Traditional onchain payments are inefficient: paying 1,000 people requires 1,000 separate transactions, 1,000 gas fees, and significant waiting time.​

Distribution pools offer a better solution:

  • Enable simultaneous payments to thousands of recipients
  • Reduce transaction costs and complexity
  • Eliminate lengthy processing times

This technology forms the foundation of Agentic Basic Income, addressing a critical challenge: how to pay 10,000 agents simultaneously and continuously onchain.​

Superfluid distribution pools provide the infrastructure needed to scale agent payments efficiently, making mass onchain compensation practical and cost-effective.​
