Welcome to a new week of multi-chain world Connexters!
Let’s take a look together what happened in the previous days of Connext Network:
Last week in Connext Ecosystem
Superfluid Integrates Connext: an xChain Streaming Bridge is Born
Superfluid, Nomad and Connext are excited to unveil a new collaboration and technical integration that is set to create a new primitive in the blockchain ecosystem: fluid streaming of tokens across any domain and L2.
Streaming money is the best way to reward humans for their work, pay for subscriptions, rent an item, or establish long-term relationships between two entities, fairly and continuously exchanging value.
But this continuous flow of value would be limited if it was confined to a single domain. To maximize their potential, money streams need to be free to be directed anywhere in the blockchain and metaverse realms.
Some examples of possible xStreams:
A DAO stream-paying its contributors and allowing members to receive their streams on their preferred chain
A stablecoin stream starting from Optimism, where a user has funds, to DCA native tokens on Avalanche
