Rarible, a marketplace for non-fungible tokens (NFTs), said on Thursday that Tezos will now be accepted on its centralized market. Tezos has now been added, after it was recently said that Rarible would start getting listings from Polygon.
Alexander Salnikov, one of the co-founders of Rarible, said that the company chose to add Tezos marketplaces to its aggregation tool to attract crypto-native artists and collectors who care about sustainability.
Collectors will be able to buy Tezos-based NFTs from exchanges like Objkt, fxhash, Teia, and Versum with Rarible’s aggregation tool.
Salnikov says, “Tezos is very big among artist communities, among the exact community that Rarible started with. Tezos landed with the most crypto native culture … it’s a carbon neutral chain, it is decentralized, it is more or less one of the chains that achieved scalability and lower transaction costs without compromising decentralization.”
In a press release, the company said that up to this point, all Tezos marketplaces, including Rarible, respect creator rights. “Rarible and Tezos also share a mutual respect for artists when it comes to creator royalties,” the article said.
In addition to Tezos, Rarible has built-in support for Polygon NFTs sold on the popular marketplace OpenSea. Salnikov said that well-known companies like Starbucks are planning to use Polygon for their Web3 activities, which is a sign that Polygon is becoming more popular and will soon be used by many people.
Rarible has been adding more tools for creators over the past few months. In October of 2022, Rarible launched its aggregator service. It gets NFT listings from other marketplaces and makes it easier for collectors to find them. In January, Rarible launched a tool on Polygon called “marketplace builder,” which lets producers make unique markets for their NFT collections.
