Streams Game-Theoretic Whitepaper

Streams.so lets protocols sell a future stream of their governance tokens. It allows protocols to raise funds for their treasury while controlling token emission rates.

In this whitepaper, we show that Streams can filter-out short term traders, allowing a separating equilibrium to exist: high-conviction buyers will purchase the streams, while low-conviction buyers will not. Protocols should therefore consider Streams as an attractive way to sell their tokens if they are interested in long-term holders.
