Drips Network launches Wave 5 on May 26th with per-organization points caps (75k per cycle), upfront identity verification to eliminate payout delays, refined AI-based appeals for contribution disputes, and strengthened backend systems. The focus shifts toward fairness and operational health.
Drips Network's Stellar Wave 5 launches May 26th with significant operational refinements designed to strengthen fairness and platform integrity. The centerpiece is new per-organization points budgets capping accumulation at 75k per cycle, preventing large ecosystems from crowding out smaller projects. Identity verification moves to wave start rather than end, eliminating payout bottlenecks and enhancing Sybil resistance. The AI-based points appeal process receives major improvements including better maintainer context detection, tighter review timelines, and deeper code analysis. Behind the scenes, the engineering team invested heavily in stability, optimization, and new detection systems for rule-breaking behavior. Customer support operations are expanding to address recent response time delays.
