01 - Why Drip

Salary is paid monthly.
Value is created by the second.

The lump-sum payment model is a relic of paper checks. Drip fixes the temporal mismatch between work and XLM on Stellar Testnet.

Lump-sum, deferred
The old way
LEGACY
  1. Day 1Work begins. No payment.
  2. Day 15Still working. Still nothing.
  3. Day 30Invoice sent. Wait for bank wire.
  4. Day 33First payment lands.
Counterparty risk · cash flow gaps · trust required
Real-time, per-second
The Drip way
ACTIVE
  1. 00:00.000Stream initialized on Soroban.
  2. 00:05.000First settlement (Stellar Testnet).
  3. 00:10.000Funds withdrawable via Freighter.
  4. ContinuousXLM flows while value flows.
Trustless · zero gap · stop work, stop pay

Three pillars holding it up.

Soroban Smart Contracts

Leveraging Stellar's Soroban execution environment for per-second settlement. Streams settle continuously via the Drip contract — trustless, non-custodial.

02 - Use cases

Three economies. One protocol.

Stream XLM on Stellar Testnet for work, services, and controlled fund movement.

FOR HUMANS

Builder & contributor payouts.

Pay freelancers per second of work. Stop the task — stop the pay. No invoices, no Net-30, no awkward follow-ups.

  • Pause/resume from any device, instantly mirrored on-chain.
  • Per-second XLM precision — fairer than hourly.
  • Withdraw anytime, even mid-stream. No locked balances.
03 - Developer experience

Three lines to a live stream.

The Drip Soroban contract is live on Stellar Testnet. Call it directly with the Stellar SDK today, or wait for the planned drip-stellar SDK.

stellar-stream.tsTypeScript·
// Drip is live on Stellar Testnet — Soroban contract
// Connect with Freighter and call the contract below

import { SorobanRpc, Contract, TransactionBuilder } from "@stellar/stellar-sdk";

const rpc = new SorobanRpc.Server("https://soroban-testnet.stellar.org");
const contract = new Contract(DRIP_CONTRACT_ID);

// Create a stream — 0.001 XLM/sec, 0.5 XLM deposit (native XLM)
const tx = await contract.call(
  "create_stream",
  receiver,
  xdr.ScInt(10_000),         // stroops per second
  xdr.ScInt(5_000_000),      // deposit (0.5 XLM in stroops)
  xdr.ScInt(expiresAt),     // unix timestamp
);
