Recently, the world has been crazily revolving around digital collectibles and art. Many are even willing to pay extra high prices to get their hands on them. However, with huge money comes huge trouble as some people find opportunities in these areas to exploit such deals through fraud, forgery, and mischief.

Nevertheless, Ethereum and other blockchain networks offer something that can help fight these issues and give a new meaning to the idea of digital collectibles. What Ethereum and other blockchain networks have to offer is security and privacy over an individual’s art or collectible by providing a secured distributed ledger that allows users to track the history and origin of a piece of art.

SuperRare banks on the blockchain network to offer artists a platform to create and tokenize their pieces of art in the form of a unique SuperRare NFT.

What is SuperRare?

NFTs are undeniably very valuable but so is the platform that acts as the marketplace to sell such NFTs. SuperRare is not just a place where you can create non-fungible tokens but it is also a decentralized social platform where you can sell unique digital artworks.

After the SuperRare NFT platform was founded by Pixura, it secured $9 million in the “Series A” venture capital funding round in March 2021. The platform ensures that each SuperRare digital artwork was authentically created by the Artist and then tokenized as a crypto collectible “NFT”, which can be owned and traded.

Picture SuperRare as a social platform like Instagram fused with functions that come with auction houses like Christies. The platform connects people to interact with art, culture and introduces a new method of art collecting online.

SuperRare digital art acquired on SuperRare can either be bought, sold, or even Held as a long-term investment goal. Artists making use of the SuperRare platform are allowed to auction their artworks at a set price. NFT sold to a buyer can then be resold to other NFT traders on several trading platforms at the buyer’s desired price.

SuperRare token (RARE)

RARE cryptocurrency is a curation token that facilitates the governance process of the SuperRare ecosystem. The RARE token was introduced on August 17th, 2021, as part of an evolution of art curation by the SuperRare NFT marketplace. RARE crypto provides a means of ownership for the community, which makes the SuperRare platform a community-governed platform with a diversity of curatorial voices amongst its leaders.

SuperRare token is reported to have an estimate of 1 billion RARE as the total supply. The tokens are also distributed economically with 150 million RARE allocated as retroactive airdrop for the core community of artists and collectors. These artists and collectors are considered core members due to their involvement in pushing the platform to its current state.

RARE Tokenomics

400 million SuperRare tokens are allocated as community treasury that is owned and governed by its holders. 25% was meant to be distributed at launch while the remaining 75% are scheduled for 4 years. About 255 million SuperRare cryptos are also allocated to the core contributors of SuperRare Labs that played a major role in making the SuperRare platform what it is today. The core contributors’ team tokens are subjected to 3-year vesting with a 6-month cliff.

In addition, 145 million SuperRare tokens are allocated to investors that participated in RARE previous funding rounds. The investor tokens are also subjected to 3-year vesting with a 12-month cliff. Lastly, about 50 million SuperRare tokens are allocated to strategic partners and future contributors of the SuperRare network. About 6 months is required as a minimum for vesting upon distribution.

As of November 22, 2021, the price of the RARE crypto is $2.15 with a daily trading volume of $157,740,233 and a market cap of $218,493,787. The coin is ranked number 322 on CoinMarketCap with a maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 RARE cryptocurrencies and a circulating supply of 101,756,228 SuperRare cryptos.

Key features

These are some of the key features of the platform:

DAO governance model

The vision of the DAO governance model is to utilize SuperRare tokens as fuel. The aim is for SuperRare holders to form the SuperRare Governance Council that will manage the platform’s community treasure, new ‘SuperRare Spaces, plans, and decisions concerning the platform.

SuperRare Spaces

The plan is to create SuperRare Spaces, which are independently curated storefronts selected by the token holders. Decentralized artworks will be showcased here.

Sovereign smart contracts

According to an announcement made by the SuperRare NFT, the platform is aiming to expand the capability of its platform’s smart contract. This upgrade will allow artists and creators to create custom NFT minting contracts, which are also referred to as “Sovereign Smart Contracts”. It also possesses unique features like personalized ticker tokenization and shared contracts with other artists.

NFT & Digital Art

NFTs are described as computer files linked with proof of ownership and authenticity of what it is representing, which could be an NFT digital artwork, music, images, etc. Just like cryptocurrencies like BTC, NFTs are also created on a blockchain. Unlike NFT, cryptocurrencies are fungible, which means a BTC is the same as any other single unit of BTC.

However, NFTs are non-fungible and each NFT has its unique valuations, which are determined by the highest bidder of individual NFTs. So, in most cases, artists looking to sell their digital artworks in the form of NFTs have to first sign up to an NFT marketplace. That is where a platform like SuperRare comes in.

They mint their digital artworks into NFT tokens, provided they upload and validate their information on the ETH blockchain or any other blockchain capable of hosting NFTs. The estimated cost for the procedure should be around $40 to $200. After completing these steps, the NFT can then be auctioned on an NFT marketplace like SuperRare as a SuperRare digital art.

It’s undeniable that the undervalue and lack of royalties in most digital artworks have demoralized many artists’ enthusiasm for a very long time. The creation of NFTs has greatly helped artists with creating financial value and adding crucial ingredients of scarcity to their artwork. The importance of scarcity is what makes some baseball-card collectors willing to pay astronomical prices for a piece of cardboard embodied with the picture of Honus Wagner “The legendary Pittsburgh Pirate”. This is exactly what NFT brings into digital art.

Crypto transaction fees may vary depending on the network (Ethereum transaction fees tend to spike during the congestion on the network), your chosen cryptocurrency, an instant exchange provider as well as its transaction processing speed and internal policy. These fees may be relatively low but it’s crucial to know they may be imposed in the first place.

If you want to exchange cryptocurrency with the lowest fees, beware of the offers with a grey-colored “Transaction fees are not included” label displayed under the exchange rate. To avoid having to pay an unexpected amount of fees during the exchange, opt for those that do not have that label. Read our articles to learn more about how to exchange cryptocurrency with the lowest fees and find out which assets have the lowest transaction fees.

What is average transaction time?

arrow

Transactions usually take from 5 to 30 minutes to be processed, especially if you choose currencies with speedy networks. However, there are several factors that may affect and slow down the exchange process, i.e. transaction volume, blockchain capacity, network updates, cryptocurrency itself and the capacity or chosen exchange platforms.

The processing may take longer due to the large transaction volume, congestion of the network, blockchain overload and market overload, technical issues or system failures, lack of liquidity or network maintenance.

The transaction may be also stuck if you forget to add a required Extra ID, mistake networks or use the wrong wallet for a chosen crypto asset. If you worry that the exchange processing is taking too long, please, contact us at [email protected] or via our live chat on the landing page.
