Creators are the backbone and soul of the NFT space. Without them, there would be no industry, no staggering trading volume, no revolutionary technological innovation. And yet, when it comes to sharing the profits, creators are usually the ones who are left behind.

This is about to change. RARI Foundation has been working on a solution that would forever bring royalties into the foundation of each project, making creator compensation a must, a non-negotiable.

Introducing RARI Chain: the chain that always puts creators first.

Going live today with a public testnet, RARI Chain is an EVM equivalent chain built on Arbitrum, one of the fastest and most cost-effective L2 on the market. On a mission to empower creators and builders in web3, it is designed to provide a low-cost, high performance, and developer-friendly environment where royalties are enforced on the node level. Decentralized from day 1, the chain will be governed by the community of $RARI holders and the RARI DAO.

To ensure that RARI Chain is as developer and user friendly as possible, we have also teamed up with partners such as Caldera, Gelato, LayerZero, Magic, Rarible, Thirdweb, and WalletConnect. Each of them has a unique contribution to this infrastructure, and we are excited and grateful to be working together on this launch.

Together, we made the following features (and much more) possible:

Built-in Royalties

On the RARI Chain, royalties are embedded on a node level! You can set the % of your royalty on a per NFT basis or by collection, and rest assured that it will be honored in every sale. Set royalty percent will be charged as part of the transaction and sent back to you.

Low & Predictable Costs

Collectors, we see you too. You no longer have to worry about paying massive gas fees and opting out of royalties when you don’t have enough ETH in your wallet.

It costs less than 1 cent to mint, buy, and trade NFTs. Add on the options to use USDC and credit card check out, you purchase NFTs whenever you want. Isolated from Ethereum and Arbitrum traffic, the chain also gives you stable and predictable gas fees, always.

Remarkable Speed and Security

RARI Chain is fast. Really fast. With blocks confirmed every 250 milliseconds, it processes 200-500 transactions per second. You don’t have to wait minutes for transactions to go through anymore. Plus, every transaction is as secure as an Ethereum transaction.

We're excited to be bringing this new chain to the NFT ecosystem and empower creators, collectors, and builders to leverage this friendly and unique network to experiment with their next big idea.  Check out rarichain.org for more information and subscribe to our newsletter here to be the first to know about ecosystem news and upcoming mainnet launch.

More about RARI Chain partners

Each of the RARI Chain launch partners plays a unique role in enabling the highest quality of the technical layer along with the outreach to make sure that this infrastructure reaches those who need it the most.

• Rarible is integrating the RARI Chain into the Rarible Protocol, their legacy NFT marketplace, along with the solution for turnkey marketplace building, Rarible X. This integration empowers creators and collectors in the Rarible ecosystem with embedded royalties, near-zero costs, and high transaction speed.

• LayerZero enables developers to create collections that can seamlessly transfer between chains without fragmentation or external risk via the ONFT Standard.

• Gasless mints on the RARI Chain are powered by Gelato

• Among other benefits, Thirdweb introduced account abstraction and fiat payments to the chain, meeting one of the highest-requested demand of our users

• Magic becomes an indispensable tool for fiat onramps, while WalletConnect stands as a key standard for blockchain wallet and dApp connectivity.

Together, these components create a robust ecosystem for Rarible users.
