ANNOUNCING DRIPSTER INCUBATOR: TOP-TIER COOKS, EVERY 2 WEEKS. From here on, Dripster will regularly launch its own home-baked drops, ranging from products and collabs to contests, wild social experiments, and other subversive, virality-prone launches. In many ways, these will serve as a blueprint for the kinds of creative activations others can cook on Dripster. Our first drop will be a contest with a 420 SOL prize for the winner ($80,000) and shared upside for all. Make sure to follow. This 420 SOL is within anybody's reach. You’ve probably trained hard for this moment your whole life without knowing it. This first drop and ticker will be announced mid-August. An everlasting pump for which the success is truly in your hands. 🫠🥚🫠

today's @Emily_Sundberg headline really hitting on all my interests at once. crypto prediction markets meets fashion gossip with a spot on recount of the spectacle/microcosm that has become of LIRR passengers... this is the reporting we need more of, and why her letter remains 👑

a little over a year ago, @spvenino33 was telling me how he was listening to his onchain songs + podcasts directly from his coinbase wallet... which is both hilarious and quite odd if you think about it. with the new the @baseapp, it's way less odd. cool to see how the wallet has evolved to essentially a base superapp for social, chat, trading, discovery, and more. 🟦🟦🟦

so BULLish. @ScottiePippen 🤝 @dripsterdotfun (mixes pump mechanics with physical product drops) love that more celebrities, creators, and athletes are creating more novel merch + physical products while adding a fun element of speculation with it. as more and more things get tokenized, we are seeing the next wave of coins be dripcoins, content coins, songcoins, podcastcoins, etc.

The Uniswap interface now routes through @clankeronbase hooks Clank clank 🤖

the most referenced app for us with @tybxyz design team right now is candy crush i’ll keep going on about this: not nearly enough consumer products, especially in crypto, use mechanisms from games that consistently hit 1 billion revenue per year they have incentive structures, economies, ux, and expressive ui figured out like no one else, literally all out in public

1/ 🚨 Big news for emerging markets finance: @jia_DeFi just launched its first onchain credit facility on @arbitrum with @CreditCoop_xyz 🇵🇭 Structured SME lending — now onchain. Global capital meets local impact. Here’s what that means 🧵👇

The next Nike will be community founded, funded, and owned. @jessepollak and @TYBXYZ's @tyhunnny sat down at State of Crypto to talk about the future of brand building.

Dripster v1.5 is now live. A new era for product drops begins. Here’s what’s new:

A few thoughts on the @dripsterdotfun v1.5 release later today. Our ambition with Dripster is to build a launchpad that: ➡️ Feels intuitive to mainstream users ➡️ Provides tangible value beyond tokenization ➡️ Gets thousands of cultural icons to launch tokens for the first time Today, coins on Pump trading above $10m usually have around 20k holders. Coins on Believe trading above $5m have around 5-8k holders. Our North Star is for Dripster to become the first launchpad where top coins reach 50, 75, and 100k holders within the first 48hrs on a consistent basis. To do that, we need: ➡️ Launchers with millions of followers, credibility, and the potential to drop a truly iconic product ➡️ A primitive, dripcoins (aka product drops), that is easily understandable by the fans and communities of these launchers, whether they are crypto native or not ➡️ A UX that doesn't scare, and intuitively guides fans through every hoop Our bet is that with these 3 parts of the equation solved, we will create another OpenSea-like moment for crypto. But one anchored on physical collectibles, not digital ones. We’ve so far presented Dripster as a product launchpad, but the platform’s vision is better described by this notion of “physical collectibles”. One where products with true cultural significance are launched and traded in a fully liquid manner. Here are a few examples of the type of launches we aim to power for our community: ➡️ A boxing legend retires. Drops a limited-edition framed pair of gloves as the official collectible wrapping their career ➡️ An iconic rapper loses his brand deal for sneakers. Goes direct with the next one and launches it as a dripcoin, sharing the upside with his community and removing intermediaries between them and customers ➡️ The #1 NFL draft launches a unique piece ahead of his first game, with the value of the token becoming a barometer of how big that athlete might become ➡️ A rock band launches their official tour drip ahead of their new album premiere as a dripcoin ➡️ A WNBA badass protects her teammate on the court. Then drops a dripcoin featuring a collectible figure that captures the moment The opportunities for culturally relevant drops are endless. And the reach they can get is unmatched. Dripcoins become the community’s vehicle to price just how far and wide they will spread. Obviously, the launchpad will always be open to all. It is a playground where everybody can succeed at bringing their idea to life. But as the tide that lifts all boats, we make it our mission to bring iconic drops that will build on the work of others to make crypto truly mainstream. Excited for you to see and feel the new Dripster look. We’re calling it 1.5 because there’s still a long way to go. There’s a world between where we are and where we’re going. But we’re in this ride for the big prize. Dripster will change the game. v1.5 █████████▒ 99%
