Notably, the platform has announced it is transitioning into an aggregated NFT marketplace, pulling Ethereum NFT listings from competitors likeOpenSea,LooksRare,X2Y2andSudoswap. The change will allow users to find the best price for an NFT listed in multiple locations before deciding to purchase, with no additional fees from Rarible.

The platform has also launched a new feature that allows users to add multiple NFTs to a "shopping bag," which will allow them to purchase several digital assets in a single transaction, thereby minimizing associated transaction fees.

In addition, Rarible 2 offers new updates to the distribution of the RARI, theRARI DAO's governance token, and establishes the independentRARI Foundation, which is fully controlled and operated by RARI holders.

As part of this shift, the RARI DAO has also introduced RARI locking, which allows users to send RARI to a "token-locking contract" in exchange for rewards. This means that token holders can lock up their tokens and receive veRARI (vote-escrowed RARI tokens) to be used for voting rights and exclusive perks.

As an added bonus, a portion of RARI tokens will be retroactivelyairdroppedto users that purchased more than three NFTs from both OpenSea and Rarible's order book on Rarible.com from July 1 to Sept. 30.

"We launched Rarible 2 to offer users all the available NFT inventory at the best prices and introduced rewards as an added bonus for our community,” said Alexei Falin, CEO and co-founder of Rarible.

José Delbo sent me his striking pencil sketch and powerful inked work, which I then interpreted in oil on canvas. I wanted to create a very painterly piece with obvious brush marks etc, but I was also aiming for a nostalgic feel, a kind of 1980’s superhero comic book look, the kind I grew up with. My goal with this animation was to try to recreate, in part, the creative process that both artists went through with the visual information I had. I was able to showcase my painting process more accurately as I could take photographs of my progress throughout. Consecutive images could then be layered like brush strokes over José’s drawing to create the impression that this was one continuous artwork from pencil, to ink, to completed painting. The representation of the line sketch at the beginning, then pencil/ink and lastly the paint layers being applied demonstrate both artists’ struggle for the right lines, tone, form, and colour until the work is finally completed. As the oil was still wet with each photograph the glare of my studio lights can be seen in the brush strokes. Eventually, the figure emerges and as it does, our hero comes to life, looking directly at the viewer -- but is he grimacing in approval or disgust? We will never know for sure as just before he can say anything, white paint is brushed across the canvas entirely and the process begins again. Only the bat is quick enough to escape.

*hissing noises*! I'm chart pouty spock. All you need to know about me is I hate wet food with a passion. I once kissed a gecko. I don't like to talk about it. We're so fur-tunate to have found each other!
Art Is The Currency of the Infinite
This still-life, titled after one of Pablo Picasso's infamous quotes, was made solely using 3D softwares and apps, in an attempt to bring this often forgotten artistic genre into the 21st century through the use of new artistic mediums and technologies. This piece is also an invitation to meditate on the role of "value" throught the ages and how it's been radically altered by the coming into existence of technologies and concepts like cryptocurrencies and digital scarcity.
