DRIP is an autonomous research intelligence platform. It provides instant company research and people enrichment through two interfaces:
- Web Agent — chat-based interface at drip.surf/agent
- CLI Tool — terminal-based tool via
npx drip-agent
Queries cost ~$0.05 each, paid via AgentCash micropayments on the Solana blockchain. No subscriptions. No API keys. Pay per use.

Web Agent
The web agent at drip.surf/agent provides a chat interface to DRIP. You can:
- Ask natural language questions about companies
- Use quick-action buttons (Research Anthropic, Look up Coinbase)
- Connect your Solana wallet for paid queries
- View the live activity feed
The agent uses AI to understand your intent and automatically calls the right research tools.

npx drip-agent balance # Output: # 💧 DRIP Wallet # Address: 0x... # Balance: $8.80 USDC # Deposit: https://agentcash.dev/deposit/...
⚙️ setup
Set up an AgentCash wallet for paid queries. Optionally pass an invite code.

Pricing & Payments
DRIP uses pay-per-query pricing. No subscriptions, no monthly fees.
Payments are processed via AgentCash — a micropayment layer for AI agents. Payments settle instantly on the Solana blockchain in USDC.
The agent has its own wallet and pays data providers automatically. You fund the wallet, the agent handles the rest.
Wallet Setup
To use paid features, set up an AgentCash wallet:
Run npx drip-agent setup to create a wallet
Fund your wallet with USDC on Solana using the deposit link
Start researching — npx drip-agent research stripe.com
Wallet credentials are stored locally at ~/.agentcash/wallet.json
Programmatic Usage
drip-agent can be imported as a library in your Node.js projects:
import { companyResearch, personEnrich } from "drip-agent";
// Company research
const company = await companyResearch("openai.com");
console.log(company.data.organization.name);
// → "OpenAI"
// Person enrichment
const person = await personEnrich("sam@openai.com");
console.log(person.data.person.title);
// → "CEO"Install as a dependency:
npm install drip-agent
$DRIP Token
$DRIP is the utility token that powers the DRIP ecosystem on Solana.
Tokenomics
- Payment gate — hold $DRIP to access the research agent
- Buyback & burn — agent revenue buys back and burns $DRIP automatically
- Usage = scarcity — every query makes $DRIP scarcer
Where to Buy
$DRIP will be available on PumpFun (Solana). Contract address will be published on this page and announced on Twitter.
FAQ
Is the data real or AI-generated?
Real. DRIP pulls from verified data providers (StableEnrich), not LLM hallucinations. The AI agent orchestrates queries and formats results, but the underlying data is sourced from real databases.
Do I need a Solana wallet?
For the CLI: no wallet needed, payments happen through AgentCash. For the web agent: connecting a Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare) is required for paid queries.
How accurate is the data?
Data is sourced from professional-grade enrichment APIs. Accuracy is comparable to tools like Apollo or Clearbit. Always verify critical data independently.
Can I use this for sales prospecting?
Yes. Company research and person enrichment are commonly used for sales intelligence, due diligence, and competitive analysis. Respect applicable data privacy laws.
What happens if a query fails?
Failed queries are not charged. If the data provider returns no results, you won't be billed.
Is there an API?
Not yet. Use the CLI with JSON output (-f json) for scripting, or import drip-agent as a Node.js library for programmatic access.
