Episode 31 | Michele D'Aliessi from Superfluid on Streaming Payments

The Accountant Quits Podcast

Smart contracts allow the transfer of digital assets automatically without the need for manual periodic transactions, in the form of a payment stream.

Payment stream you ask? Allow me to break it down for you through a simple example.

As an employee/freelancer, you are familiar with receiving your salary/fees in the form of a lump sum transfer.

What if I told you could now receive crypto payment every second, in the form of a payment stream?

On Episode 31, I had the opportunity to speak to Michele D’Aliessi, co-founder at Superfluid.

Superfluid is pioneering the idea of programmable cash flows, or simply put, allowing a constant flow of transactions that are executed automatically on-chain.

Payment streams would be impossible to do in traditional finance and have the potential to change how money works.
