About DRiP
DRiP is a digital collectibles distribution platform on Solana where creators open channels and subscribers claim free art, music, comics and game items on a recurring basis, with auctions and a store alongside. It targets high NFT minting and distribution costs, a market centred on trading, and the difficulty creators face reaching an audience repeatedly at low cost: compressed NFTs push the marginal cost of an issuance close to zero, making free high-frequency distribution viable while creators monetise through tips rather than primary sales. It runs on compressed NFTs and state compression with channel subscriptions, Droplets tipping and a supporter leaderboard.
The Discover interface remains usable, and third-party directories record its public account as last updated on 24 April 2026, with no independently verified product release since. Since April 2025 the platform has been owned by Jupiter while the brand and product operate separately. The free-distribution model rests on two things: stable indexing and display of compressed NFTs, and whether tip revenue covers creators' production costs.
In the past six months, DRiP has accelerated its shift from a creator distribution platform to a consumer-grade application. In June 2026, it officially launched a mobile app with an embedded native wallet, allowing new users to claim weekly free drops without a pre-existing Solana wallet, significantly lowering the barrier to entry. Built on Solana compressed NFTs, the platform has minted over 36 million collectibles, with peak daily active wallets reaching 160,000. Following the Jupiter acquisition, DRiP operates independently—half of the team continues iterating on the distribution platform, while the other half integrates NFT capabilities into Jupiter's super-app ecosystem, strengthening NFT trading and portfolio management. Future focus is clear: mobile becomes the core use case; content types expand from visual art and music to video, podcasts, and news; deeper integration with Jupiter's Swap and Portfolio; continued exploration of brand marketing and token-launch synergies; no native token, with Droplets points and Perks sustaining creator-collector communities. These moves signal DRiP's evolution from a free-airdrop tool into Solana's on-chain content distribution and loyalty infrastructure.
Vibhu Norby — Founder & CEO; previously founded retail-tech company b8ta, started DRiP in 2022, sold it to Jupiter in 2025 and is now Chief Product Officer at the Solana Foundation.
Joe Noon — Co-founder; helped build the Solana creator-subscription and digital collectibles platform.
DRiP, a digital collectibles platform in the Solana ecosystem, has seen a key team change: co-founder and CTO Joe Noon departed in April 2026.
Joe Noon had served in this role since March 2023, leading technical development. Previously, DRiP was acquired by Jupiter in 2025, with the team continuing to operate independently. This departure may affect the platform's future technical iterations, though official transition details have not been disclosed.
