DRiP is a digital collectible distribution platform on Solana, focused on enabling creators to regularly publish compressed NFTs (cNFTs) to subscribers at no cost. The platform uses a points system (Droplets) to manage subscriptions and engagement, allowing users to earn points through daily tasks and use them to unlock additional content or participate in rarity upgrades. All collectibles are stored in users' wallets with on-chain ownership and can be traded on secondary markets. Creators can set their own release schedules, royalty rates, and snapshot rules, and receive donations directly from users.

About DRiP
DRiP is a digital collectibles platform on Solana where creators distribute free NFTs—art, music, videos, comics, and more—to subscribers on a recurring basis. Users earn an in-platform currency called Droplets through engagement (claimable every six hours after reaching bronze XP status) or by purchasing them directly. Spending Droplets mints a collectible as a verifiable on-chain NFT, which can be traded on marketplaces like Tensor. The platform's core strength lies in leveraging Solana's compressed NFT technology, which reduces minting costs to fractions of a cent, making large-scale free distribution economically viable—something impossible on most other chains. This addresses two key market pain points: high entry barriers for collectors (no upfront payment required) and unstable income for creators (they earn directly from likes, subscriptions, and tips). As of early 2024, DRiP had minted over 36 million collectibles with 500,000 collectors, peaking at 160,000 daily active wallets. In April 2024, Solana network congestion forced a shift from automatic airdrops to manual claiming, reducing on-chain activity but giving users more control. In April 2025, Jupiter acquired DRiP, with half the team continuing to operate the platform independently. In mid-2024, a mobile app launched with a natively embedded wallet to lower entry barriers for non-crypto users, and content expansion into podcasts, news, and video was planned. No native token exists, and none is planned.
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.
DRiP is a creator platform on Solana. Its co-founders are Joe Noon (Co-Founder & CTO) and Sean Kealey (Co-Founder & CXO). Joe Noon currently serves as CTO, focusing on technical development. Sean Kealey serves as CXO, overseeing customer experience. Both are based at Drip Labs, which is headquartered in San Francisco. The platform allows artists and creators to distribute digital works such as art and music to followers. Drip Labs has raised $11M in total funding, with a seed round led by NFX.
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.
