Reimagining the Internet with Web3 Tech
A New Era of User Experience
“My belief is the user experience of the internet is broken, but it doesn’t have to be that way,” says Vibhu Norby, co-founder and CEO of DRiP. He’s part of a generation of founders building a better way with web3 tech. “Solana is really the foundation of a new internet,” he says. “One that is owned by the people and by the apps and the things that are using it and that are built on top of it.”
Introducing DRiP: A Web3 App for Earning Collectibles
DRiP is an app for earning free collectibles like music, art, videos, and more from your favorite creators. DRiP sends millions of NFTs for free to collectors all over the world — something only possible on Solana — and it has grown into one of the most popular apps in all of web3.
How DRiP Works
You log in the app and start subscribing to creators that you like. In return, they give you their best work. And you own it. Digital media on DRiP spans the full spectrum of internet art — from illustrations, pixel art, and photography to news, podcasts, and even prank videos and live music streams.
The Power of NFTs
“We want you to be able to find things that you’re going to fall in love with,” says Norby. “The collectibles are NFTs. They are nonfungible tokens. When you own it, you can keep it, you can share it, you can trade it, you can sell it, you can buy it, you get the full economic expression that we have in the real world, but on the internet.”
Creators Earn Directly
DRiP creators earn directly for every like and subscriber. “On DRiP, we have a concept called ‘droplets,’” Norby explains. “When you subscribe to a creator, you’re giving them a couple droplets per month to receive what they’re making. It’s seamless. It’s instantaneous. It’s guaranteed. When you add that up across tens of thousands of fans, it becomes real income for them, it becomes meaningful. And that’s something you don’t get from traditional content platforms.”
The Future of the Internet
DRiP is redefining the way creators and collectors interact, and it’s changing the game for the better. With its web3 technology and NFTs, DRiP is paving the way for a new era of user experience.
Conclusion
DRiP is a shining example of what can be achieved with web3 technology and a commitment to innovation. As the internet continues to evolve, it’s exciting to think about what the future holds for apps like DRiP and the creators and collectors who use them.
