As Women’s History Month is coming to a close, we wanted to highlight an important issue. In an industry that embodies the future of financial and artistic independence, it's surprising that only around 13% of project founders are women. When it comes to NFTs, female creators account for just 5% of the sales. This isn’t just a gender gap issue, however, as this hinders mass adoption, too. Luckily, there are successful, culturally significant projects that are bringing more diversity into the space, making NFTs appealing to more audiences. We talked to the women behind 8 great projects to see ..read more

Web3 games have never been as easy to access and fun to play as they are in 2024. The past year’s tough market served as a catalyst, pushing the industry to refine and mature. Developers started crafting fun-first, engagement-driven games with a touch of NFTs and crypto—often keeping the onchain component low-key to focus on the gameplay itself. The end result? Gaming became the most popular sector in web3 in 2023 (34% of all activity) and raised over $2.9 billion from investors, according to DappRadar. Traditional gaming giants have also begun to explore NFTs and develop their own blockchain ..read more

It differentiates itself by marrying Optimistic rollups with a decentralized EigenDA-powered data availability layer. That way, it tackles Ethe ..read more

2023 is almost over, and yes, it's been a crazy year. After several months of stagnation, it looks like the market is finally coming back to life. But as nervous as a bear cycle can be, we pay little attention to the charts. Most of our focus has been on the clear cut goal we have set for ourselves at Rarible earlier this year: Prepare for the next bull. So while the NFT market uptrend will undoubtedly happen at some point in the future, how will it look, exactly? Well, we have a definite answer (consider it alpha if you want—but not a financial advice): The next cycle will be driven by chea ..read more

New market cycles require new solutions. We believe the next NFT bull market is already cooking behind the scenes, powered by mass adoption and innovative brands. What will this new market look like?

NFTs are the preferred method for distributing digital goods and services.  This future might become a reality sooner than you think. More use cases. More marketplaces. During the previous bull run, we saw two main use ca ..read more
