Scalability Solutions with RARI Chain
The rapid growth of the NFT sector has brought forth challenges, notably scalability and the need for equitable compensation for creators. In response to these issues, the RARI Foundation has introduced RARI Chain, a purpose-built blockchain leveraging Arbitrum’s technology. This Ethereum Layer 3 blockchain incorporates customizable rules and independent governance mechanisms to provide a scalable platform tailored to the unique needs of NFTs.
RARI Chain is developed using Caldera and an Orbit chain, integrating the Arbitrum Nitro tech stack to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.
RARI Chain: Empowering Creators through Embedded Royalties
A significant hurdle faced by NFT creators in 2023 was the loss of royalties, impacting their potential earnings. RARI Chain addresses this challenge by embedding royalty payments at the node level. This innovative feature guarantees that creators receive fair compensation automatically at the time of sale, revitalizing the economic model for NFT creators.
The launch of RARI Chain mainnet turns our vision of creating an NFT-specific, creator-focused chain into a reality. We’re excited to provide a platform for innovation and new NFT use cases, welcoming a new wave of projects by offering a decentralized infrastructure tool to the web3 community. Jana Bertram, Head of Strategy at RARI Foundation, expressed enthusiasm about the mainnet launch
The governance of RARI Chain will be overseen by RARI DAO, where $RARI token holders actively participate in decision-making, ensuring a democratic and community-driven approach to network updates.
RARI Chain: Supporting Innovation and Major Partnerships
To foster innovation within the NFT ecosystem, RARI Chain plans to establish a grants fund for projects developing NFT applications. This initiative will provide financial resources to promising projects, fostering creativity and expanding the boundaries of what is possible in the NFT space. Additionally, there are discussions about creating a Creator Fund to allocate part of the network’s proceeds to support NFT creators.
Major partnerships with Rarible, LayerZero, Celestia, and Thirdweb highlight the collaborative effort to integrate RARI Chain into the broader NFT landscape. Rarible, a key partner, aims to facilitate asset transfers and purchases through this new chain, with future plans including credit card payment options and gas-free transactions.
RARI Chain makes it impossible to circumvent this value. Code is law, and you can know with confidence that your royalties are guaranteed if your marketplace is deployed on RARI Chain. Alex Salnikov, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Rarible, emphasized the importance of royalties in the NFT space
