flow continuously from one wallet to another in real-time. This enables novel financial interactions like salaries paid by the second, recurring subscriptions, and automated dollar-cost averaging. For DAOs, it's a powerful tool for automating payroll, vesting schedules, and distributing rewards to contributors without manual transactions.

🎯 Key Differentiators

💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- One-time, lump-sum payments
- Transactions that require immediate, final settlement without an ongoing relationship
