Rarible Storefronts: Making Onchain Commerce as Simple as Shopify
🛍️ Shopify meets blockchain
Rarible is simplifying Web3 commerce with its new Storefronts platform, making it as easy to launch an onchain store as creating a Shopify or Wix site.
Key features:
- Full creator and brand control over sales and community engagement
- White-label infrastructure for seamless Web3 onboarding
- Custom marketplace solutions without building from scratch
Rarible CEO Jonas Lamis explained how the platform serves three customer types: creators, collectors, and blockchain networks. The company has evolved beyond just being a marketplace to powering the full NFT infrastructure stack.
Recent partnerships with Crossmint and Privy, plus the Flippp acquisition, are part of Rarible's mission to make Web3 "simple, intuitive, and accessible to everyone."
RaribleX has already helped dozens of brands launch custom Web3 marketplaces, focusing on making the technology approachable for "normies" - everyday users unfamiliar with crypto complexity.
The platform enables brands to launch branded NFT marketplaces quickly, without the technical overhead of building blockchain infrastructure from the ground up.
"It’s about making it as easy as launching a Shopify or Wix site, but onchain." @jonaslamis talked with @CryptoHipster about how Rarible Storefronts give creators and brands full control over how they sell and engage with their communities.
"Our goal is to build things normies can use." On @SynopsisEvents, our CEO @jonaslamis explained how the @flippplol acquisition and partnerships with @crossmint and @privy_io are helping Rarible make Web3 simple, intuitive, and accessible to everyone.
Rarible remains a marketplace at heart, but we’ve expanded our focus to go beyond buying and selling. Today we also power the infrastructure that helps chains, brands, and communities build their own onchain marketplaces, ecosystems, and experiences. @jonaslamis @SynopsisEvents
