# Introducing Superposition

### What is Superposition:

Superposition is The Blockchain For Incentive Driven Applications, built on top of the Arbitrum stack and engineered to support application growth from first principles.

It is a DeFi native Layer-3 that focuses on novel incentives and order-flow for growth and value capture. Superposition features a native unified liquidity layer, built using Stylus, that combines an AMM with an orderbook, providing shared and permissionless liquidity for all apps onchain. 

When assets are bridged to Superposition, they become Super Assets - yield-bearing tokens that pay rewards for both holding ***AND*** using them.

Superposition also natively supports Utility Mining, allowing developers and protocols to progressively decentralise, align incentives with their users and earn revenue.

### How it's better:

Superposition positions itself as the most application-centric layer with novel advancements:

* **Super Assets:** Wrapped tokens that pay yield for holding & using, with built-in payment for order flow
* **Longtail:** Shared & composable liquidity layer combining AMM + Orderbook functionality
* **Cross Chain Orderbook:** Built in collaboration with Espresso Systems for unified liquidity across multiple chains
* **Developer Earnings:** Applications capture revenue (MEV) directly through Super Assets
* **Utility Mining:** Progressive decentralisation through activity-based token distribution

Built using Arbitrum Stylus, Superposition enables high-performance applications in Rust, C++, and C that remain composable with Solidity contracts.
