DRIFE is a decentralized mobility-data and financial-identity protocol built on Sui that creates portable on-chain identities and reputations for drivers and riders. DRIFE's Twitter Score is 11 out of 1000 as of August 2026, ranking #86,432 among 482,999 tracked accounts.
DRIFE was co-founded by Firdosh Sheikh, Surya Ranjith, and Mudit Marda. The project began as a decentralized ride-hailing platform, and as of July 2025, announced a strategic shift away from consumer-facing ride-hailing toward an infrastructure protocol serving local ride-hailing providers. Earlier, per IEEE Spectrum, the platform had been built on Polygon and had accumulated more than 10,000 drivers and 100,000 riders with roughly 7,000 rides processed per week.
DRIFE closed a $2.7 million seed and private token sale in July 2021. Its native utility token, DRF, operates on Sui and is used for ride-data syncing rewards, identity and reputation incentives, staking, governance, and access to financial tools. The protocol syncs ride data, verifies it on-chain, and assembles that data into portable decentralized identities for gig-economy participants. DRIFE is affiliated with IoTeX and Ghaf Labs, and has received backing from Master Ventures, AU21 Capital, Titans Ventures, FBG Capital, and GD10 Ventures.
