Let’s be honest — in the Web3 world, user count is often hyped before any actual product, traction, or proof-of-value appears. The “33k user” milestone gets tossed around in pitch decks like confetti at a token launch.

But what if we told you that 33,000 users — in a private, invite-only alpha stage — have already generated measurable economic and social activity inside a fully functioning tokenized network?

And what if that network wasn’t about trading, DeFi, or memecoins…
…but about something way more human — dating, love, companionship, and commitment?

Welcome to the early revolution of the DropD Network, where 33,000 users aren’t just joining a platform — they’re building a new economy of emotional labour and digital intimacy.

33K Users in Web3 — But Not Your Typical Ghosts

In the world of Web2 dating, only about 2–3% of users pay, and most profiles remain passive or inactive. Fake swipes, ghost matches, and abandoned chats dominate the landscape.

But on DropD, these 33,000+ alpha users aren’t just passive profiles. They’re:

• Swiping with stakes
• Liking with real DRPD token flow
• Engaging in floating relationships (ROCCA)
• Creating clubs, pages, and social contracts

They’ve generated:

• 150,000+ swipes
• 20,000 friend requests
• 540 ROCCA proposals initiated, and 72 successfully deployed into six-month commitment contracts

This isn’t “testnet behaviour” or “incentivized farming” — this is real behaviour, in a live product, by real people investing emotional and token capital.

The DRPD Token Isn’t Just Circulating — It’s Circulating with Purpose

Here’s what’s wild: over 33 million DRPD tokens have already circulated — inside an alpha environment.

That includes:

• Match views (which cost DRPD)
• Friend requests (which require DRPD gifting)
• Club creation and joining fees
• Like-based income rewards
• Staking inside ROCCA contracts
• 36% of all revenue is redistributed to users every month — by design

In traditional dating apps, you spend money for visibility and get nothing back. On DropD, your effort is not just emotionally meaningful — it’s economically rewarded.

Real ARPU. Not Theoretical.

At the alpha stage, DropD is already tracking a $4.50 ARPU (Average Revenue Per User). That’s significant — not just for dating, but for any social Web3 platform.

For comparison:

• Tinder’s global ARPU in 2024: ~$24 (with a tiny % of paying users)
• Facebook’s global ARPU in 2024: ~$49
• Bumble: ~$16

However, DropD’s value is being generated across a fully distributed user base, where even those not paying can earn rewards, and those who contribute more rise in visibility and trust.

That’s a circular token economy, not a top-down monetisation funnel.

Why This Matters?

DropD’s alpha proves something bigger than product-market fit. It proves:

• You don’t need millions of users to validate Web3 models.
• You don’t need crypto hype to generate emotional engagement.
• You don’t need ads or data farming to build sustainable social platforms.

You just need a design that respects emotional labour, aligns economic incentives, and rewards intentional behaviour.

33,000 users did that. In alpha.

Without a dime spent on performance marketing.

Final Thought: If This Is Alpha, Imagine Beta in Web3

Most projects brag about “early traction.”
DropD shows what early value looks like.

It’s not about vanity metrics.
It’s about proving that even in its earliest form, a Web3-native emotional economy can function, scale, and reward human interaction — not exploit it.

This isn’t just a dating app. It’s a decentralised trust machine, dressed in the language of love.

33,000 users. Real money. Real matches.
And the revolution hasn’t even launched yet.
