DRIP is a decentralized finance (DeFi) investment option that provides a 1% daily return on investments up to 365%, functioning similarly to a certificate of deposit crossed with an annuity. Users deposit DRIP tokens into a "faucet" and receive a 1% daily return based on their deposit balance, with the option to "claim" or "hydrate" their available balance. The DRIP network uses a sustainable tax model to fund daily returns rather than relying on new investments. It aims to avoid issues like ponzi schemes through mechanisms like whale taxes, limited referrals, and capping maximum payouts at 365% of deposits. However, risks include price volatility and potential cybersecurity issues.

2. Certificates of Deposit & Annuities
Traditional Financial Options
annuity
noun, plural an·nu·i·ties.
a specified income payable at stated intervals for a fixed or a contingent period, often for the recipient's life,
based on a premium paid either in prior installment payments or in a single payment.
certificate of deposit
noun
a written acknowledgment of a bank that it has received from the person named a specified sum of money
as a deposit, often for a fixed term at a specified interest rate. According to Bankrate's most recent national
survey of banks and thrifts, the average rate is 0.19 percent for a one-year CD (April, 2022). Abbreviations:

3. How Does DRIP Work?
The Main Function
At anytime, you can Claim (cash out) or
Hydrate (compound) your Available Balance
into your Deposit Balance.
Claim or Hydrate
Deposit a minimum of 1 DRIP into the
Faucet. This deposit is permanent.
Invest
Receive 1% of your Deposit Balance every 24 hours.
This Daily Return does not occur all at once, at a
specific time. Instead, it is slowly dripped (or paid
out) into your Available Balance throughout the 24
hour period.

4. Hydrate?
“Compound Interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn't, pays it” –Albert Einstein
Your 1% Daily Return is
always based on your
Deposit Balance.
Increasing your Deposit
Balance also increases
your 1% Daily Return.
Increased 1%
Hydration is the key to
exponentially growing
your daily passive
income from DRIP.
Hydrating also
increases your Max
Payout.

rolls, or compounds, your
Available Balance into
your Deposit Balance.

5. Max Payout?
Long Term Sustainability
Increase your Max
Payout by increasing
your Deposit Balance
(Hydrating, Depositing,
receiving Airdrops and
Referral bonuses.)
Increase Your Max
Max Payout cannot exceed
100k DRIP. This limit
ensures no DRIP account
receives an unsustainably
large 1% Daily Return,
which would drain the
Network.
100,000 DRIP
Max Payout is always
365% of the Deposit
Balance. When your
Overall Claimed Balance
reaches your Max Payout,
your 1% Daily Return
ends.
365%

6. Staying Hydrated
When you Compound, 4 increases occur:
Deposit Balance x 3.65 = Max Payout.
Your Max Payout is always 365% of your
Deposit Balance. Therefore, by increasing
your Deposit Balance, your Max Payout
also increases according to the 365%
calculation.
Max Payout Increase
Deposit Balance x .01 = Daily Return
Your Daily Return is always 1% of your
current Deposit Balance. Therefore, when
your Deposit Balance increases, your
Daily Return also increases according to
the 1% calculation.
1% Daily Return Increase
Claiming or Hydrating from your Available
Balance increases your Overall Claimed
balance, and depletes the Available Balance.
Your 1% Daily Return continues to pay out and
increase your Available balance. Even on
holidays, DRIP’s still dripping.
Claimed Balance Increase
Your DRIP Deposit balance increases when
you hydrate, received Airdrops and
Referral bonuses, or deposit fresh capital.

9. A Sustainable Tax Model
All Daily Returns are funded by taxes
DRIP is a deflationary
asset because it
sustainably pays out
Daily Returns from the
tax pool. As demand
grows, supply is fixed.
Deflationary
Whales are accounts that
hold very large amounts of
a token. DRIP whales
receive higher Claim taxes
to prevent their Daily
Returns from draining
the tax pool.
Whale Tax
Creating, or minting, new
tokens increases total
supply and lowers
purchasing power.
Price Determination =
Supply + Demand
Inflation

10. Ponzi
Ponzi schemes are named after Charles Ponzi. In the 1920s, Ponzi promised investors a 50%
return within a few months for what he claimed was an investment in international mail
coupons. Ponzi used funds from new investors to pay fraudulent “returns” to earlier
investors. A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that pays existing investors with funds
collected from new investors (Investor.gov).
DRIP
DRIP is not dependent on new investors to pay daily returns. Daily returns are paid by the
sustainable tax pool system. DRIP was launched in April 2021 with a fixed supply of
1,000,000 DRIP tokens. New DRIP tokens have never been minted at the time of writing
(April 2022). Moreover, DRIP is an open source protocol powered by blockchain technology.
All DRIP transactions, smart contracts, the tax pool balance, token supply, and more can be
verified on the Binance Smart Chain explorer: BSCscan.com. All cashflows are “on chain” and
therefore, transparent.
Not a Ponzi or Pyramid Scheme
Common Misconceptions

11. Not a Ponzi or Pyramid Scheme
Common Misconceptions
Pyramid
In the classic "pyramid" scheme, participants attempt to make money solely by recruiting
new participants, usually where the promoter promises a high return in a short period
of time, no genuine product or service is actually sold, and the primary emphasis is
on recruiting new participants (Investor.gov).
DRIP
Again, DRIP is not dependent on new investors to pay daily returns. Returns are funded by
the network’s taxes. Team building is incentivized, but completely optional. The Round
Robin Referral system innovatively promotes organic growth, while limiting early investors
from achieving an unfair, unsustainable daily return. Anti-pyramid mechanisms include
whale tax, 1 Round Robin bonus recipient per positive action, a 15-downline maximum, and
the modified tax structure for teams of 5 or more. According DRIP’s lead developer, the
closest thing you can find in traditional markets to The DRIP Network is a high yield annuity
crossed with a Certificate of Deposit (CD).

12. The Risks
What can go wrong?
Price Volatility
The price of DRIP can fluctuate, just like any
financial asset. Cryptocurrency prices are
determined by many factors including token
supply and demand.
To mitigate this risk, DRIP has a fixed token
supply of 1,000,000 DRIP tokens. Also, the
network does not pay returns by minting new
tokens (inflation), instead it uses a sustainable
tax model to pay returns. If there’s a scenario
where the tax pool is depleted, new DRIP will
then automatically be minted by the Faucet
smart contract to ensure daily returns are always
paid.
Additionally, the tax model utilizes Game Theory
creatively by incentivizing positive actions that
promote platform sustainability. For example,
buying DRIP is tax free on the native DEX and
Hydrating is taxed 5%, instead of the standard
10%.
Other Mitigating Factors
The less DRIP in circulation (scarcity), the better
it is for DRIP’s price. Scarcity accompanied by
buying pressure (demand) is a strong dynamic
for positive price action.
All of Forex Shark’s DeFi projects apply this
powerful dynamic. BR34P is used in DRIP in a
way that removes sell pressure from BR34P and
as a result, strengthens its price.
Forex is doing the same thing with DRIP through
his newest DeFi project: The Animal Farm. In the
Animal Farm, DRIP is being used as a core asset
to unlock additional benefits. The way Forex
Shark designs his projects to compliment each
other in an interwoven DeFi economy is
innovative, efficient, and highly effective for
price appreciation.

13. The Risks
What can go wrong?
Cyber-Security
There are a lot of bad actors in the
cryptocurrency space. Scams and malware are
serious threats that must be assessed and
accounted for. Also, DeFi protocols can get
hacked and funds permanently lost. Proper
security measures must be taken.
Thankfully, DRIP Network's smart contracts have
been audited by Slither, a Solidity static analysis
framework. Solidity Finance is a 3rd party
company that inspects smart contracts coding
for any security flaws, private functions, or
anything malicious that could cause fraud.
DRIP’s coding is also open source, or available
for anyone to inspect.
Additionally, DRIP’s smart contracts are
immutable, meaning they cannot be changed. All
the rules that govern the DRIP Network are
permanent and cannot be tampered with or
modified. Therefore, the appropriate term for
the DRIP Network is a DeFi Protocol.
In addition to DRIP’s internal security, another
cyber-security risk to address is
crypto wallet security.
Ledger + MetaMask
The safest way to store cryptocurrency is in a
Hardware Wallet, or cold wallet. This device
keeps your private keys (secret password for
sending crypto) inside a device that never
connects to the internet (“cold” storage). Never
buy from 3rd party vendors. Visit
shop.ledger.com
MetaMask is a popular hot wallet, which stores
your private keys online, making them
vulnerable to hackers. MetaMask is a free
Chrome extension that can register with crypto
websites (like Drip.community). Be extremely
selective about which websites you connect your
MetaMask to, especially if using without a Ledger
Hardware Wallett. Ledger and MetaMask have a
formal partnership, making it very simple to
connect your Ledger to your MetaMask and use
them together. For added security, Brave
browser is can be used with a VPN like
ProtonVPN.
