drip

Project Overview drip is a pay-as-you-consume streaming platform that eliminates subscription waste through blockchain-powered micropayments. Watch Netflix content for $0.50/hour instead of paying $16/month ($5.33/hour) - delivering 10x cost savings.

The Problem • Average user pays $16/month for Netflix but only watches 3 hours = $5.33/hour • $2.2 billion wasted annually on unused streaming subscriptions • 67% of consumers have subscriptions they barely use

Our Solution • Real-time micropayments: Pay per minute of actual viewing • Coinbase Smart Wallet integration: Seamless crypto transactions • Massive savings: $174/year vs traditional subscriptions • Live demo: Working prototype

Key Innovation Blockchain-powered precision payments that track viewing to the second and charge accordingly. Users connect their Coinbase wallet, start streaming and pay only for content consumed - no subscriptions, no waste.

Technical Stack • React frontend with real-time payment tracking • Coinbase Smart Wallet integration

Market Impact • $24B streaming market with 73% wanting usage-based pricing • Target savings: 90% cost reduction for casual viewers • Viral potential: Everyone has subscription waste experience • Expansion ready: Works for live events, gaming, education

Why drip Wins • Solves real problem: Subscription waste affects millions • Working demo: Full functional prototype, not just concept • Massive savings: 10x cost reduction with clear ROI • Perfect crypto use case: Micropayments solve actual consumer pain • Production ready: Scalable architecture for mass adoption

The application is built on Next JS and uses the CDP embedded wallet to allow the user to have funds specific to a provider (HBO Max, Netflix, etc). When logged in we provide a way to start and stop a session with the server. The server has a "challenge" 402x endpoint that gets challenged every minute (which could be dynamically changed). To continue having your session the wallet pays for the challenge. If it fails the session is killed. If you stop it or leave the page the session is killed. This allows you to "pay as you go", its a drip of payment vs handing over the kitchen sink.
