What Recurring Payments Support
| Capability | Current behavior |
|---|---|
| Fixed cadence payouts | Weekly, monthly, quarterly, or custom cadence where the interval divides the full schedule evenly |
| BCH and CashTokens | Both are supported |
| Refillable runway | Supported for recurring streams configured as refillable |
| Pause / Resume | Supported when the stream is cancelable |
| Cancel | Supported when the stream is cancelable |
| Recipient transfer | Not supported for recurring streams |
Two Recurring Modes
Fixed recurring schedule
The sender defines:- total amount
- schedule duration
- interval cadence
Refillable recurring runway
The sender creates an open-ended recurring stream with refill enabled. In this mode:- the cadence is fixed
- the sender can add more runway later with a contract-aware refill action
- the stream detail page shows the current funded runway and refill controls
Refillable recurring streams must be topped up with the dedicated refill flow. Sending BCH
directly to the contract address is not the supported mechanism.
