- “Rarible Messenger is also the most user-friendly way to connect with anyone via blockchain, allowing users to communicate by entering each other’s wallet addresses,” a statement sent to Bitcoin.com News from the Rarible team explains. “The tool also features privacy settings, which can be enabled to block messages from unknown users.”
- The NFT marketplace’s messenger tool also follows the firm’s Series A funding round that took place at the end of June. Rarible raised $14.2 million from investors such as Venrock, Coinfund, and 01 Advisors.
- Rarible has a great number of competitors in the space that provide NFT marketplaces as well. The competition includes NFT market operations like Opensea, Hic et Nunc, Makers Place, Nifty Gateway, Ethernity, Hoard, Enjin, Fansforever, Foundation, Atomicmarket, Solanart, NBA Top Shot, Superrare, Aavegotchi, and more.
