# Superposition > The Blockchain That Pays You To Use It Superposition is a DeFi-native Layer 3 blockchain on Arbitrum that rewards users for network activity through yield-bearing transactions and unified liquidity mechanisms. Superposition operates as a Layer 3 blockchain built on Arbitrum One using Orbit framework and Stylus technology. The network enables yield-bearing transactions through Super Assets, which generate rewards for both holding and using digital assets. Users access unified shared liquidity through integrated automated market makers and order books. The platform supports Utility Mining for progressive token distribution and implements Account Abstraction for streamlined user interactions. Developers benefit from Stylus support for smart contracts written in Rust, C++, and C while maintaining composability with Solidity contracts. - Type: Project - Sector: Blockchain Platforms - Status: Active - Founded: 2023-07-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/superposition ## Products - [Superposition Mainnet](https://thegrid.id/profiles/superposition): A Layer 3 blockchain protocol deployed on Arbitrum One, facilitating yield-bearing transactions through native Super Assets and unified liquidity infrastructure. The network utilizes Arbitrum Stylus for multi-language smart contract execution, enabling developers to write contracts in Rust, C++, and C alongside Solidity. The protocol implements Utility Mining for token distribution based on network activity, Account Abstraction for simplified user interactions, and shared liquidity pools accessible to all applications. The chain settles on Arbitrum One while providing dedicated throughput for DeFi applications. (L3, Live, Main Product) ## Assets - [Superposition (SPN)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/superposition): SPN is the native utility and governance token of Superposition, a DeFi-focused Layer 3 on Arbitrum. It is used for staking, governance voting, and earning protocol rewards. Superposition natively integrates utility mining, a mechanism that rewards users with SPN for performing on-chain transactions rather than just providing liquidity.
