As privacy is a cornerstone for enabling trust and decentralization, throughout our interactions, we continue to recognize the critical need to support privacy-centric initiatives. Drips for Privacy facilitates ongoing, transparent funding streams to the community recognized projects.
With the conclusion of Privacy Proof 2024 Awards, we have partnered with Drips to co-create a reward structure aimed directly towards the projects that have been nominated by the community (70+ GitHub repositories and 6 Ethereum wallets addresses).

Drips is a decentralized funding protocol that enables continuous, transparent, and programmable financial support for open-source projects. Instead of relying on one time donations, contributors can set up ongoing funding streams, ensuring that builders receive sustainable support over time.
Drips allows projects to allocate a portion of their funds further to their dependencies, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem - enabling more than $1.5M in funding dripped! Made possible by a talented team from Radworks focusing on open-source code development.
Project Selection: After careful consideration and community-driven Privacy Proof 2024 Awards nominations we have put together 3 lists:
Favourite Pro-Privacy Project
Exciting Innovation
Major News or Key Event
Project Onboarding: The projects in the lists can claim their project on Drips on Optimism and configure which maintainers and dependencies they want to share their funds with.
Community and Partners Call to Action: Supporters of privacy initiatives can donate funds directly to the Drip List created on Optimism Network.
Sustainable Support: In addition to one-time donations, or specific time limited rounds, Drips also allows for continuous funding. Any time (from the deployment) the Drip List will be open and distributing funds according to the set list for projects selected in 2024: Become a supporter.
