Superfluid Protocol is Now Live on Base
We're thrilled to announce another significant step forward in our mission to enable more powerful and efficient payment experiences in web3: Superfluid Protocol is now live on Base.
Developed by Coinbase and built on Optimism's OPStack, Base is an L2 rollup that provides enhanced interoperability, lower costs, and improved scalability -- values that are at the heart of Superfluid. As an L2 chain incubated by the largest crypto exchange in the U.S., Base presents an exciting opportunity for tens of millions of retail and institutional users to engage with the next generation of DeFi products, including those built with Superfluid.
With our community's deployment of Superfluid on Base, web3 developers and blockchain businesses can now leverage Superfluid to build highly scalable apps that span crypto-native subscription checkouts, vesting solutions, automated payroll, and much more!
For developers and early adopters eager to explore the capabilities of Superfluid and Base, testnet is available and ready to build on. For those who have already been building on testnet, today marks your ability to go live on mainnet and bring money streaming to the next generation of DeFi users.
Breaking New Ground with Superfluid Protocol on Base
At its core, Superfluid Protocol enables money streams -- the constant, real-time transfer of tokens between wallets. That means that when you get paid in a Superfluid money stream, the token balance in your wallet increases every second, instead of at the end of the month. Best of all, money streams can flow in perpetuity with a single transaction -- minimizing your app's on-chain footprint for maximum scalability.
Superfluid Protocol's programmable, composable, and modular nature means you can build any app you dream of using money streams. Some of the main uses for Superfluid today include subscriptions, vesting, and payroll.
Subscriptions
Our free, open-source, and customizable developer toolkit allows you to build a best-in-class crypto subscription experience. Whether you're a web3 service, API, fundraising platform, creator community, or DAO, the toolkit allows you to design, personalize, and integrate a custom subscription checkout in just a few minutes.
Vesting
Set up and share a Superfluid-powered vesting schedule in as little as 3 clicks, without any programming knowledge. As a liquid and composable solution, tokens stay in your wallet until they are vested, letting you maximize yield in DeFi or use them as needed. Recipients can immediately put their vested tokens to work, without any need to claim. They can even stream their vested tokens to DeFi products like liquidity provision, staking, or yield farming, enhancing the capital efficiency of your token distribution!
Payroll
With Superfluid, you can streamline and automate years of payroll in a matter of minutes. Perfect for early-stage and enterprise-grade web3 businesses alike, payroll streaming eliminates administrative hassles, allows for single-transaction mass payments, and ensures employees can use their money the instant they earn it.
But as we mentioned earlier, this is just scratching the surface of what you can build with Superfluid! From on-demand content subscriptions and real-time customer loyalty systems to continuous DCA platforms and second-by-second sports betting apps, there's no shortage of possibilities when building with Superfluid.
Superfluid on Base: Fueling the Next Wave of Web3 Innovation
Superfluid Protocol's successful launch on Base -- one of the most eagerly anticipated networks in web3 -- wouldn't have been possible without the dedication and support of our loyal community. It marks another important milestone in our journey to streamline digital finance, and we're eager to see the novel, user-centric applications that will be built atop this foundation.
