Roadmap
Built in the open. Everything under "shipped" is live at trydriplet.vercel.app and verifiable on-chain at /impact.
Shippedlive now
Live on Arc mainnet
Real USDC since 3 October. Creators are paid for every second watched and can withdraw to any wallet, and the StreamRegistry contract is source-verified on Sourcify.
Per-second payments
Sub-cent USDC per second watched, over x402 and Circle Gateway on Arc. 37,091 per-second payments on testnet before the move to mainnet, where every payment is counted live at /impact.
Autonomous stream treasury
Every stream splits its income live between the creator, a co-host, and its AI agent, each to their own wallet, no human in the loop.
Pay only for what you watch
Viewers prepay a small amount and watch it down by the second. Whatever they don't watch goes back to their wallet when they leave, less the transfer's fraction-of-a-cent network fee, so it can be spent on another creator.
A real AI co-host that earns
A live LLM writes real commentary and is paid per call out of the stream's own earnings. Budget-aware: it pauses itself rather than out-earn its share, and its ledger reasoning is on screen.
An AI patron that spends
An autonomous viewer agent with its own funded wallet decides what deserves its money and pays gaslessly from its own address. Every decision, refusals included, is public on the live proof page.
Pay from your own wallet
One USDC payment from any Arc wallet. Its network fee is paid in USDC too, about a tenth of a cent, so no second token and no deposit are needed.
Withdraw earnings to any wallet
Creator earnings collect in Circle Gateway and come out to any Arc address from the studio. The network fees come out of the withdrawal, so creators never need gas money up front.
Creator studio with auto-created wallets
Google or email sign-in creates a Circle wallet on Arc automatically. Go live, watch earnings settle, and see exactly what you've been paid.
Editable revenue splits
Creators set their own terms from the studio: what share of every second each payee gets, re-split any time.
Real live video, screen share, and chat
Broadcast a camera or upload a video, share your screen, chat live, save creator profiles, explore streams.
Decentralized storage end to end
Video files on Walrus, stream metadata recorded on-chain on Arc in a StreamRegistry contract, readable straight back from the chain.
Owncast per-second sidecar
A drop-in webhook subscriber that adds per-second pay to any self-hosted Owncast server, no fork, no proxy. Proven against a real Owncast instance.
Jellyfin per-minute VOD sidecar
Second member of the sidecar family, same settlement core. Tracks each viewer's actual playback position rather than wall-clock time, so pausing or seeking never gets billed as watched.
Building next
Face ID on mainnet
Face ID wallets already ran on testnet: no app, no seed phrase, no extension. On mainnet the wallet pays its own network fee in USDC, and it switches on after a live test. Email and your own wallet work today.
Passkey login for creators
Creators sign in and self-custody their payout wallet with Face ID, the same way viewers pay.
Live transcription for the co-host
The AI co-host hears real speech and captions it, so its paid work grows with the stream.
The sidecar family, continued
PeerTube next (payments plugin), plus a native Owncast plugin when v0.3.0's plugin system lands. Owncast and Jellyfin are already live today.
The big bet
Decentralized storage, coordinated on Arc
Driplet already proved a per-second settlement core: money flows continuously to whoever is delivering value right now. Pointed at storage instead of watching, that becomes a blob-storage protocol coordinated on Arc: independent providers bond USDC on-chain, store content-addressed blobs, answer availability challenges, and earn for every epoch they provably hold data. It would fill the gap that made us pair Arc with Walrus for video storage, and it's the kind of composable primitive the Arc ecosystem doesn't have yet. Same engine, much bigger road.
