Drips for Privacy
A continuous funding stream for privacy projects built on the Drips protocol.
OPEN INITIATIVE
Drips for Privacy was created to transform the Privacy Proof 2024 Awards into a more durable funding mechanism for privacy projects. Rather than ending with a one-time round, it introduced a way to keep supporting recognized projects over a longer period. Built on Drips and deployed on Optimism, the initiative organized selected nominees into three lists: Favourite Pro-Privacy Project, Exciting Innovation, and Major News or Key Event. Projects could claim their repositories, define maintainers and dependencies, and receive funds through a recurring onchain distribution model. The campaign covered more than 70 GitHub repositories and 6 Ethereum wallet addresses. Its main result was the creation of a continuous funding rail for privacy-focused open-source work, designed to distribute support over time instead of through a single payout.

The same tools that are threatening freedom can also become its agents if understood and used with consciousness and care. Change and Freedom start with small but mindful choices. Let's work together on them!
