Blockchain data platform Streamr has officially released a new open-source ethereum scaling technology called Monoplasma.
Inspired by a pre-existing scaling solution called plasma, Monoplasma is different in that it focuses specifically on "One-to-many payments" in which users would need to "Repeatedly distribute value to a large and dynamic set of ethereum addresses," explained Henri Pihkala, CEO of Streamr.
Speaking to CoinDesk about use cases for the technology, Pihkala said Monoplasma isn't just about revenue sharing.
Demonstrating the power of Monoplasma on stage, Pihkala showed how the tool can be used to drop small amounts of fake "Unicorn" tokens into 200,000 addresses on a test version of the ethereum blockchain.
Marketed as a "Special-purpose off-chain scaling solution," Shiv Malik, head of communications for Streamr, likened the technology to "Broadcasting money."
No double spends - where tokens are essentially counterfeited - are able to occur on a Monoplasma payment channel.
Streamr intends to use the technology to crowdsell user data on a blockchain.
Once data from users is sold to a bidding company, payment will directly be pushed into users' ethereum addresses.
Revealed last May, Streamr has partnered with a number of tech conglomerates including Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Finnish telecom company Nokia.
Now, all ethereum developers are encouraged to try out Monoplasma by downloading the public code repository on GitHub.
