Streaming Proceeds

When you buy tokens on Streamlock, they're not sent directly to your wallet. Instead, they're placed in a stream - a smart contract escrow that releases tokens based on conditions.


What is a Stream?

A stream is your locked token position with:

  • Your tokens: Held in escrow

  • Target price: The price at which tokens fully unlock

  • Oracle feed: Monitors the current market price

  • Unlock conditions: Rules for when tokens become withdrawable

Think of it as a smart vault that opens progressively as price conditions are met.


How Unlocking Works

Unlocking is all-or-nothing:

Price Progress          Tokens Unlocked
    0% to target    →        0%
   25% to target    →       0%
   50% to target    →       0%
   75% to target    →       0%
  100% (at target)  →      100%

Only ape what you can afford to lose forever.


Stream Lifecycle

1. Creation (Buy)

When you buy tokens:

  • Tokens are transferred to Streamflow escrow

  • Stream is created with your parameters

  • Oracle feed is attached for price monitoring

2. Monitoring

While you hold:

  • Oracle continuously tracks market price

  • Unlock percentage updates as price moves

  • You can view progress in "My Streams"

3. Withdrawal

When tokens unlock:

  • Withdraw to your wallet, OR

  • Sell directly for SOL

  • Proceeds distributed based on your entitlement


Entitlement Rights

Here's where it gets interesting. Your stream doesn't just track tokens - it tracks entitlement rights.

When your stream is created, you own 100% of the entitlement (10,000 basis points).

Through the gaming system, these rights can change:

  • Win a game → Gain entitlement in someone else's stream

  • Lose a game → Someone else gains entitlement in your stream

When the stream settles, SOL proceeds are distributed based on final entitlement percentages.


Example: Entitlement Transfer

Initial state:

  • Alice owns 100% of her stream (10,000 bps)

After a poker game where Alice loses 30% to Bob:

  • Alice owns 70% of her stream (7,000 bps)

  • Bob owns 30% of Alice's stream (3,000 bps)

When Alice's stream unlocks and sells for 1 SOL:

  • Alice receives 0.70 SOL (70%)

  • Bob receives 0.30 SOL (30%)

Bob gained claim rights on Alice's position without the tokens ever moving - until unlock.


Settlement

When you're ready to exit:

  1. Settle Stream: Withdraws unlocked tokens and sells them for SOL

  2. Claim Proceeds: Each entitlement holder claims their share

The "Close Position" button handles both steps automatically.


Key Points

  • Tokens are locked until price conditions are met

  • Unlocking is progressive, based on price progress

  • Entitlement rights can transfer through gaming

  • Final SOL distribution follows entitlement percentages

  • You don't lose tokens by playing games - just claim rights
