Important update regarding RARI Chain. As part of ongoing efforts to redirect resources toward creating the most value for the creator economy, RARI Chain will begin the process of sunsetting. Users with assets remaining on RARI Chain should move their assets back to Ethereum mainnet before June 14, 2026 at 11:59pm UTC. This transition allows RARI to direct more resources toward empowering creators while eliminating fragmentation and simplifying participation in RARI governance. Details on how to unstake and bridge assets from RARI Chain can be found below 👇

🚨 $RARI can now be used in the real world 🚨 Through @spritzfinance, users can spend RARI with a Visa card, no manual offramp needed. What’s your current offramp flow? Keep reading and let us know how this compares. With Spritz enabling direct top-ups from RARI, this creates a more direct path from onchain balances into real-world spending, while opening up new possibilities for creator payouts and community incentives to become instantly usable income. This allows users to go from RARI to real-world spending with minimal friction, without needing to offramp into a bank account.

This has already been demonstrated. @EspressoSys enabled crosschain minting between RARI Chain and @ApeChainHUB, showing how access across chains can start to feel seamless. Still early, but this is the direction things are moving.

Rarible played a key role in the early days of NFTs. For many, it was their first onchain experience. Now, with @impossible_ acquiring the brand and key platform assets, a new chapter begins. What was your first experience on Rarible?

One of the most interesting things happening in NFTs right now is creators experimenting with new mint experiences. For example, @forexus from the RARI DAO launched @mega_beers on MegaETH. Collectors mint a 6-pack, then crack it open to reveal 6 mystery beers with different rarity levels. The project is also exploring a physical beer brand tied to the onchain collection. A great example of how creators are pushing NFTs beyond static collectibles.

When communities truly believe in an NFT collection, it can evolve far beyond the initial mint. A great example is @BoredApeYC. They turned a collection into one of the strongest brands in web3 🦍 From their metaverse @OthersideMeta, to launching their own chain @ApeChainHUB, powered by $APE as the gas token. They also helped introduce one of the first cross-chain mint experiences alongside @RariChain, powered by @EspressoSys. btw, we’re seeing many communities building strong IP on ApeChain as well, such as: @nightglyders @ApeChainRILLAZ @freshestkicksOG @PapeFamily @froglings Let us know who else is building strong IP in the Ape community 👀

Which NFT project has the strongest community and branding right now? What project excites you the most? Some of the strongest NFT brands build deeper experiences for their collectors. You can see this with projects like @BoredApeYC & @pudgypenguins, and we’re seeing similar energy from newer projects like @normiesART & @deadbitnation. When a project builds real community, commerce often starts moving to its own website: Custom mint mechanics. Token-gated experiences. Direct relationships with their collectors. And any creator can launch their own onchain storefront with the Rarible Protocol.

Who are the best creators shaping culture onchain right now? Tag them below 👀 Artists, devs, musicians, content creators. Anyone pushing the space forward. We want more people like you inside the RARI DAO. Let’s shape the future of the NFT space together. DAO participants can submit proposals, contribute ideas, and in some cases receive funding to support what they’re building. Some even become delegates and receive voting power. If you're building something in web3, introduce yourself on the forum and tell us what you're working on. Create an account, hit "New Topic", leave the category on General, and share a quick intro. Let’s get to know you 👇 forum.rari.foundation/

🚨 Major brands are launching onchain collectibles. Physically backed Pokémon cards are already being tokenized via @slab_cash on @ApeChainHUB, showing how real-world collectibles are moving into onchain ownership. What other major brands would you like to see onchain? As large brands enter the space, they won’t all live inside one shared marketplace. They’ll need dedicated storefronts, custom experiences, and infrastructure built for scale. And that’s exactly what the Rarible Protocol is designed for. rarible.org/
