A stream is one onchain transaction that keeps paying by itself — per second, until you stop it. Below: what people actually stream on Sluice, a live tape you can verify, and how streaming compares to the old way of paying.
| From | To | Token | Rate | Streamed |
|---|
Salaries settle every second instead of once a month. No float, no payday batch, no waiting on ops.
Users pay while they actually use the product — cancel any second, keep the unspent balance.
Dividends and yield from tokenized stocks stream to holders continuously, 24/7 — not quarterly.
Token unlocks as a continuous flow after the cliff — no monthly dump days, no manual claims.
Stream incentives to thousands of wallets at once. Retention beats airdrops: value accrues while users stay.
Landlords see money arriving every second of the month — tenants keep every unspent second if they leave early.
| Bank transfer / payday | Sluice stream | |
|---|---|---|
| Settlement | Once a month, business hours | Every second, 24/7 |
| Transactions needed | One per payment, forever | One to open — then zero |
| Gas / fees per payment | Wire & FX fees each time | No gas per tick |
| Access to earned money | Wait for payday | Withdraw any moment |
| Cancel / change | Invoices, notice periods | One transaction, instant |
| Custody | Bank holds it | Self-custodial contract |
// Withdrawals settle on Robinhood Chain or Ethereum — your choice at exit.
