In the ever-evolving world of NFTs, Rarible, a seasoned player, and Mantle, a layer-2 blockchain built on Ethereum, have joined forces. The outcome? The introduction of the Mintle NFT marketplace, which adds Mantle NFTs to Rarible’s extensive cross-chain ecosystem.
Rarible is no newcomer to the NFT scene, having already orchestrated over $27 million in NFT trades across chains like Ethereum, Polygon, Flow, and Tezos. Mintle’s foundation rests on the open-source Rarible protocol, housing a staggering 4,000+ applications. Coupled with Mantle’s high-performance Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) modular L2 blockchain, Mintle promises users an unparalleled, efficient, and economical NFT trading experience.
Staying true to its core, Rarible remains committed to community governance. Following the footsteps of Rarible Protocol, which operates under the governance of the $RARI token, Mintle too shall be steered by its community through the Mantle token $MTN.
Unlike other marketplaces retracting on royalty enforcement, Mintle chooses to empower its creators, granting them fresh monetization avenues via robust royalties. This move is contrary to platforms like OpenSea, which recently withdrew its intention to enforce creator royalties on secondary NFT transactions.
Expressing enthusiasm for this new venture, Alex Salnikov, the Chief Strategy Officer and Co-Founder of Rarible, remarked, “Launching the Mintle marketplace is the ideal approach to extend Rarible’s marketplace experiences to an expansive, engaged audience.”
The buzz doesn't end here. Mantle has disclosed its forthcoming 'Citizens of Mantle NFT collection.' This collection is expected to be dynamic, evolving as users hit new milestones within the Mantle ecosystem.
Sean Lee from NFT Partnership Team at Mantle expressed his faith in Rarible's history of delivering exceptional branded experiences and is optimistic about replicating these experiences within Mantle's DAO-led ecosystem.
Together, Rarible and Mantle embark on a journey to redefine on-chain interactivity, setting the stage for the next chapter of the NFT narrative.
