14. Current Superfluid Volume
- Pre Launch
15. Fee Structure
- At checkout, we’re including an option to donate a % of the proposed stream to our team.
16. User Personas
- Farcaster users (Subscribers) - Farcaster users are web3 natives. There is a strong culture of rewarding builders and creators on the platform. They are responsive to incentives and trying new onchain products.
- Farcaster Devs (Recipients) - The builders recipients were selected through a self-curation experiment introduced by Hats Protocol called Curie. We think providing streaming funding to these developers and exposing them to the ecosystem can help inspire more Superfluid mini app builds.
17. KPI to be incentivised by SUP
- Volume streamed (linear SUP XP per $1 streamed)
- Sharing donations/the mini app on the Feed (1-time SUP XP bonus per user)
- Joining the Flow State & Superfluid channels (1-time SUP XP bonus per user)
Product Overview
Flow Guilds and Flow Splitters are tools originally developed and deployed on Flow State. We’ve used them to collect & distribute ~47K USD equivalent to open source builders from our website. We’ve done a good job carving out our niche as the “streaming funding people” within public goods funding circles
We believe there’s an opportunity to increase distribution, improve UX, and inspire a strategic cohort of builders to join the Superfluid ecosystem by bringing this tool to Farcaster in mini app form.
We’ve added Curie’s self-curated list of 78 “Cracked Farcaster Devs” to a Flow Splitter (Superfluid distribution pool under the hood) and made opening a streaming donation to them fun and easy. Our goal is to distribute as much streaming funding to these builders as possible, so our primary use for this SUP campaign is to reward users based on their cumulative donation volume.
We’ve adapted the UX of our Flow Splitter/Flow Guild products to take advantage of Farcaster’s unique attributes and culture. We’ve streamlined the checkout experience to a single Super Token donation. We prominently feature the builders’ (often recognizable) profile pictures in our main visualization. This reinforces the impact of the user’s donation stream and helps demonstrate the power of Superfluid distribution pools (i.e. a single transaction starts a continuous funding stream to support 78 deserving builders).
We’ve added a leaderboard and prominent “King of the Hill” placement for the current top funder’s profile picture on the homepage. We’ll continue to explore ways to gamify donations and play to Farcaster’s culture of celebrating builders and those who fund them. We’re also leveraging dynamic embeds for all share-to-feed functionality to promote distribution & pull through. Mini app notifications will help improve engagement and UX (e.g. balance top-up reminders).
We’re on track to have the app launched before the end of SUP S3 voting, so we’ll keep this post updated with live links, screenshots, and stats.
We can adapt this mini-app structure to support existing Flow Guilds on Flow State.
