# SmartFlow

## What is SmartFlow?

SmartFlow is a tool enabling trustless, decentralized business operations. It offers the following benefits when facing comparable solutions:

* **Decentralized & trustless**: Built with Worker Node technology
* **Ease of use:** No-code, drag & drop editor
* **Enterprise accessible:** Supported by Launchpad, a robust SaaS platform with Enterprise grade capabilities
* **Ecosystem fit:** Direct connection between creators (enterprises creating the business logics and solutions) and operators (worker nodes)

## Core Concepts

SmartFlow is based on 3 core components:

* [**Solution Groups**](#solution-group)
* [**Business Logics**](#smartflows)
* [**Solutions**](#smartflows)

#### **Solution Group**

A Solution Group defines the lifecycle & governance parameters for the pool of solutions assigned to them.

Once they are published, Solution groups are added to the EW Marketplace app, allowing the subscription of Worker Nodes that will run the solution contained in the group.

#### **Business Logics**

The Business logic is the file capturing the executable work logic that is stored in IPFS.&#x20;

#### Solutions

Solutions are the EWX wrapper for the Business logic that define the lifecycle & governance parameters for that logic.

## How does SmartFlow work?

SmartFlow allows users to:

* Create Business logics in a no-code NodeRed editor with the help of predefined templates
* Deploy Solutions on EWX that encapsulates the business logic
* Publish Solution Groups to EWX
* Add Solutions to public or owned Solutions Groups

Once the Solutions are live in a Solution group, [Worker Nodes](https://docs.energyweb.org/core-concepts/worker-nodes-and-worker-node-networks) take over on EWX:&#x20;

* The Worker Node Operators select a Solution Group to stake EWTs in.&#x20;
* The Worker Nodes execute all active solutions within the chosen Solution Group by downloading and implementing the business logic.
