ℹ️ About SuperRare

SuperRare is the premier curated NFT marketplace for one-of-one digital artworks on the Ethereum blockchain, founded in 2018 by John Crain, Charles Crain, and Jonathan Perkins.

Unlike open platforms, every artist must pass editorial review, ensuring collector-grade provenance and scarcity. Artists earn 85% on primary sales and 10% perpetual royalties on all secondary trades — enforced automatically by smart contract.

The platform is governed by the RARE DAO token, giving the community direct control over curation, treasury allocation, and protocol upgrades. SuperRare has facilitated over $300M in total cryptoart sales and $180M earned by artists since launch.
