Supporting Instant Distributions

Supporting IDA Operations in Your App

You can learn more about the IDA here.

The instant distribution agreement (IDA) allows users to send one-to-many transfers in a scalable way with a single transaction. The IDA allows a publisher to create an index, and grant units of this index to subscribers. Once units are given, a publisher can distribute a number of super tokens to the index. These super tokens will be automatically distributed to each subscriber in amounts that are proportional to the number of units each subscriber has been granted relative to the total number of outstanding units.

After funds are distributed, subscribers can call claim() to receive all tokens distributed to them so far through that index. Calling approveSubscription() will give a user all funds distributed so far, and will allow them to automatically receive all funds distributed in the future.
