Superfluid Challenges Traditional Payment Systems with Continuous Money Streaming
Superfluid Challenges Traditional Payment Systems with Continuous Money Streaming
💸 Payday every second
Superfluid is positioning continuous payment streaming as the modern alternative to batch payments. The protocol argues that traditional payment methods—from monthly salaries to bi-weekly deposits—are outdated remnants of pre-internet banking infrastructure.
Key Points:
- Batch payments originated when physical checks required weeks to process
- Current technology enables real-time, continuous money transfers
- Superfluid offers programmatic streaming for subscriptions, salaries, and rewards
The protocol targets DAOs and crypto-native businesses looking to modernize their payment infrastructure beyond traditional bulk payment cycles.
Batch payments are a relic from when checks took weeks to clear. We have the internet. Stream your money 🌊

Ethereum Security Groups Receive Continuous Funding Streams
Two Ethereum security organizations are now receiving ongoing financial support through continuous token streams: - **SEAL911 white hats**: 133.7 ETH upfront + 0.1337 ETH daily - **SEAL's general fund**: 69 ETH upfront + 0.069 ETH daily Both groups focus on securing Ethereum and Layer 2 networks.
