1/10 π Today weβre thrilled to unveil the next iteration of Drips π
Drips is a decentralized toolkit for funding public goods, that builds on the interdependence of software projects & people.
π§π§
Hereβs everything you need to know π
Say hello to Dripsπ§, a new web3 protocol, built by the
@radicle
DAO, that allows anyone to generate continuous income using subscriptions and NFT memberships π
π π
So, whatβs a drip? π
6/10 πDrips also comes with an optional, oracle-based identity solution, powered by
@chainlink
. π
It reduces friction by enabling users to send funds to the owners of public software repositories on Github, even if its owners don't have an Ethereum address yet.
π’ Big news from Dripsπ§
Itβs official: after passing with overwhelming support, we're actioning a proposal committing $1M in RAD and USDC tokens to fund crucial open-source software dependencies π°
"Open-source code forms the backbone of the crypto ecosystem." π±
We couldn't agree more. Big thank you to friends

For anyone interested in learning more, check out
3/10 Inspired by
@optimismFND
@retropgf
π΄and
@ProtocolGuild
, Drips takes these ideas even further by providing:
π§ a generalised platform for similar experiments
π§ a streamlined process tailored to software projects and
π§ the option to use a continuous payout
π’π’ New feature alert!π¨π¨
The MULTI DRIP LIST is live! π₯³ β¨
Create, manage, share & nest multiple Drip Lists independently, from a single account, unlocking way more advanced cashflow use cases π
We've also made it easier to support other people's projects & Drip Listsβ¦
1/8 Did you hear the big news?π
@Octantapp
has become the newest org to fund their critical software dependencies via Drips! π§π§π§
Based on the first two Epochs a cool 23.2 ETH ($59k) is on itβs way to their Drip List πΈ
Drips was created to reimagine the way we fund the communities and builders that we rely on for our mutual success.
See how the Radworks team used Drips to fund their critical dependencies π
Funds are π»ππππΎπππππππ now to 30 critical projects!π§
We split $1 million in total, over 1 year, between 30 critical software dependencies - 15 from Drips, 11 from Radicle & 4 from Grants.
To do it, we set up Drip Lists for each Org, like this π
π’ BIG NEWS for Ratatui!
πΈ We received a funding donation from
@radicle
π
π Read the details on my blog:
π "Ratatui Received Funding: What's Next?"

@ratatui_rs

β¦
4/10 π§At the heart of Drips is the idea of a Drip List.
This is a collection of Ethereum addresses,
@ensdomains
and Git repos put together under one title. Each item is accompanied by a % of funds to be received.
Drip lists form a graph of software projects and contributorsβοΈ
9/10 π Join Drips and Fund your Dependencies π
Ready to make it rain? π¦Visit and fund your dependencies or join our discord and we can help you get started.
8/10 As part of this launch, we are happy to announce a proposal on the
@radworks_
forum to allocate $1m over a year to the key dependencies of the
@radworks_
ecosystem! πΈ
What's up Taipei?! πΉπΌ π
The Drips team are here and ready to rock
@FundingCommons
tomorrow & Sunday
#FTCTaipei
Take a look at the full agenda hereπππ
1/3 Drips means interdependence π¦
Partnering with our friends at
@OctantApp
for Epoch 3 π₯³ Drips sends 100% of its allocation straight to Octant's Drip List π
Up to date 24 projects on Octant's dependency tree have received more than $130k from Octantβ¦
7/10 We hope that this new platform will inspire a multitude of exciting experiments in the public goods space. π
You can read more about some of the ideas we β€οΈ here:
2/10 πWe started Drips inspired by software dependency trees. π
To us, dependencies illustrate a profound truth: we are all interdependent, and our success hinges upon the success of others. πͺ΄
So what if we could engineer new mechanisms that harness this interdependency? π€
Excited for this next chapter and grateful to be part of the
@radworks_
ecosystem as we continue to drive our shared vision forward!
Learn more about
@radworks_
by reading the full announcementπ
Weβre excited to announce the start of the next chapter in our long march towards a freer internet: Radworks π±
Radworks is the community-governed network behind
@radicle
(p2p code collaboration) &
@dripsnetwork
(p2p fund sharing & splitting).
π»Calling all hackers π»
In preparation for our upcoming Drips V2 launch, we are partnering with
@code4rena
for a 9 day auditing contest. π§
Come break our contracts and get paid!! π
$90,500 USDC is up for grabs in our latest audit!
@dripsnetwork
is built to stream and split funds, and they're looking for your help in identifying vulnerabilities in their codebase π«‘
Happy hunting:
5/10 Drip lists are public, shareable and open for anyone to create and fund with any ERC-20 token, either as a one-off payment or as a continuous stream settled by the second.
We think that Drips offers the most flexible & comprehensive infrastructure for ongoing support. π
π¨Drips was the second most voted project in
@Octantapp
βs Epoch Two π±
Weβre very grateful to everyone who chose to support us & helped us raise 21.3845 ETH!
These funds will now flow directly to Octantβs critical dependencies and continue dripping down to other worthy andβ¦

@radicle
there is no support for gnosis chain at the moment or for dripping $UBI tokens. the team is working on adding the ability on the UI to drip any token, so stay tuned.
We want to say thank you to
@dripsnetwork
for their generous support of FTC Berlin. You've put so much intentionality into
#FTCBerlin
and we are forever grateful.π
@davidrosebjj
Drips has been funded by the
@radworks_
/ $RAD community.
Also the Drips contracts are technically governable by the $RAD token holders on chain. Any update to the contracts would have to be approved by the $RAD token holders.

Epoch 3 the more funds will cascade down to these new dependencies and beyond!
Vote for Drips during Epoch 3 to fund this list and continue creating a network of support & interdependence among open-source projects π€πβ¦
From just ONE Drip List (thanks
@octantapp

- 3 degrees out from Octant π±
Impact is cascading down the dependency tree. If this is as exciting for you as it is for us, then vote for Drips! π³β¬οΈ
