On Solana, when a project vests team tokens, distributes an airdrop, or runs token payments, Streamflow is very often the rails underneath it. It's the leading token vesting and distribution platform in the Solana ecosystem. This guide explains what Streamflow does and how to track a Streamflow vesting schedule.
What is Streamflow?
Streamflow provides on-chain infrastructure for distributing SPL tokens over time on Solana, vesting, token lockups, streaming payments, and airdrop distribution. Recipients' tokens unlock according to a schedule (cliff and/or linear), enforced by Solana programs rather than a team's discretion.
Streamflow = Solana's go-to vesting and token-distribution layer, cliffs, linear release, streaming payments, and airdrops, all on-chain.
What Streamflow is used for
- Team & investor vesting: Locking founder/investor allocations with a cliff + linear release.
- Airdrop distribution: Distributing community allocations, sometimes with vesting to reduce immediate sell-off.
- Streaming payments: Ongoing payroll/grants that release continuously.
Streamflow vs EVM vesting protocols
Streamflow plays the role on Solana that protocols like Sablier, Hedgey and UNCX play on EVM chains, the difference is the ecosystem. Because Solana uses a different address format and program model, Solana vesting positions are tracked separately from EVM ones, so a genuinely cross-chain tracker needs to cover both.
How to track Streamflow vesting
To see Streamflow vesting for a Solana wallet or token, including claimable vs locked amounts and the schedule, use the Streamflow unlock tracker on Vestream, or paste a Solana address into the free wallet scanner.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Streamflow used for?
Streamflow is Solana's leading token vesting and distribution platform, used for team/investor vesting, airdrops, token lockups, and streaming payments, all enforced on-chain.
Is Streamflow only on Solana?
Streamflow is best known as the Solana vesting standard. When tracking a token's total vesting, remember Solana positions are separate from EVM ones, you need a tracker that covers both ecosystems.
How do I track a Streamflow vesting schedule?
Use a cross-chain tracker like Vestream, which indexes Streamflow on Solana and shows claimable vs locked amounts and upcoming unlocks for any wallet, free.
