FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Streamlock.

---

General

What is Streamlock?

Streamlock is a token launchpad where all tokens are locked until price targets or time conditions are met. No more worrying about your bags getting rugged and portfolio decimate in a week.

Is Streamlock live?

Streamlock is currently on Solana Devnet (testnet). This means you're using test SOL with no real value. Mainnet launch is planned after security audits.

What blockchain is Streamlock on?

Solana. Specifically, we use Solana's Token-2022 program for tokens and integrate with Streamflow for escrow.

Buying & Selling

Why are my tokens locked?

When you buy on Streamlock, tokens go into an escrow atomically that unlocks based on price conditions. This is the core mechanic - you're buying into a price-gated position, not just acquiring tokens.

How do I unlock my tokens?

Tokens unlock automatically as the market price approaches your target price. You don't need to do anything - the oracle monitors the price and calculates your unlock percentage.

Can I sell locked tokens?

No. You can only sell/withdraw tokens that have unlocked. Check your unlock percentage in "My Streams."

Why are fees high when I sell right after unlock?

Sell fees start at ~25% at the start of the unlock window and decay to ~1% by the end of the window. Selling early in the window costs more; waiting until later in the window reduces the fee.

Can I change my target price after buying?

No. Your target price is set when you create the stream and cannot be modified. Choose carefully.

Target Prices

What's the difference between Siren and Ulysses tokens?

• Siren: The token creator sets one target price for everyone

• Ulysses: Each buyer sets their own individual target price

What happens if price never reaches my target?

Your tokens remain locked. This is why it's important to set realistic targets based on genuine conviction, not wishful thinking.

What if price exceeds my target?

Once you reach 100% unlock, you're fully unlocked. Price going higher doesn't change anything - you can withdraw/sell whenever you want.

Does unlock percentage ever decrease?

No. Once tokens unlock, they stay unlocked even if price drops. Unlocks are one-way.

---

Limits & Caps

Why is there a 1% holding limit?

To prevent whales from dominating token supply. This ensures fair distribution across many holders rather than concentration in a few wallets.

What happens if I buy more than 1%?

• Up to 1% goes into a normal price-gated stream

• Excess goes into a 67-day time-locked position

• You still receive all tokens, just with different unlock conditions

What are throughput caps?

Limits on how much can be bought (2% of supply) or sold (configurable per pool) per 5-minute window. This prevents market manipulation.

---

Gaming System

What is zero-sum gaming?

Streamlock has a gaming layer where holders can bet on outcomes (like poker). Winners gain entitlement rights to losers' locked positions. It's zero-sum because every gain equals someone else's loss.

Do I lose my tokens if I lose a game?

Not exactly. You lose entitlement rights, not tokens. Tokens stay in escrow. When the stream eventually unlocks and settles, SOL proceeds are distributed based on final entitlement percentages.

Can I gain rights to someone else's stream?

Yes! If you win games, you gain entitlement in other players' streams. When those streams settle, you receive a share of their SOL proceeds.

What's a dispute window?

After game results are submitted, there's a ~1 hour window where players can challenge incorrect results. Valid disputes invalidate the results.

---

Technical

What wallet should I use?

We support Phantom, Solflare, and other major Solana wallets. Any wallet that supports Solana and connects to dApps will work.

How do I get devnet SOL?

Use a faucet like Solana Devnet Faucet or run solana airdrop 2 in your terminal. Make sure your wallet is set to Devnet.

Why did my transaction fail?

Common reasons:

• Insufficient SOL for fees

• Slippage too low (price moved)

• Throughput cap reached (wait 5 min)

• Network congestion (retry)

Where are my tokens stored?

In Streamflow escrow - a non-custodial smart contract. Streamlock never has custody of your tokens.

Fees

What are the fees?

Action	Fee Range
Buying	1-20% (dynamic, based on price progress)
Selling	~25% at start of unlock window, decaying to ~1%
Settlement	1% flat (from owner's entitlement BPS)
Stream creation	0.19% (Streamflow)
Network	~0.000005 SOL

What is the settlement fee?

A flat 1% protocol fee applied when streams are settled. It's the same rate for everyone — no tiers, no grinding to reduce it. If you signed up with a referral code, your first 3 settlements are fee-free.

Why are buy fees higher near target?

To discourage FOMO buying right before unlock. Early believers pay less, late arrivers pay more.

Do sell fees decrease over time?

Yes. Sell fees decay over the unlock window: from ~25% at the start to ~1% at the end. Selling later in the window means a lower fee.

---

Referral Program

How does the referral program work?

Every user gets a unique referral code. Share it with others — when they trade on Streamlock, you earn 40% of the protocol's fee share from their trades, paid in SOL. This lasts for 6 months per referral with a 5 SOL cap per referred user.

What does my referral get?

Users who sign up with a referral code get their first 3 stream settlements fee-free (normally 1%).

Can I refer myself?

No. Self-referral detection is active and flagged accounts have earnings withheld.

Is there a limit to referrals?

No limit on how many users you can refer. Each individual referral has a 5 SOL earning cap and 6-month duration.

What are points?

Points are earned by referring users and playing games. They unlock platform perks like priority settlement, high-stakes game rooms, early access to new launches, and boosted referral revenue shares. Points are permanent — they never decay or expire. See Referral & Rewards for full details.

Safety

Is Streamlock safe?

Streamlock uses verified smart contracts and reputable integrations (Streamflow). However:

• Currently on devnet (test environment)

• No security audits yet

• Experimental software

Use only amounts you can afford to lose.

Has Streamlock been audited?

Not yet. Security audits are planned before mainnet launch.

Can Streamlock take my tokens?

No. Tokens are in Streamflow escrow, controlled by smart contracts. Streamlock has no admin keys or custody of user funds.
