Drip Rewards Overview
The introduction of the SYRUP token enhances alignment between the Maple and Syrup ecosystems and enables the protocol to capture value from institutional credit markets through DeFi. The Drips Rewards Program is an innovative rewards program that enables users to earn SYRUP by creating rewards for early participation and long-term commitment.
Each earning period for earning rewards is known as a Season, each lasting one quarter. Users accumulate Drips on a 4H, with the base rate established as 1 Drip per 1 USDC per day. Users can then perform actions that will increase this base rate, such as depositing into Syrup using one of our wallet integration partners or leveraging syrupUSDC throughout DeFi. These small actions translate directly into boosted rewards for users.
In addition to these incentives and enhancements, depositors can also boost their Drip rewards by taking a more substantial stake in the Syrup ecosystem:
A 3-month capital commitment to the Syrup platform will earn a 1.5x multiplier on the user’s base rate.
A 6-month capital commitment would ensure a 3x multiplier on the user’s base rate.
These Boosts are designed to reward substantial actions that support the long term growth of Syrup. Boosts can also be compounded by participating in more than one incentivized activity.
Drips Claiming
Syrup users can see exactly when they will be able to claim their $SYRUP tokens, earned with the Drips they collected. Drips recipients will be eligible to convert their Drips to SYRUP and staked SYRUP (stSYRUP).
The Drips campaign was launched as a way to incentivize early users to join and participate in the overall growth of Maple and Syrup. It has been a massive success and spawned integrations with the largest DeFi players including OKX, Pendle, Morpho and Ether.fi.
All SyrupFi users qualify for Drips and can see their current Drips allocation, broken down per season, on syrup.fi/drips. This also includes Pendle and OKX users.
Each new claim window opens on the 18th at 12 PM UTC and closes on the 18th of the following month at 3 AM UTC.
SyrupFi Season 1, 2 and 3 participants were able to start claiming their $SYRUP tokens from Drips on December 18th at 12pm UTC on syrup.fi/drips.
For seasons 4-7, users could start claiming ⅓ of their rewards on February 18 while the remaining ⅔ will unlock on March 18.
For seasons 8-10, users will be able to claim their rewards in full the month following the start of the season.
$SYRUP token rewards unlock in full. Unlocks are always at 12pm UTC. Once the tokens are unlocked, they will be instantly claimable without any vesting, including for everyone who has committed their deposits.
Please note that the tokens are only claimable until the next claim date starts. As an example, for Drips season one, you were be able to claim the first third of the allocated SYRUP tokens between the 18th of December at 12pm UTC and the 18th of January at 12pm UTC. Unclaimed tokens are returned to the treasury.

Once the tokens are unlocked, they will be instantly claimable without any vesting, including for everyone who has committed their deposits. Only the tokens earned during the specified Drips season will unlock. All subsequent SYRUP earned from Drips will unlock at the later dates for those respective seasons except for seasons 8-10 where rewards are unlocked in full the following month.
