Streaming Digital Asset Protocol Superfluid: Real-time finance will transform our trading systems

Original title: "Beyond Trading, Understanding the Superfluid"

Alice pays Bob $30 a month.

A DAO regularly assigns rewards to all its members.

Carroll buys $100 a week in Ether.

All of these operations can be described in a few short sentences, but require many repetitive and expensive transactions to be processed on the chain.

What if we could use smart contracts to ensure that digital money moves automatically along the chain without any regular sex transactions?

Understand the Superfluid protocol

Using our new smart contract framework on Ethereum, you can transfer any token or digital asset in a number of ways, based on a new primitive: predefined rules.

By publishing a single transaction, you can agree to transfer a steady stream of 10 DAI per month. Every second, a small amount of DAI flows between the two wallets without any gas or any further transactions from the sender or receiver. Similarly, cancellation is just a transaction.

The protocol began with a single, tedious, on-chain transaction. After that, all the miracles happen automatically. The agreement will be in effect forever and will not require any interaction or fuel costs.

Examples of Superfluid protocols that have taken effect are:

1. Money Streaming -- the way it should be! Great for subscriptions, salary, or dollar-cost averaging.

Rewards Distribution -- A transaction can be distributed to any number of receivers with a fixed cost. Perfect for frequent reward payments. Connecting different balances using protocols provides a revolutionary new way to transfer digital assets.

Real time money

Normally, on a blockchain, the transfers happen in sequence. In order to send an asset, you must first wait to receive it in your wallet.

A Superfluid flow is a constant flow of transactions that is automatically executed whenever a new block is created on the blockchain.

These transfers are done simultaneously. Superfluid protocols automatically network between the incoming money from each account or contract and the enter an item of expenditure in the accounts payments. This means that users (and smart contracts) can transfer funds as soon as each block is received, giving them the potential to operate without working capital or payment delays.

Digital asset flows require only one transaction on the chain, dramatically limiting the processing costs of recurring payments and enabling a new subscription-based economy to emerge on the chain. Unlike monthly payments, working capital is the perfect exchange of time (or services) and money, eliminating the need for trusts or advances.

Superfluid enables scalable money flows, which will be the future of digital recurring payments.

Programmable Currency 2.0

Superfluid tokens are compatible with ERC20 and ERC777, but also have built-in protocols that automatically update the real-time balance within the wallet without any transaction.

Tokens can be distributed via a Superfluid protocol, but can also be used to augment existing ERC20. Wrapped tokens can be Superfluid and moved in a Superfluid manner while the underlying asset can be redeemed at any time at a 1:1 rate.

Superfluid protocol features:

1. Flexibility -- Support for different protocol types within the same account

2. Scalable -- An account can handle unlimited traffic with fixed fuel costs

3. Modularity -- Smart contracts can integrate and merge protocols

Developer Agreement & NBSP;

The Superfluid framework takes developers into account. Together, we create an extremely flexible environment that allows developers to explore and push the boundaries of programmable currency.

Developers can register their smart contracts as SuperApps, which allows them to manage, integrate, and merge protocols. By setting the appropriate callbacks, smart contracts can react every time someone opens a stream to them and the stream is updated or closed!

All tokens in the Superfluid framework will share batch-calling capabilities, enabling users to create and execute complex transactions. For example, you can transfer USDC, DAI, and YFI, or open up the payment stream to 30 users, all in a single transaction.

The Superfluid is easy to use, modular, and extensible, enabling users to create new and unique financial experiences and applications.

Real-time financial

Streaming digital assets create extreme efficiency and allow a new generation of Defi applications to blossom.

We believe this could change the way money works. From clearing trades to settling agreements, making transactions obsolete, updating our financial system for the modern digital world.

We call it real-time finance.

Imagine...

Redirect all DAOs whose inbound streams pay rewards to members

-- ERC20, which gives holders the right to automatically allocate rewards

Automatic Defi policy, which aggregates streaming investments from users

-- Yield Farming, but every second is automated

Average cost method: Mobile DAI continuously accumulates ether coins

-- plus anything else you can think of.
