Superfluid Proposes Yield Backend Extensions for ETHx and USDCx Tokens

**Superfluid has introduced scheduled payment streams**, allowing users to set a start time once and automate recurring payments without manual intervention. **Key features:** - Zero gas fees for users - Fees paid in USDC - Built on Clear Macro infrastructure - Available across all supported networks **How it works:** Instead of executing multiple transactions, users can initiate a single payment stream that updates balances automatically over time. This "set it and forget it" approach eliminates the need for repeated manual payments. **Technical foundation:** The feature leverages Superfluid's ERC20x token standard, which enables continuous payment flows rather than discrete transactions. This update simplifies recurring payments for DAOs, businesses, and individuals managing subscriptions, salaries, or rewards in crypto.

The Superfluid DAO is voting on whether to continue the current yield backend for ETHx and USDCx following an April rsETH incident that temporarily froze ETHx on Base and Arbitrum. **Key Details:** - Vote deadline: 10 days remaining - Two proposals live on Snapshot: SIP #15 and SIP #16 - Decision: YES or NO on maintaining current yield backend structure **Background:** The Security Council initiated this vote after the rsETH DeFi incident raised concerns about the yield backend design.

Following the April rsETH incident that temporarily froze ETHx on Base and Arbitrum, the Security Council is now seeking DAO approval for the yield backend design. **Key Developments:** - SIP #15 and SIP #16 are now live on [Snapshot](https://snapshot.org) for community voting - The proposals address the technical architecture following the freeze incident - This follows an earlier vote on releasing frozen ETH from Arbitrum Security Council to DeFi United The DAO vote will determine the path forward for ETHx's yield infrastructure across multiple chains.

A new open-source bridge now connects offchain agent reputation data with smart contracts using CCIP. **How it works:** - Offchain analysis evaluates agent performance metrics (quality, reliability, uptime, user satisfaction) - Scores are verified and published on-chain via CCIP - Any smart contract can query an agent's reputation before interacting **Key features:** - Free to use - Open to everyone - Solves the problem of smart contracts having no visibility into agent reputation The code is now [open-sourced](https://github.com) for developers to integrate.
