Raiden is a Python client implementing an off-chain state channel network for Ethereum, enabling near-instant, low-fee token transfers with any ERC20 token. It exposes a REST API and WebUI for opening payment channels, depositing tokens, and executing scalable micropayments.
Use cases
- send instant low-fee ERC20 token payments on Ethereum
- build a pay-per-use paywall with micropayments
- process machine-to-machine IoT micropayments
- scale dApp payments off-chain with state channels
- stream per-use payments for content or bandwidth
- open and manage Ethereum payment channels via API
When to choose
- you need fast, cheap ERC20 micropayments on Ethereum without on-chain transactions per payment
- you want an accountless pay-per-use payment infrastructure for a dApp or service
- you're researching or building on state channel technology
When to avoid
- you need general-purpose smart contract development rather than payments
- you want Bitcoin or non-ERC20 token transfers
- you need an actively developed solution - the project is in maintenance and development activity has slowed
