📓 Glossary

• POC = Proof of Concept
• Solana Programs = the equivalent of Ethereum's Smart Contracts, but for Solana
• Solstice = cool, internal codename to avoid the lengthy Sablier on Solana POC term
• Lamport = one Lamport equals 0.000000001 SOL (10^9 Lamports make 1 SOL), similar to satoshi for Bitcoin and wei for Ethereum
• BPF = Berkeley Packet Filter used as a secure and efficient virtual machine to execute smart contracts by compiling them into BPF bytecode

🌐 Context

This section’s purpose is to properly set the content of the document in a larger context. All of the information necessary to the proper understanding of the present text should be laid out here.

Sablier is a well-established money streaming and token distribution protocol present on all of the major EVM-compatible blockchains such as Mainnet, Arbitrum, Avalanche, and Base. Amassing a total of 165m USD (1.5m excluding vesting tokens) and a peak of 1.5b USD flowing through its contracts, Sablier is a go-to solution for all things payments and is highly regarded in the Web3 space as one of the top protocols when it comes to illustrating best security, coding and testing practices.

Alongside its growing popularity, the demand for expansion is also ever-growing, as new chains are created almost on a monthly basis and users are eager to keep using their preferred money streaming solution on all chains they are navigating to and from. That being said, while EVM-based users are happily satisfied by the response times of the Sablier team when it comes to deploying their contracts on a new chain, other ecosystems were not on the radar until now.
