🗃 RaribleX Case Files of the month

McFarlane Digital marketplace gets a new look

After partnering with McFarlane Toys in early 2023 and creating the go-to NFT marketplace for one of the world's most famous toy brands, we've helped it drop dozens of collections.

To keep the momentum going—and help users navigate the ever-expanding McFarlane ecosystem—we came up with the new clean look for the marketplace. The new website allows you to easily find the collections you need—and be always up to date with the latest mints.

When you team up with RaribleX, we're in it for the long haul.

Mantle NFT ecosystem keeps growing with the Mintle marketplace 

The RaribleX-powered Mintle marketplace celebrated a major milestone this month. The #1 NFT marketplace on Mantle blockchain surpassed an impressive volume of $775k in sales in just 4 months after launching with RaribleX. 

NFT activity on the Ethereum L2 Mantle is flourishing, and we can’t help but be proud to play our part. 

Celebrating $1 million in GMV on the Mattel marketplace

This month, the Mattel Creations digital marketplace hit $1 million in sales.

With Hot Wheels Flow NFTs leading the charge (needless to say, Boss Beauties x Barbie collectibles were also a hit this summer), the marketplace has seen over 540k visits, 12k wallets connected, and an average sale of $28 per transaction since launch— and that audience stayed active even when the wider market was tumbling! 

What can we say? We love onboarding established retail brands and their fans into the blockchain world.

Powering web3 games with SphereOne

Web3 gaming, an industry that is predicted to churn as much as $614B by 2030, is also on our radar. 

This February, we started to step up our game with a fresh partnership with SphereOne. RaribleX marketplaces are set to sync with SphereOne wallets, offering seamless, user-friendly solutions. This includes making purchases with credit/debit cards and using split payments to pay with multiple cryptocurrencies.

🔗 Chain integrations: zkSyncEra, LightLink and Arbitrum

With Ethereum, Flow and various L2 chains up and running, we’re constantly adding new names to the list of chains supported on RaribleX. This month, we’ve completed integrations with zkSync Era, LightLink and Arbitrum, and more are coming soon ;)

🚨 The secret is out: Introducing Rarible API

Have you ever wondered how RaribleX makes such beautiful marketplaces functional? It’s all thanks to the tech behind it. Now, we’re sharing our secrets with the world.

Today, we're rolling out the Rarible API – a toolkit for anyone building NFT dApps that are ready to stand out in web3 (the same one we use for RaribleX marketplaces, so you know it's top-tier!).

🤝 Thanks for building with us

The future of web3 starts now, and we can't wait to build some great stuff with you.
