Multi-chain compatibility will enable users to trade Tezos NFTs on the Rarible marketplace
NFT marketplace Rarible officially launched its integration with
proof-of-stake blockchain Tezos pm Thursday. This collaboration will
allow Rarible to feature Tezos NFTs on its marketplace and support
secondary sales of live Tezos projects while enabling users to mint
low-fee NFTs.
Rarible’s integration with Tezos marks the third
layer 1 blockchain supported by the platform, alongside Ethereum and
Flow, Dapper Labs’ blockchain network that powers NBA Top Shot. In
Rarible’s effort to build a multi-chain platform to consolidate the NFT
space, integrations with Solana and Polygon are next, according to
Rarible CEO Alexei Falin, who told Cointelegraph:
“Rarible
firmly believes that the future of NFTs is cross-chain, and that
interoperability is the key to a streamlined, successful NFT ecosystem.
We have seen many alternative blockchains gain traction in the NFT space
for their unique offerings, specifically Tezos for its low costs and
energy-efficient minting process through proof-of-stake validation.”

The
integration will roll out in two phases, according to the company.
Users are already able to mint, buy and sell new Tezos NFTs, as well as
trade on the secondary market, starting with in-game metaverse collectibles called Digits from legacy gaming organization Ubisoft.
Next, Rarible plans to mint new collections via custom contracts and
set up royalties for imported collections that had previously existed on
Tezos.
Rarible and Tezos have also launched an inaugural NFT
collection, entitled Blazing Futures, curated by Diane Drubay, founder
of We Are Museums and a minter of NFTs on Hic Et Nunc. The Blazing
Futures drop features exclusive-to-Rarible work from 10 Tezos-based
artists.
Falin
added that he hopes “Rarible users will benefit from an enhanced
experience on our marketplace, while enjoying exposure to a wider array
of NFT projects that exist within the robust Tezos network.”
The
integration was made possible via Rarible Protocol, the open-source
cross-chain community-governed NFT protocol that Rarible.com runs on top
of.
