RhadaPay

RhadaPay was built during HackFS 2021 as a proof of concept for what the team called event-driven payments: using real-world events to adjust an on-chain payment stream instead of relying on a fixed upfront payment or a simple milestone schedule.

The project ended up winning Best overall use of Polygon, Best use of Superfluid, and the Textile Pool Prize, which is a better summary of why it matters than the original hackathon narrative around streaming salaries.

What we built

The core idea was a contract-mediated workflow between two parties: one side posts work with staked funds and a set of event conditions, the other side delivers against that agreement, and the system opens or adjusts a payment stream based on the agreed event data.

The implementation combined custom Solidity contracts with Superfluid for continuous payments. Off-chain event information was logged to IPFS with Textile, and the project was wired into a web frontend for setting up jobs, event streams, and payment parameters.

The mechanism

RhadaPay treated streaming payments as a protocol building block: the interesting part was connecting off-chain events, escrow-like contract logic, and real-time settlement into something a dApp could build on top of.

It stayed at hackathon-proof-of-concept level, but it was a good example of taking a protocol like Superfluid and pushing it toward a more product-shaped use case.
