# How do Drip Pools work? - Advanced

Deposits in Drip Pools are placed in DeFi Vaults powered by various blue chip DeFi protocols. These vaults generate stable yield that is continually streamed to the project offering the Pool. 

Your idle assets are put to work in favor of the projects you choose to support, which enables these projects to give users the tokens they love in return.

Drip Pools rely on technology provided by [Spool Finance](https://www.spool.fi/), a heavily audited and battle-tested DeFi middleware with 5 independent audits by Trail Of Bits, Chainsecurity, Quantstamp, Peckshield, and Omniscia as well as an active ImmuneFi bug bounty.

The Pools exclusively leverage blue chip, battle-tested DeFi platforms such as Aave, Compound, Curve, Convex, Morpho, Lido, Gearbox, and Frax. As a general heuristic, Drip selected lending protocols for stablecoin based pools and LSTs for ETH based pools to minimize friction and maximize security.

All underlying strategies are immutable and visible on the UI at any time.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://drip.gitbook.io/drip-finance/how-do-drip-pools-work-advanced.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
