Yesterday I announced a groundbreaking game developed by Drip Rewards. In less than 24 hours it became one of my most engaged posts on X. DRIP COMBAT is our step into the gaming industry and serves as a proof of concept for gaming studios looking to build brand new experiences on top of the Drip platform. Our game stands out by addressing a fundamental limitation in the gaming ecosystem: the siloed nature of game economies. Traditionally, virtual currencies are confined within a single game. DRIP COMBAT breaks this barrier by introducing a unique gameplay mechanic where players can use points they earn in-game across various touchpoints, including the Discord platform and any game or platform that integrates with our API. We take this concept a step further by empowering Discord server administrators to fully customize the game to align with their unique branding. Every Discord server that integrates the Drip App receives its own instance of DRIP COMBAT, enabling admins to personalize in-game assets such as weapon skins, character skins, and even the game's title – all conveniently managed within the Drip Discord app. We take it a step further and allow servers to completely customize the game to their unique branding: every Discord server with the Drip App gets their own instance of DRIP COMBAT. Imagine a gaming ecosystem where players earn "Coins" as they progress through a game. These coins can be seamlessly used across a suite of five other games or within Discord to purchase merchandise or enter raffles. Players can also accumulate more coins by completing quests or receiving tips from fellow players. For gaming studios, this interconnected ecosystem increases play time, wider distribution of players across their game portfolio, more in-game purchases (points have a higher perceived value), broader reach through questing, and increased ad revenue. The concept of "Play Time" is amplified and distributed across every touchpoint that the gaming studio has, creating a more engaging and rewarding experience for players. We are thrilled to announce that the Early Access version of DRIP COMBAT will be available this Friday. The launch of DRIP COMBAT marks a significant milestone in the gaming industry, showcasing the potential for cross-platform virtual currencies and customizable gaming experiences. As we continue to innovate and collaborate with gaming studios, we aim to redefine the way players engage with games and foster a more interconnected and rewarding gaming ecosystem. Drip provides the infrastructure for gaming studios to create interoperable meta-game economies, and we do custom development.

Yesterday I ran a Quest incentivizing members to like a post on X. Real human beings engaged with the tweet, bringing us to first place (7.5x more engagement than the runner up). Now Drip Rewards gets to pitch at TECH WEEK by a16z. In today's world, community ≠ revenue. Community has made great strides over the last decade, but monetization strategies have stayed stagnant. Drip has unlocked Community Monetization in a way that bring real business value.
