DRIPPY NFTS
What are the NFTs and why should you own at least one?
🎨 DRIPPY NFTs
Limited-Edition OG Collection — The Backbone of the $DRIPPY Ecosystem
Supply: 589 total Eligibility Threshold: 5 NFTs required to participate in XRP protocol fee distributions Governance: 1 NFT = 1 Vote (if governance is enacted) Reward Type: XRPL Native XRP via automation Distribution Logic: Embedded on-chain Art: Randomly generated Ripple/XRP inspired meme art Inspiration: See the "DRIPPY Origin Story" below
🧠 Purpose & Utility
The DRIPPY NFTs serve as the foundation layer of access, identity, and eligibility across the protocol. They're not just collectibles — they unlock powerful participation rights within the $DRIPPY economy.
To qualify for protocol fee distributions in XRP, holders must possess at least 5 DRIPPY NFTs in a single wallet. This threshold ensures that only committed early participants gain access to reward mechanics — helping maintain a clean and fair distribution channel.
Each NFT is randomly generated with an original character design inspired by early meme culture, XRPL-native ethos, and an impromptu conversation that sparked it all (see below).
💸 How Fees Are Distributed
Every protocol transaction that incurs buy/sell activity generates a 5% fee, programmatically allocated through on-chain logic. These XRP fees are split to support multiple facets of the ecosystem:
✅ On a BUY TXN (5% Total Fee):
1% → Distributed to wallets holding 5+ DRIPPY NFTs
2% → $DRIPPY token holders meeting a minimum threshold
1% → Ecosystem treasury (for marketing, ecosystem expansion, ongoing development, and community growth)
0.5% → LP Injection: XRP side!
0.5% → LP Injection: DRIPPY side!
✅ On a SELL TXN (5% Total Fee):
0.75% → NFT Holders (owning 5+ DRIPPY NFTs)
1.5% → Token holders (with qualifying $DRIPPY holdings)
0.75% → Ecosystem treasury
1% → LP Injection: XRP side!
1% → LP Injection: DRIPPY side!
Note: All Protocol fee distributions are distributed in XRP, directly to eligible wallets via on-chain logic. No third-party intervention or central wallet management is involved.
🏛 Governance (Optional)
If the community elects to adopt governance mechanics, each NFT may represent one vote, creating a lightweight DAO-style structure where long-term holders can shape the future of the ecosystem — without needing token-heavy influence. However, governance is not required for the system to operate effectively.
💎 Early Access Advantage
With only 589 NFTs ever minted, and a requirement of 5 NFTs per wallet to qualify for XRP protocol distributions, that means only 117 unique wallets can ever fully participate at a time in the NFT %portion of the XRP protocol distributions. This limited access adds an inherent scarcity to the opportunity and ensures early adopters benefit from the protocol's growth.
🌱 Future-Proofing
As the protocol evolves, new NFT collections may be introduced. These collections may be granted access to future distributions or features — or may or may not dilute existing fee allocations. This flexibility allows the ecosystem to grow before hard-coding all future decisions. Current DRIPPY NFT holders will always remain core to the earliest and purest layer of access.
🔥 Origin Story
The DRIPPY art and brand emerged after an IRL moment with Ripple CTO David Schwartz after a speaking event. In a casual but impactful conversation, we discussed the noticeable absence of meme-style culture on XRPL — the kind of community-rich projects that brought billions in attention to other chains.
The question of "what if someone took the meme aesthetic, the supply logic, and the community incentive mechanics from other successful chains — but applied it on XRPL in a native, on-chain logic-enabled, composable way?"
That conversation became the spark. The idea became DRIPPY.
We didn't want just another token — we wanted a movement. A meme coin with purpose, automation, and style — with rewards that flow in XRP, not speculation.
