Jupiter Mobile App Welcomes DRiP Acquisition – A New Era for NFTs in Our Jupiverse

So thrilled to share a groundbreaking update that’s set to elevate our experience on the Jupiter mobile app! As of April 2, 2025, Jupiter, has acquired DRiP Haus, a leading digital collectibles platform on the Solana blockchain. This move marks Jupiter’s first major step into the world of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and it’s already generating buzz across the Solana ecosystem. With the DRiP acquisition now official, we can expect exciting NFT integrations in to the mobile app, and I’m here to break down what this means for us as a community of users and investors.

What is DRiP?

DRiP Haus, often just called DRiP, is a Solana-based platform that has become the number one hub for digital collectibles on the blockchain. Unlike traditional NFT trading platforms that focus on buying and selling, DRiP emphasizes distribution and community engagement. It allows creators,think artists, musicians, and brands,to share their digital works, such as art, music, and videos, with their followers as free or low-cost NFT collectibles. DRiP has already made a name for itself by generating the majority of “legitimate” NFTs on Solana (those that aren’t spam), with millions of collectors and thousands of creators on board. It’s also known for helping brands like Pudgy Penguins and Doodles expand their presence on Solana, showcasing its marketing prowess in the Web3 space.

How DRiP Fits into Jupiter Mobile

You might have noticed the new 💧 icon labeled “DRIP” in the Jupiter mobile app menu, alongside features like Trigger, Trenches, Recurring, Vote, and Perps. following the acquisition. Posts on X from Jupiter’s team confirm that DRiP’s NFT features will soon be woven into various Jupiter products, including Jupiter Mobile, Portfolio, and even Swaps . 

Here’s what we can look forward to:

- NFT Integration in the App: DRiP’s expertise will bring a “really excellent NFT experience” to Jupiter Mobile, as stated by DRiP’s founder, Vibhu Norby. This could mean we’ll soon be able to collect, view, and interact with NFTs directly from our mobile app, with a seamless interface similar to what DRiP already offers.

- New Distribution Channels: DRiP’s model of distributing digital collectibles will open up new ways for us to engage with creators. Imagine getting free NFT drops from your favorite artists or brands right within the Jupiter app, or even participating in native crypto auctions on your phone,a feature DRiP has already pioneered on its own mobile app.

- Enhanced Creator and Collector Experience: With DRiP’s team now part of the Jupiverse, we’ll likely see tools that make it easier for creators to share their work and for us to collect and support them. This could include features like background audio playback for music NFTs or the ability to manage large collections (up to 50,000 collectibles) directly from our wallets. Bullish !!

The acquisition of DRiP is a big deal for several reasons:

1. Expanding Beyond DeFi: Jupiter has always been a powerhouse for trading financial instruments like swaps and perps, but adding NFTs positions it as a true “Solana super app.” This means our mobile app will become a one-stop shop for both financial trading and digital culture, appealing to a broader audience.

2. Community Growth: DRiP brings millions of collectors and thousands of creators into the Jupiverse, which could drive more users to our app. This growth might also boost the value and utility of Jupiter’s native token.

3. New Opportunities for Engagement: With DRiP’s focus on creator-driven content, we’ll have more ways to interact with the Solana ecosystem. Whether it’s collecting a limited-edition NFT from a favorite artist or participating in a brand campaign, this acquisition adds a fun, cultural layer to our Jupiter experience.

While DRiP will continue to operate independently with its own team, half of its eight-person crew is now working on integrating NFT features into Jupiter’s platform, including mobile app. The DRiP brand will get a visual refresh to align with Jupiter’s aesthetic, but its core mission of empowering creators and collectors will remain intact.
