ABOUT

StableLab is a governance firm focused on professional delegation, DAO framework design and product development. We work with various projects, from the ones just starting their journey to decentralization to the most prominent DeFi protocols.

Our systematic framework for DAOs covers governance methodologies, decentralized workforce, implementation, documentation, communication and community engagement. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, but we provide a framework of principles and tools we have developed throughout our experience.

We scale DAOs sustainably.

EXPERIENCE

We are the leading professional delegate team with a track record across major DeFi protocols, including MakerDAO, Optimism, Aave, 1inch, Balancer, Element, InstaDapp, Hop and more.

We pioneer delegation work through high governance standards, extensive research, hands-on expertise and the consistent use of a code of conduct. Pushing forward web3 and DeFi since 2018, StableLab’s co-founders previously spent 3.5 years at the Maker Foundation.

WHY SUPERFLUID

Superfluid is a revolutionary protocol focused on real-time asset streaming, enabling continuous and efficient payments for salaries, subscriptions, vesting, and more. We chose to be delegates for Superfluid because we believe in the transformative impact of its technology on how DAOs and crypto protocols manage financial flows.

With reliable governance aligned with Superfluid’s values, the protocol can scale sustainably, unlocking new opportunities for users and developers. Our role as delegates is to support Superfluid’s mission to redefine financial infrastructure in Web3.

StableLab is committed to playing a key role in turning Superfluid’s vision into reality by bringing high governance standards and expertise to the table.

Proposal: SIP-1: Ecosystem Campaigns - Season 1
Vote: Yes
Reasoning: In order to drive real adoption, we support SIP-1’s approach of distributing SUP to active users in key Superfluid-powered apps, ensuring incentives strengthen network effects and governance.

Proposal: SIP-2: DAO Voting
Vote: Yes
Reasoning: Clear proposal, aligned with the original plan, and the timing feels right.

Proposal: SIP-3: Community Bounty Pool
Vote: Sherlock
Reasoning: While both proposals have their merits, I believe Sherlock is better positioned to run this program/pool, as they already have familiarity with the protocol.

Proposal: SIP 4 Ecosystem Campaigns – Season 2

We structured our allocation according to three key criteria:

  • Protocol-first impact: Prioritize projects with deep integration of Superfluid primitives (e.g., SuperApps, GDA, Pure SuperTokens).

  • Ecosystem infrastructure: Support for tools, developer incentives, and coordination layers that reinforce protocol resilience.

  • Strategic diversification: Avoid concentration risk by backing both proven drivers and high-upside emerging initiatives.

Vote Allocation

Bucket % Commentary
Flow State 22 Core funding infra. Execution in S1 + roadmap for S2 justify top-tier support.
Superfluid Labs New Apps 17 Incentivizor, NFTs, games—future-focused primitives and experiments.
Superfluid Labs Apps 14 SuperBoring leads on traction; AlfaFrens still relevant for creator economy.
Growth Campaigns 13 Foundation-wide campaigns deserve ongoing support—particularly Pure ST focus.
Dev Contributor Rewards 12 Critical to reward core protocol contributors. A strategic investment.
Giveth 8 Public goods app with working UX and proven user growth (400% during S1).
Streme.fun 6 Experimental but aligned with Superfluid’s design space. Limited support.
Nerite 5 Native stablecoin could become foundational. Support early adoption.
GoodDollar 3 High onboarding + top cross-claim conversion. Shallow integration limits weight.

Justification per Category

1. Flow State (22%)

Flow State is becoming core ecosystem infrastructure for capital allocation, governance, and programmatic coordination. Its streaming quadratic funding rounds, splitters, and Flow Councils are all deeply integrated with Superfluid primitives. Their execution in Season 1 demonstrated traction (1,100+ active streams), and their Season 2 roadmap includes partnerships (Octant, GoodDollar, Guild Guild), more funding rounds, and a focus on referrals and distribution incentives. We believe this platform deserves flagship-level support — both for its contribution to Superfluid and as a path to adoption by external DAOs.

2. Superfluid Labs New Apps (17%)

This bucket includes forward-looking bets like Incentivizor, which could become a core utility for liquidity mining with streaming incentives, especially useful for protocols deploying SuperTokens. The Streaming NFT Series offers a novel UX funnel into Superfluid for collectors, and apps like Banger and SuperRoulette represent fun, lightweight experiments with streaming mechanics. Backing this bucket supports the Labs team’s agility to test, iterate, and showcase new mechanisms.

3. Superfluid Labs Apps (14%)

SuperBoring stands out as one of the top-performing apps in Season 1 in terms of both inflow volume and user retention. It also plays a key educational role by demonstrating the advantages of streaming for DCA and treasury strategies. While AlfaFrens has had uneven traction, its exploration of subscription models and creator monetization remains valuable. We support this bucket as a continuation of proven Superfluid-native products.

4. Growth Campaigns (13%)

We see value in supporting transversal initiatives like Community Activations, Pure SuperTokens, and Payments & Distributions. These efforts create onboarding funnels, retroactive rewards, and incentives that benefit multiple products. In particular, the focus on Pure SuperTokens in Season 2 is aligned with Superfluid’s long-term vision. This category also supports projects that may not yet justify a standalone campaign but contribute to ecosystem growth.

5. Dev Contributor Rewards (12%)

We are concerned by the low vote share this bucket is currently receiving. Rewarding open-source developers who contribute to the protocol’s core repos is essential for long-term sustainability. The leaderboard and streaming-based rewards proposed by According.Work are a step toward making Superfluid contributor-friendly. We also support the idea (raised by Fran and others) of expanding this to include devs from ecosystem projects over time. This is a strategic area to protect.

6. Giveth (8%)

Giveth offers a practical and proven use case for Superfluid: recurring donations to public goods. Their integration hides complexity and delivers a smooth UX, leading to increased retention and real usage. Their Season 1 participation led to a 400% increase in volume, and they are proposing sensible improvements for Season 2 (e.g., raising the donation threshold). Giveth also acts as a gateway for new, mission-aligned users — including DAO treasuries — to experiment with streaming.

7. Streme.fun (6%)

This experimental token launcher offers pure SuperToken deployments with built-in staking. While Season 1 saw impressive initial volume, activity has slowed. The upcoming “Phase 2” and contract upgrades are promising, and we support continued exploration — though with a more limited allocation compared to proven platforms. If traction improves, it could be a valuable experiment in user-driven token issuance with streaming mechanics.

8. Nerite (5%)

A natively streamable stablecoin (USND) could unlock dozens of new use cases across payments, subscriptions, DeFi, and DAOs. While not yet launched, we support Nerite as a strategic bet — especially if it integrates with platforms like Flow State or Incentivizor. We expect adoption and volume to be gradual but potentially exponential.

9. GoodDollar (3%)

GoodDollar’s onboarding metrics in Season 1 were impressive (88% first-time claimers, top outbound cross-claimers). Their integration of streaming UBI is conceptually aligned with Superfluid’s mission. However, integration depth and developer engagement remain somewhat limited. We provide a symbolic vote in recognition of their value as a gateway to underserved users and a partner to Flow State.

Final Notes

Season 1 of SPR validated key assumptions around integration depth, incentive structure, and cross-campaign dynamics, distributing over 35 million SUP to more than 30,000 wallets.

Season 2 introduces a broader, modular framework with a 50 million SUP budget and a weighted voting system that sets a precedent for scalable, transparent allocation.

As Superfluid moves toward more decentralized coordination, it’s critical to maintain clear evaluation standards, sustained infrastructure investment, and meaningful contributor pathways.

We appreciate the Foundation and participating teams for iterating on the SPR framework and enabling a structured approach to ecosystem support.
