Q & A with Metadrip 👇

Could you introduce yourself by sharing your name, prior experience, and current role within your company? Additionally, please briefly explain your company's mission and what it offers to its customers.

Hi, I’m Xypher, Co-Founder of Metadrip. I come from a background in Startups, Engineering, DeFi, product growth, and community-led ecosystems, with over 7 years of full-time experience in the crypto industry as both a trader and builder.

My Co-Founder, Thomas, is a seasoned IT professional with over two decades of experience. He manages his own IT firm now and has profoundly built several successful businesses in the past. He believes in building applications that positively impact the lives of its users.

At Metadrip, we believe DeFi should be as simple as a conversation. Our mission is to empower users with simple-to-use AI-powered crypto agents that simplify their daily DeFi activities and provide them with an intuitive user experience.

We design our products with a user-first approach, ensuring that even non-crypto natives can navigate and use them effortlessly. We believe this level of accessibility is essential for driving true mass adoption.

How has your company grown and changed since its inception, and what do you have planned for its future?

Since our launch, Metadrip has rapidly evolved from concept to execution, crossing 2500 users and over 5000 token holders at ATH and trending in Top DeFi, AI, DEFAI & AI Applications categories on Coingecko. We’ve integrated top infra providers like Quicknode, rolled out real-time cross-chain bridges with multiple chain supports, and built automated trading tools powered by natural language commands. Moving forward, we’re focused on building our Metadrip Agent Store with apps that have deeper AI integrations, expand cross-chain functionality, and build the most user-centric AI agent ecosystem in Web3.

What inspired you to develop Metadrip, and how did you conceive the idea?

The idea for Metadrip came from our frustration with fragmented DeFi tools and how difficult it was for everyday users to participate in crypto without being overwhelmed. We envisioned a world where interacting with DeFi is as easy as texting an AI, so we built it. We saw the opportunity to unify trading, staking, and analysis under a single conversational layer, powered by automation and insights and a broader idea of having all agents and tools under a single umbrella.

Can you provide insight into Metadrip’s progress by sharing any metrics or milestones indicating its traction?

Within days of launch, Metadrip hit a $6.6M market cap, got express-listed on Coingecko, ranked in the top gainers globally, and was backed by notable influencers and key partnerships.

We’ve supported over 10,000 requests from over 2500 users interacting with our AI agent, and our Metadrip Whale Algorithms are tracking thousands of notable addresses live onchain, all while our official X account crossing 1 million impressions within 25 days.

We are one of the few projects that have successfully built a working cross-chain bridge that is usable via simple chat prompts: Solana to EVM (ETH, AJAX, BNB, Polygon, etc.) and vice versa.

We’ve also seen strong adoption from traders looking for automation tools and DeFi users wanting simpler ways to manage their assets.

How does your company utilize Quicknode, Quicknode’s products, and what benefits does it bring to your business operations?

We rely on Quicknode’s high-performance RPC services on the frontend to interact with the Solana blockchain. Its speed, reliability, and stability have been instrumental in delivering a frictionless experience for our users. Quicknode enables real-time token interactions and ensures our AI agent responds instantly on the web, making it a critical part of our infrastructure as we scale.
