About SuperRare
Founded in 2018, the digital NFT marketplace has amassed a staggering $280M in total sales. In addition, more than $165M earned by digital artists up to now. The decentralized platform contains original artworks only from renowned digital creatives. Platform token holders can vote for certain artists to be added to the platform using their $RARE token. Their mission is to reinvent the art market through tokenomics and digital art. Further, they’ve ensured their market is easy to navigate, making digital ownership and trading uncomplicated. The easily accessible NFT platform puts power back into the people’s hands. SuperRare has positioned itself well for this shift toward digital art. Co-founder Jonathan Perkins said the following about the effect SuperRare has had on artists:
“The most exciting and rewarding aspect has been seeing the massive positive impact on artists’ lives. For example, artist Carlos Marcial has been able to not only move his family out of Mexico City to a safer area near the beach due to his art sales but recently posted that he helped pay off his mother’s house as well. Stories like this are increasingly common, but never cease to put a smile on my face” (FAD Magazine, 2021).
