Astar Community,
We are Rarible, and we’re excited to join you.
Rarible, the NFT company, has been building since early 2020. We’re the home of an aggregated NFT marketplace, vertical marketplace builder for brands, and NFT API infrastructure for innovative builders. We have nearly 2 million MAUs, power over 5,000 different NFT marketplaces, and are most well known as one of the very first places to mint and trade NFTs.
Our goal is to bring NFTs to a massive, mainstream audience, integrated into daily life. The way we’re doing that is by providing advanced infrastructure and forward-thinking user experiences that serve both degens and normies alike.
We work with crypto-native projects like Rektguy, mfers, and CryptoPunksV1, and top web3 projects like Animoca Brands and the Mocaverse. We’ve also built alongside top international brands like Mattel (Hot Wheels and Barbie), Smurfs, Forbes, DC, McFarlane Toys, and Fox. Most recently, we’ve partnered with Japan Air and will be supporting the launch of their loyalty program on Astar.
Security:
We have been audited by Chainsecurity and Cyberscope, and the Rarible protocol is community-controlled via the RARI Foundation, governed by RARI DAO
Roadmap:
We believe in the transformative power of the blockchain, not just as a technology, but as a movement that redefines the essence of digital ownership, interaction and creativity. We’re working to onboard the next tens & hundreds of millions into web3.
Rarible’s roadmap is focused on three key areas:
1 - Rarible Marketplace. By supporting artists and creators in this space, we continue to strengthen the foundation of NFTs in web3, empowering creators, and inspiring collectors to engage in the ecosystem at large.
2 - RaribleX, our Vertical Marketplace Builder. By building for businesses and brands who are entering the space, we bridge the gap between web3 & web2 & beyond. We do this by partnering with brands who are creating unique, community focused ecoystems for their users to transact on.
3 - Rarible API, our API infrastructure. By developing one of the fastest NFT indexers on the market, we equip other builders & developers in the NFT space who are innovating & pushing web3 forward in ways that a single company cannot do alone. We aim to empower other builders as they shape the future of NFT utility in web3.
