Rarible DAO, staking updates, special opportunity for artists, and more
Bi-weekly community newsletter
Dear all,
We’re sure you’re as excited about the NFT space these days as we are! NFTs seem to be the new black, and the world seems to be catching up on the new concept of digital ownership.
During the past couple of weeks Mark Cuban, Lindsay Lohan, Tyga, and other influencers joined Rarible alongside with hundreds of talented artists.
Meanwhile, we’ve been working heads down on the platform enhancements, we shared the DAO structure proposal draft with the community, announced funding round led by 1kx, and watched $RARI hit its all-time high.
We know, that’s a lot of news! This newsletter is to keep you updated, as always.
You will also find a special collaboration opportunity with Decrypt below.

[RR-2] Rarible DAO Structure: Community Treasury, Staking for Voting power
We know you’ve been waiting for it! It’s time to set up the founding rules for Rarible DAO. The draft proposal for DAO Structure: Community Treasury, Staking for Voting power is up on the governance forum.
The community has been reviewing and suggesting the edits to the proposal, which we expect to finalize and put up for the vote next week.
Join the community call on DAO Structure
On Thursday 18th February, 9am PST we will host a community call to discuss the DAO structure proposal and review the current initiatives.

🔥$RARI reached its all-time-high!
Last week, Rarible governance token $RARI has reached its all-time-high: $24 per token!
75,000 RARI are distributed weekly among legitimate creators and collectors on the platform who made sales and purchases during the week.
Rarible raised $1.75 million from 1kx, CoinFund, ParaFi, Coinbase, and others
Our journey started a year ago with the launch of a simple tool to democratize access to minting and buying NFTs. In 2021, it turned into a robust marketplace that hit 29 thousand unique buyers and sellers with over $29 million in trading volume.
In the beginning of February, we took another big step towards decentralization by welcoming the backing of leading Web 3.0 investors who share our vision of digital ownership. We are excited to work with top investors in the space, who will support Rarible on the way to building the first decentralized NFT marketplace.
🔥Artist opportunity: collaboration with Decrypt
Decrypt is looking to partner with artists to create a limited edition run of NFTs that readers can earn through the company's very own token.
The respected media outlet is looking for artists to create an NFT – which will be limited in number and in duration – for the first season. As part of the launch, the team is planning a global PR campaign and full exposure across Decrypt's 4 million plus users.
