FAQ
Common questions about DRIP, pricing, data accuracy, and how everything fits together.
What is DRIP?
DRIP is an AI-powered research intelligence agent on Solana. It analyzes companies, people, social signals, and on-chain data to deliver structured research briefs. Available as a web agent, CLI tool, and API.
Is DRIP custodial?
No. DRIP never holds your funds. Payments happen directly from your wallet to the DRIP treasury via Solana transactions. Your wallet keys stay with you — DRIP only receives signed payment proofs.
What is $DRIP used for?
$DRIP is a utility token with a deflationary mechanic. Revenue from API queries (paid in USDC) is used to buy $DRIP from the open market and burn it. It is not a governance token — there are no votes or proposals.
How do I get started?
The fastest path: open drip.surf/agent, connect your Solana wallet, and type a query. Or run npx drip-agent research anthropic.com from your terminal. See the Quickstart guide for details.
Is there an API?
Yes. DRIP exposes a full REST API at api.drip.surf with endpoints for company research, person enrichment, social intelligence, sentiment analysis, and market data. Authentication is handled via x402 payments — no API key needed. See the API Reference.
What are the fees?
Queries cost between $0.02 and $0.05 in USDC, depending on the endpoint. Market data is the cheapest (~$0.02), while full company research and AI brain queries are ~$0.05. There are no subscriptions or monthly fees.
How accurate is the data?
Every response includes a confidence score (0–1) and lists its data sources. DRIP cross-references multiple sources and flags conflicting signals. Typical confidence for well-known companies is 0.90+. Less-known entities may have lower scores with fewer sources.
Can I use DRIP for sales prospecting?
Yes. The person enrichment endpoint resolves emails and LinkedIn URLs into structured profiles — name, title, company, and contact info. The company research endpoint provides industry, funding, and tech stack data useful for targeting and qualification.
What happens if a query fails?
If DRIP cannot complete a query, you are not charged. The x402 payment is only verified and finalized when data is successfully returned. If the server errors after payment, the transaction is refundable via the dispute mechanism.
Do I need a Solana wallet?
Yes, for the web agent and API. DRIP uses x402 micropayments on Solana, which require a wallet (Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack). You need USDC (SPL) for query payments and a small amount of SOL for transaction fees.
