# Superfluid > Earn Every Second Superfluid is a money streaming protocol that enables real-time, continuous token transfers. It lets developers and users automate payments such as salaries, subscriptions, and rewards by the second. Superfluid is a money streaming protocol, a decentralized infrastructure layer for real-time onchain payments. It enables continuous, per-second transfers of tokens between addresses rather than one-off transactions, letting value flow automatically over time. The protocol is built for developers and organizations that need programmable, recurring payment flows, including salaries, subscriptions, and reward distributions. The protocol addresses a gap in typical token transfers, which are discrete and require manual repetition for recurring payments. Superfluid wraps existing tokens into streamable versions that support continuous flows, allowing balances to update dynamically without repeated onchain actions. This mechanism works across any compatible token and integrates with smart contracts that split or redistribute incoming streams to multiple recipients automatically. Beyond its core streaming engine, Superfluid supports a dashboard for managing streams, a governance forum, and voting infrastructure tied to an ecosystem token used to steer protocol upgrades and incentive allocation. Applications built on the protocol span decentralized finance, social platforms, and gaming, using streaming for yield distribution, content monetization, and automated rewards. The protocol is used by application developers, decentralized organizations, and platforms seeking continuous, automated payment mechanisms rather than periodic settlement. - Type: Project - Sector: Payments - Status: Active - Founded: 2020-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/Superfluid ## Products - [Superfluid Protocol](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Superfluid): Superfluid Protocol is a smart contract infrastructure for real-time, onchain money streaming and scalable fund distribution. It introduces Super Tokens, an extension of a standard token format that lets balances update continuously per second and lets pools of funds be split among many recipients in a single transaction. Users and developers access the protocol through a unified dashboard that also supports wrapping tokens into Super Tokens, cross-chain swaps and bridging, vesting schedules, and payroll-style recurring payments. Organizations use it to automate salaries, grants, vesting, and reward distributions without manual, per-transaction processing. (Subscription & Streaming Payments, Live, Main Product) - [Superfluid Claim App](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Superfluid): The Superfluid Claim App is a dedicated web application for claiming, staking, and governing the protocol's SUP token. Users check eligibility from ecosystem activity, claim streaming SUP rewards, stake or lock claimed tokens into a reserve to grow future allocations, and participate in governance voting and liquidity provision for SUP. The app operates on its own domain and account flow, separate from the core streaming dashboard, and centers entirely on the SUP token lifecycle rather than general money streaming. (Token distribution tool, Live) ## Assets - [Super Token (SUP)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Superfluid): SUP is the governance and ecosystem token of the Superfluid protocol. Holders stake and delegate SUP to vote on protocol upgrades, ecosystem incentive allocations, and treasury decisions, while users earn SUP through Streaming Programmatic Rewards for actions across Superfluid-powered apps. Rewards stream continuously rather than arriving as lump sums, and staked or reserved SUP can be unlocked over time or withdrawn early for a penalty.
