what's superrare?
SuperRare is a leading curated NFT marketplace and digital art gallery on the Ethereum blockchain, launched in 2018, focused on elevating high-quality, original 1/1 digital artworks into cultural assets. It operates as an exclusive platform where artists must apply and be approved to mint NFTs, ensuring a selective ecosystem that emphasizes rarity and artistic integrity. Key features include auction-based sales, community governance via the RARE token, and tools for collectors to discover, purchase, and exhibit works in virtual and physical spaces, such as its recent New York gallery. The platform has facilitated significant mainstream recognition, including awards for photography collections like the Drone Photo Awards 2025, and supports artist migrations from other platforms like Foundation due to its viability for ETH-based art trading. Recent collections, such as ANDROMEDA, have seen strong performance with thousands in volume shortly after launch. SuperRare continues to innovate with features like lazy minting and dynamic artworks, fostering a vibrant community for digital creators and collectors.
