General Overview
What Streamflow is, who it’s for, and why teams use it.
What is Streamflow, and who is it for?
Streamflow is a token distribution protocol that helps Web3 teams automate onchain token operations such as vesting, airdrops, staking, token locks, and recurring payments. It is designed for DAOs, startups, protocols, and Web3-native companies that need transparent, programmable token infrastructure.
Which products and services does Streamflow offer?
Streamflow provides a comprehensive set of tools for managing token distribution, including vesting contracts with linear or non-linear schedules, recurring token transfer contracts that can be topped up after deployment, immutable token locks for both LP and standard tokens, airdrop distribution tools for vested and non-vested allocations, publicly shareable dashboards for transparency, and token minting tools that allow teams to configure and launch new tokens quickly.
How does Streamflow help crypto startups and companies?
Streamflow helps crypto startups and companies by simplifying and automating complex token operations such as vesting, airdrops, and recurring transfers while keeping everything transparent and onchain. By reducing manual work and operational risk, Streamflow allows teams to focus on building their products and growing their communities instead of maintaining custom distribution infrastructure.
Is Streamflow a custodial service?
No. Streamflow is non-custodial and operates through onchain programs. Tokens are controlled by smart contracts rather than being held by Streamflow as a centralized intermediary, meaning teams retain control over their assets at all times.
Who typically uses Streamflow?
Streamflow is commonly used by DAOs, token issuers, Web3 startups, remote-first teams, and protocols that need a reliable and auditable way to distribute tokens to investors, contributors, and community members.
Product & Integrations
How Streamflow works in practice and how teams integrate it.
Can Streamflow be used for payroll or recurring payments?
Yes. Streamflow supports recurring payout contracts that can be used for payroll-style payments to employees, contractors, and contributors. These contracts allow teams to automate payouts and continue funding them over time without redeploying new contracts.
Can I run airdrops or token claims using Streamflow?
Yes. Streamflow offers tools for both vested and non-vested airdrops, enabling teams to distribute tokens to large groups of recipients while allowing users to claim their allocations transparently onchain.
Does Streamflow have SDKs for integrations?
Yes. Streamflow provides developer SDKs that allow teams to integrate token distribution functionality directly into their own applications. A JavaScript SDK and a Rust SDK are available for Solana, enabling developers to build custom flows for vesting, airdrops, staking, and claims.
Can I customize the user or claimant experience?
Yes. Streamflow can be embedded into custom websites and applications, allowing teams to create branded distribution and claim experiences that fit their product and community while still relying on Streamflow’s onchain infrastructure.
Can Streamflow be used without its hosted interface?
Yes. All Streamflow contracts live onchain, so even if the hosted interface were unavailable, distributions and claims would remain accessible through supported wallets, tools, and SDK integrations.
