An allowance that pays itself.
Pick a person, an amount, and a schedule — say $7 a day. Fill the pot, and Trickle pays them every day until it's empty. You choose what a skipped day means: forgiven, or owed and paid later. No fees, no company in the middle.
how it works
-
1 Set it up.
Choose who gets paid, how much, and how often — daily, weekly, or hourly.
-
2 Fill the pot.
Add money whenever you like — a week's worth or a year's worth. Anyone can top it up: grandma too.
-
3 It pays out.
One payment on every scheduled day, automatically. If the pot runs dry it just pauses — refill it and payments continue. Missed days are forgiven, or owed and caught up later: your choice.
You stay in charge: pause it, change the amount, or take back what's left, any time.
questions
What kind of money does it use?
Digital dollars (USDC) — a currency that always equals one US dollar. You send and receive it with a crypto wallet app; the payments run on low-cost networks, so a daily payout costs next to nothing.
Does it cost anything?
No. Trickle takes no fees and no cut — the recipient gets the full amount. The only cost is the network's tiny transaction charge.
What happens when the pot runs empty?
Payments stop — the pot can never go negative. What the missed days mean is your choice of setup: forgiven for good, or owed and paid the moment the pot is refilled.
Can I change my mind?
Yes, always. It's your trickle: pause it, change the person, amount, or schedule, or take back whatever is left in the pot.
Do I have to trust Trickle with my money?
No. The money sits in an open, unchangeable program that no one — including us — can touch or redirect. It can only ever do the one thing you set up: pay your person, on your schedule.
