Tell a DRiP story
IMPORTANT
Due to an unfortunate turn of events it appears the LFG team has been replaced with bad actors. See https://x.com/defi1crypto2/status/1765706205870379195?s=20
Please do not interact with their Telegram or Twitter account.
As a result this contest is no longer active and there are no longer $LFG prizes available. I encourage you to still tell DRiP stories as they make great post, and to enjoy the historical retrospective of the LFG when it wasn't posting scams. It was an innovative projects and remains a good hook for user adoption to Solana.
DRiP Haus: Solana's killer app?
DRiP is one of the most interesting and exciting apps on Solana (and pretty much in all of crypto).
I've done an in-depth post about them on BULB so if you haven't read that, do that now.

Telling DRiP stories
One thing I'm passionate about is getting more people on-chain. But it's not about getting people into buying this token or that. It's about getting them on chain and using apps that they find interesting and useful.
Crypto hasn't got a lot of those right now.
DRiP is one though.
There's so many great artists on the platform and their art is so accessible because of what DRiP is trying to do and the tech it sits on top of (see my post above for more on that).
I want to get more people looking at DRiP and meaningfully interacting with the artists there.
I want more people looking at BULB and meaningfully interacting with the writers here.
So why not kill these two birds with one stone!
I think there's a deep well inspiration to be drawn from the art on DRiP. Inspiration that can manifest itself as really interesting and engaging posts on BULB.
Let's tell some DRiP stories then!
To give you some inspiration here are a few examples of DRiP stories told on BULB recently

So what should I write about....?
As the examples above should show: Anything that incorporates DRiP artists is fair game.
Show people why you think the pieces of work/artists you've highlighted inspire you.
Your article should show off your own creativity.
Some tips:
- Browse through DRiP, using the Discover section, over a few days to get a feel for what's on there. You don't have to limit yourself to what you have collected!
- Dig into the pieces from artists you like. Many artist use all the features of their NFTs (including the metadata) to fully flesh out their pieces so explore them carefully
- Check out the links on the artist About section to see more of their work
- Don't limit your thinking to just fictional stories. There's a wide range of artists on DRiP. For example
- Floor is an NFT news and data service on Solana. Their pieces are like mini newspapers full of the trending headlines in crypto and Solana at time of mint. I could see a number of ways you could incorporate their work in to non fiction pieces.

The story (so far) of $LFG
$LFG (Less Fees & Gas) are a project started with the simple premise of bringing Ethereum users to Solana because it was: Less f***ing gas fees on Solana than Ethereum. 
Their initial launch let you connect your Ethereum wallets to their gas fee estimator and claim free $LFG tokens based on how much in gas fees you'd paid on Ethereum. 
The project scope was soon expanded to be onboarding more people to apps on Solana. And for a time this went well. Partnerships were announced as well as new incentive schemes aimed at getting more people to try key Solana apps.
And then, after some very avoidable drama around a Realms vote, it was all over.
But never say never. And a few weeks is a LONG time in crypto. 
It's only fitting then, given $LFG's mission and the mission of this contest, we use $LFG as our prizes!
And let's face it: It's only up from here...
