BIC: We\u2019re getting ready for our AMA session! Today we have a special guest here \u2013 the CEO & Co-Founder of DRiP NFT platform.<\/p>\n
🗣 COMMUNITY\u00a0<\/p>\n
As usual, I\u2019ll have some questions for today\u2019s speaker from the DRiP side. After that, he will answer the 5 most interesting questions from you (quick reminder: we collected these questions in advance!) 🔥 These 5 lucky Community members will get $20!<\/p>\n
Vibhu, let\u2019s start with the basics. Please introduce yourself and your project.<\/p>\n
Vibhu Norby:<\/p>\n
Hey! I\u2019m Vibhu Norby (Follow me on Twitter: @vibhu) and I\u2019m the founder of DRiP (@drip_haus).<\/p>\n
DRiP is the #1 and fastest growing collectibles platform in crypto, with around 150,000 daily users and 400,000 collectors monthly. Why? It\u2019s free to start and receive your first on-chain art, music, or videos. You can find us at drip.haus. Use a Phantom wallet on Solana and my code TACOTACO to sign up free.<\/p>\n
BIC: Community, don\u2019t miss this offer! I tried to sign up for free myself (otherwise you need to have 0.1 Solana on your wallet balance), but now I\u2019ll use this code! Okay. What is your goal as the web3 project? What opportunities does your platform provide for collectors and creators?<\/p>\n
Vibhu Norby:<\/p>\n
Our goal is to fix the broken business models on the internet around content: expensive subscriptions, paywalls, and boring ads.<\/p>\n
DRiP connects creators and fans directly through digital ownership. Collectors can give back to support creativity and score rare tradable digital goods in return. Creators build large, engaged, grateful audiences.<\/p>\n
A collector last week donated $500 to a creator, and 12 hours later sold the collectible they received for $15,000!<\/p>\n
BIC: But last November, the popular NFT marketplace OpenSea laid off more than 50% of its staff and one of OpenSea\u2019s investment backers reduced shares by 90%. Many believe that the popularity of NFTs has passed and is unlikely to return\u2026 What do you think about it? What does the future hold for the NFT market?<\/p>\n
Vibhu Norby:<\/p>\n
DRiP is unlike anything else seen in NFTs before. We\u2019ve distributed over 125 million collectibles in the last year.<\/p>\n
I personally think some of the things that happened in 2021 with NFTs will never happen again. But long term, the format just makes sense. It introduces real world mechanics for digital objects. That\u2019s never going away, it simply will change. I think DRiP is a perfect example.<\/p>\n
BIC: In terms of diversification, how does DRiP Haus enable users to mitigate risks by allocating their assets? Does the platform offer any guidance or recommendations to optimize diversification?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vibhu Norby:<\/p>\n
DRiP is a very simple product, we don\u2019t store any assets for users. Our goal is to help you discover and support creators.<\/p>\n
BIC: I read your X and saw a ton of retweets from artists who are active on your platform. How do you attract creators? What advantages of the platform do you think are the main reasons for choosing DRiP by artists?<\/p>\n
Vibhu Norby:<\/p>\n
Creators are choosing DRiP in droves at the moment. We receive many through referrals, from our collector base, from other crypto projects.<\/p>\n
Artists choose DRiP because the product is the perfect match between Web2 and Web3 content platforms. Audience and engagement like Web2, monetization and digital ownership like Web3. It\u2019s the platform creators have dreamed about for years.<\/p>\n
BIC: Tell us about the selection process for assets listed on DRiP Haus. What criteria are considered to ensure the inclusion of high-quality and sustainable projects?<\/p>\n
Vibhu Norby:<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t curate assets, but we do select creators. We\u2019re always looking for something new. Ultimately though it\u2019s not our job to find high quality content, it\u2019s to give ways for the cream to rise to the top.<\/p>\n
BIC: Sounds interesting! If I want to become an NFT-artist, what do I need to do? What should I pay attention to when choosing an NFT marketplace? Share your advice for future NFT-artists!<\/p>\n
Vibhu Norby:<\/p>\n
There are so many options on Solana and other chains to create. Best advice is to collect before you create. Get to know other artists and creators that you admire. Network and interact. Then when you\u2019re ready, pick a platform you like and go for it.<\/p>\n
BIC: At the end of January, you released a collection in collaboration with the famous millionaire biohacker billionaire biohacker Bryan Johnson. Tell us about this project. What reaction did this collaboration provoke from the DRiP community?<\/p>\n\n
Vibhu Norby:<\/p>\n
Haha yeah, that was pretty cool. Bryan is awesome. He collaborated with Degen Poet on a series of art made on a typewriter. It was super well received within DRiP, there were something like 120,000 or maybe 150,000 participants.<\/p>\n
BIC: Who else are you planning collaborations with?<\/p>\n
Vibhu Norby:<\/p>\n
We just recently announced a partnership with Worldcoin, and many top teams building on Solana like Pyth, Wen, Parcl, SharkyFi, and many more, are coming. We launch a new protocol or dApp partnership every week.<\/p>\n
BIC: I know that your platform provides a rewards system for collectors. How can users earn them?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vibhu Norby:<\/p>\n
That\u2019s right, users earn Droplets on our platform, which can be spent on collectibles, donations, likes, and so on. They provide mobility in our platform. You can earn them every 6 hours.<\/p>\n
BIC: Ok, Vibhu. It will be the last question from me.\u00a0Tell us about your airdrop on the Airdrop Arcade platform by Bybit. How can our community members participate in it? And what prizes can they get?<\/p>\n
Vibhu Norby:<\/p>\n
Yes, sure. You can visit the link here, login to Bybit, and complete the tasks. At the end of the Arcade event, we\u2019ll airdrop you a special edition collectible made by Nani3ko, one of our popular creators.\u00a0<\/p>\n
BIC: It\u2019s time for the questions from our Community 😈 The first one is by\u2026 @Gamemode619:<\/p>\n
Can you elaborate on the technology behind DRiP\u2019s optimization process, particularly the use of Compressed NFTs powered by a Merkle Tree structure? How does this technology reduce costs and enhance efficiency for NFT creation and storage?<\/p>\n
Vibhu Norby:<\/p>\n
Yes, absolutely. DRiP is powered by state compression, a novel model for efficiently storing data on-chain. It allows us to send around a million NFTs for $1000 or so. Compared to most chains, it\u2019s several orders of magnitude cheaper.<\/p>\n
You can learn more in this video from earlier this week made with the Solana Foundation on how DRiP is only possible on Solana: <\/p>\n
