Frequently asked questions
What is Rarible and how is it different from other NFT platforms?
Rarible is a community-owned NFT marketplace where users create, buy, and sell digital art and collectibles. Unlike centralized platforms, it's governed by RARI token holders, who vote on upgrades and platform rules. It also supports NFTs across multiple blockchains, not just one network.
How does Rarible's technology work?
Rarible runs on Ethereum and other EVM-compatible blockchains, where NFTs are minted as ERC-721 or ERC-1155 tokens — standards that make each item unique or available in limited editions. Transactions are validated by the underlying blockchain's proof-of-stake consensus, not by Rarible itself. The platform is essentially an interface on top of these networks.
How is RARI issued and what's the maximum supply?
RARI has a hard cap of 25,000,000 coins, meaning no more will ever be created. A significant portion was distributed to active marketplace users through weekly rewards for buying and selling NFTs. This fixed supply distinguishes it from tokens with unlimited inflationary issuance.
How can you store and use RARI?
Since RARI is an ERC-20 token, it can be stored in any Ethereum-compatible wallet like MetaMask, Ledger, or Trust Wallet. Its main uses are governance voting on the Rarible platform and participation in the ecosystem's reward mechanics. You can also trade it on major cryptocurrency exchanges that list the token.
