Sablier
Sablier is an onchain token distribution protocol. It powers token vesting, airdrop distributions, and onchain payroll
across 27+ EVM chains.
Organizations use Sablier to distribute tokens at scale—whether compensating contributors, vesting team allocations, or
airdropping to thousands of recipients. The protocol handles the complexity of time-based token releases, letting teams
focus on what they're building rather than manual distribution logistics.
Core Use Cases
Token Vesting
Lock tokens with customizable unlock schedules. Vesting configurations include:
- Linear unlocks — Constant rate from start to end
- Cliff periods — Initial waiting period before any tokens unlock
- Tranched releases — Discrete unlocks at specific intervals (monthly, quarterly, yearly)
- Custom curves — Exponential, logarithmic, or step-based unlock patterns
All vesting positions are represented as NFTs, enabling recipients to transfer or trade their allocations.
Airdrop Distributions
Distribute tokens to thousands of recipients efficiently using Merkle trees:
- Gas-optimized claiming—recipients pay only their own claim gas
- Built-in vesting—tokens can stream after claim rather than unlocking immediately
- Clawback support—reclaim unclaimed allocations after expiration
- Flexible eligibility—custom claim conditions and allowlists
Onchain Payroll
Compensate contributors with tokens that accrue continuously:
- Real-time access to earned compensation
- No waiting for pay dates—withdraw anytime
