DRIP is a platform for building engaged communities and apps. It provides a unified data layer, permissions model, and APIs so you can extend your community with modular functionality.

​
Core concepts

  • Realms: Projects/workspaces that contain members, data, and app installations
  • Members: Users in your realms, with identities that can span platforms
  • Apps: Modular capabilities installed into one or more realms
  • Permissions: Scoped per app and per realm for precise control
  • APIs: Stable interfaces for reading data and performing actions
DRIP apps follow least‑privilege permissions. Each app only gets the scopes you grant for the realms you select.

​
How apps fit into DRIP

Apps integrate via DRIP’s APIs and are permissioned per realm. You can install multiple apps to compose end‑to‑end workflows—everything remains auditable and secure.
  • Install DRIP or third‑party apps into a realm
  • Configure app settings and permissions to match your needs
  • Combine apps to power onboarding, engagement, rewards, and more
