FAQ
Taken from official documents
What is the difference between vesting contracts and payroll streams?
The vesting contracts on Streamflow are used to vest SPL tokens to investors, teams, and communities. You can customize the vesting contracts as per your requirements using its unique features, such as cliff time release, release frequency, email notification, automatic withdrawal, contract duration, etc. A vesting contract is created for a fixed duration
On the other hand, payroll streams are used to stream payments to employees, freelancers, teams, contractors, and service providers. It is an efficient and secure way of making recurring payments. You can stream payments as per the required release rate, and the sender of the payment stream can also top up the ongoing payroll stream with more funds.
Are funds returned to the sender if a vesting contract or a payroll stream is canceled?
In case a live vesting contract or a payroll stream is canceled, locked tokens are returned to the sender and unlocked tokens are automatically withdrawn into the recipient wallet.
What happens to the funds if a vesting contract or a payroll stream is transferred to a new address?
In case a live vesting contract stream or a payroll stream is transferred to a new address, the stream gets transferred to the new recipient including the unlocked amount (that has not been withdrawn by the previous recipient).
Which tokens are supported by Streamflow for vesting and payroll streams? How to stream SOL?
Streamflow supports all SPL tokens for vesting contracts and payroll streams. In other words, all Solana network tokens are supported. In order to stream SOL, it should be converted into the wrapped SOL token. Network native SOL is a coin that can only be used for gas fees and can not be directly used in smart contracts such as vesting contracts or payroll streams without wrapping it into a token.
Does Streamflow charge any fees for its products?
The Streamflow app has a small service fee of 0.25% on top of the amount being streamed. In addition to the Streamflow service fee, Solana network charges certain fees as well. It is recommended to have at least 0.02 SOL in the wallet to avoid failed transactions. You can look into the detailed fee structure here: Fees
Do you have plans to launch a token?
Yes, Streamflow has plans of launching its native token ‘STRM’. Tokenomics and launch schedule are yet to be announced.
What other products does Streamflow plan to launch in the future?
Streamflow token vesting and payroll streams are already live on the mainnet, we are also going to launch more products such as multi-signature vaults and batch payments in near future. Streamflow will continuously innovate and expand its product suite over time.
Fees
Info taken from official documentation
A small service fee is charged on the Streamflow app.In addition to the Streamflow fees, Solana network charges certain fees as well. An overview of fees is presented here:
(*) This means that the fee is not fully unlocked upon stream creation, but it is gradually unlocked over the course of the stream. It is important to mention that the fee is charged on top of the amount that is streamed, e.g. if 100 BTC is streamed, the sender account will be debited by 100.25 BTC. __
(**) Solana network charges storage rent for the account creation. Rent is calculated per storage byte. __
(***) An escrow token account is created upon stream creation. When the recipient withdraws all of the tokens, the escrow account will be closed and rent will be sent to the Streamflow treasury account.

Conclusions
The project is not a dough collector. His team and the founders know what they are doing and what problem they are solving. They approached their business intelligently and clearly. The work done is of high quality because there are no greedy foundations which are mainly interested in making money. The project is kind to its members and users, very nice. There are great materials for beginners to understand how to work with Streamflow. I have not noticed any direct competitors in this industry. The project is unique. I do not understand why the project has so little social activity. If you have media resources and know how to make quality content for the project, you can easily become an ambassador.
