SuperRare is a curated NFT marketplace founded in 2018 that specializes in unique, single-edition digital artworks created by selected artists. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, it ensures authenticity and provenance by allowing artists to tokenize their creations as non-fungible tokens (NFTs). In 2021, SuperRare introduced the $RARE token, enabling community governance through the SuperRare DAO, which oversees platform decisions and the operation of independent galleries called SuperRare Spaces.
Using SuperRare, a blockchain user benefits from true digital ownership, as each artwork is tokenized as a unique NFT with verified provenance on the Ethereum blockchain. The platform empowers creators with direct royalties from secondary sales, ensuring artists are continually compensated for their work. Additionally, users can participate in platform governance through the $RARE token, helping shape the future of the marketplace and its curatorial direction.
