💧 DRiP Creator Payouts & USDC Accounts

🪙 How Payouts Work

Creators on DRiP earn 💧 droplets from various sources:

• 🫴 Thanks (Donations)

• 🔒 Secures

• 🔨 Auctions

• 🛍️ Storefront sales

Droplets earned between midnight–midnight PST are calculated once per day and paid out the following morning around 11am CDT in USDC directly to your payout wallet.
 

💰 Current Fee Structure

As of the latest payout model, DRiP no longer takes an upfront percentage of droplet purchases.
Instead, minimal fees apply directly to transactions on the payout side:

This structure increases the value of each droplet from $0.0007 → $0.001 USDC, giving creators higher and more consistent payouts.
 

🧮 Payout Timing & Calculation

All droplets earned during the accrual window (midnight–midnight PST) are totaled, converted into USDC, and paid out in one transaction daily.

For example:
If you earned 2,500 💧 droplets today, your payout of 2.5 USDC (minus applicable fees) will be issued tomorrow around 11am CDT.
 

🪙 USDC Accounts

DRiP issues payouts in USDC (Solana) to your connected payout wallet.
To receive them, you must have an active USDC token account with a small existing balance.

• Even 0.001 USDC is enough to keep your account open.

• If your USDC account is closed or has no active balance, payouts will pause automatically and accumulate until the account is reopened.

• Once reopened or funded, all pending payouts will be released in the next daily cycle.

💡 If you need to open or fund your USDC account, you can swap directly from your wallet (we recommend Jup Mobile for the smoothest experience)
 

✅ Summary

• Payouts occur daily around 11am CDT.

• Keep an active USDC (Solana) balance to receive them.

• Droplet value = 0.001 USDC.

• Platform fees apply only to transactions, not up front.

• If payouts pause, simply reopen or fund your USDC account — your total will resume automatically.
