SuperRare is an Ethereum-based NFT marketplace specializing exclusively in rare digital artwork NFTs.

Talk about NFT enthusiasts, and the first thing that comes to mind is crypto gamers decorating their NFT avatars or degens obsessed with pixelated, sometimes controversial, art. Few people would immediately link NFTs with fine art during such a conversation. Yet, hidden somewhere in the NFT quarters of the 

 (ETH) blockchain, there’s a welcoming retreat for true digital fine art connoisseurs. Meet SuperRare (RARE) 

 an Ethereum-based NFT marketplace focused on refined and exclusive digital artwork. While most other 

 from gaming assets and avatars to entry tickets and more 

 SuperRare specializes only in fine art NFTs.

The art that finds its spot on the digital shelves of this marketplace isn't trivial or common: true to its name, SuperRare only features rare artwork. In order to be accepted as a creator on the platform, artists must submit an application form and be selected. 

Nevertheless, while some might find the concept of SuperRare a touch too elitist, many others 

 particularly true crypto fine art aficionados 

 will welcome a rare platform that caters exclusively to their tastes.

 is an Ethereum-based NFT marketplace that specializes exclusively in digital artwork NFTs. 

In order to list NFTs on the platform, creators need to submit an application form and be selected by the project team reviewing their samples. One key requirement for NFTs approved by the platform is uniqueness. Using the curated selection process, SuperRare maintains high standards and exclusivity for its marketplace. The platform positions itself as an upmarket provider specializing in quality and rare digital art.

You won't find gaming, web3 domain, membership pass or other types of NFTs on SuperRare. The platform caters only to those interested in artwork-based NFT assets. Contemporary and abstract art–based digital paintings are typically the pieces regularly listed on its marketplace.

SuperRare was launched on Ethereum in April 2018 by SuperRare Labs, a startup founded by three early NFT enthusiasts 

 brothers John Crain and Charles Crain, along with Jonathan Perkins. In August 2021, SuperRare introduced its native token, RARE, designed to promote decentralization and community-driven 

Starting as a creator on SuperRare isn't as easy as on the majority of other NFT marketplaces. To be accepted, creators need to fill out the 

. Successful applicants are contacted and invited to list their work on the marketplace. Part of the selection process requires artists to submit three to five artwork pieces that are used to evaluate their talents, as well as the fit of their creations to the overall spirit and purpose of the platform. Thus, degen-style pixelated monkeys are probably not the surest way to qualify as a SuperRare creator — but who knows?

Those whose work is accepted can then prepare and list their artworks on the marketplace. Each piece of artwork has a size limit of 250 MB, with acceptable file formats of PNG, JPEG, GIF, MP4 and GLB. Tokenizing and selling physical artwork on SuperRare isn't possible, as the platform only supports digital art pieces. The actual artwork is stored on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) platform, while the NFTs reside directly on the Ethereum blockchain.

Upon the first sale of an NFT, known as a mint sale or primary sale, the creator receives 85% of the price, with the remaining 15% going to the 

 Community Treasury, a decentralized fund aimed at promoting the platform's decentralization and community development. Any sales of items after their primary sales are classified as secondary sales, for which the seller receives 90% of the price paid, with the remaining 10% going to the original creator as a royalty.

Buying and Collecting Digital Art on SuperRare

Lovers of digital fine art can purchase SuperRare NFTs via three main modes 

 Auctions, Offers and Buy Now. Auctions are further divided into Reserve Auctions and Scheduled Auctions. The mode under which an NFT is listed is determined by its creator.

 features an initial reserve price. When a bidder meets the price, a 24-hour countdown kicks in to allow other buyers to place their competing bids. Meanwhile, a

 mode, whereby you simply buy the NFT listed at a fixed price by clicking on the 

button. All sales, regardless of their mode, include a 3% transaction fee paid by the buyer.

SuperRare also runs a rewards program for the holders of its exclusive 

. A RarePass entitles the holder to receive one monthly NFT 

 for an artwork from a participating creator chosen by the SuperRare team. Additionally, the holder gets three chances each month to win an NFT from a participating artist. There are 250 RarePasses in total, and a wallet can hold up to five RarePasses that maximize their airdrop rewards and chances to win.

SuperRare is often compared to another popular NFT marketplace, 

. Both platforms are based on the Ethereum network, but they cater to somewhat different audiences, and significantly differ in terms of fees paid and artist royalties. While SuperRare is an exclusive market for rare digital artwork NFTs, OpenSea supports the sales of a wide variety of both exclusive and common NFTs, including those for gaming assets, digital and physical artwork, event tickets, avatars and more.

Royalty fees for secondary sales, which amount to 10% on SuperRare, are optional on OpenSea. In addition, the transaction fee is somewhat lower on OpenSea (2.5%) as compared to SuperRare (3%). Finally, while the transaction fee is paid by the buyer on SuperRare , OpenSea deducts this fee from the seller.

In 2023, the SuperRare Labs team introduced Rare Protocol, a set of 

 on Ethereum designed to promote the open curation and discovery of rare NFTs. The protocol is open for anyone to participate. Users of Rare Protocol can 

 RARE, the platform's native cryptocurrency, on their preferred creator to gain entry into the artist's Rarity Pool. As the creator sells their fine art NFTs, stakers in their Rarity Pool also receive crypto rewards from the sales.

As users continue staking in different pools, the SuperRare protocol will create a web of Curated Lists, each containing a list of various creators endorsed by the staker community. Hence, Curated Lists and Rarity Pools are deeply intertwined, allowing Rare Protocol to serve as a giant hub for rare NFT and talent discovery. The whole idea behind Rare Protocol is to encourage active NFT discovery and curation driven by the user community.

In August 2021, the project introduced its native governance and curation token, RARE. RARE is an 

 asset on the Ethereum blockchain. It's used primarily for the following functions:

RARE's total and maximum supply is specified at 1 billion. The entire supply will be released within four years from the token's launch (by August 2025), as some portion of it is subject to vesting schedules. The distribution shares for the total supply are shown in the chart below.

As of Sep 16, 2024, the RARE token is trading at $0.1368, which is 96.3% lower than its all-time high (ATH) of $3.64 on Oct 11, 2021, and 166% higher than its all-time low (ATL) of $0.05122 on Oct 19, 2023.

Long-term price forecasts for RARE are generally bullish. PricePrediction 

 to trade at $0.205 in 2025 and $1.37 in 2030, while DigitalCoinPrice 

 price of $0.36 in 2025 and $1.03 in 2030.

You might consider investing in the RARE cryptocurrency based on the following considerations:

SuperRare's NFT art market is a unique place within the blockchain ecosystem, where creators can sell art that attracts truly refined tastes. There's no shortage of marketplaces flipping NFTs whose prices are close to zero, and whose utility is limited to a minor asset within an obscure crypto game. In fact, the NFT marketplace corner of the industry is crazily competitive, with many providers plying the trade. 

In this NFT sea of mediocrity, SuperRare stands out as the symbol of fine quality in artwork NFTs, still unchallenged in that space after more than six years since its launch.

In the first article of this series, we introduced how to utilize Bybit's USDT savings plan to secure high yields and counteract the effects of currency depreciation. In this continuation, we explore how to consistently grow your assets using a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy. Recognized as the most trusted cryptocurrency, Bitcoin presents significant long-term growth opportunities. By implementing a BTC DCA strategy, you can spread your investment risk over time and achieve stable growth in your assets.

DCA is an investment strategy used to reduce the impact of volatility on large purchases of financial assets such as stocks or cryptocurrencies. By following the DCA approach, an investor divides the total amount to be invested across periodic purchases of a target asset in an effort to reduce the risk associated with volatile price movements. The benefits of a DCA strategy include: 

As a market leader in the cryptocurrency space, Bitcoin is highly recognized and boasts the most liquidity in the crypto market, making it a favored choice among investors for its long-term investment potential. By employing a Bitcoin DCA strategy, investors can incrementally build their holdings without the need for significant initial capital or advanced trading skills to time the market. This approach not only mitigates timing risk but also capitalizes on Bitcoin’s potential for long-term appreciation.

To better understand how a DCA strategy functions, consider the following example: this simulation demonstrates the outcome of investing 10 USDT into Bitcoin every week from January 2, 2023, to May 27, 2024.

In this simulation, the significant rise in BTC price resulted in a substantial increase in the investment value over a period of one year and five months. Although the simulation coincides with a bullish market phase, enhancing the returns, the effectiveness of a DCA strategy in spreading risk and mitigating the impact of price volatility remains clear. This strategy is particularly valuable given BTC’s large volatility, and with its long-term trajectory leaning towards an uptrend, capitalizing on this potential using DCA could prove highly beneficial.

Conversely, if the same amount were held in Japanese yen, with its near-zero interest rate, the total investment value after one year and five months would remain roughly unchanged at 710 USDT. Furthermore, the real purchasing power of this amount might decrease due to inflationary pressures.

How to Implement a DCA Strategy for BTC Using Bybit

Implementing a Dollar-Cost Averaging strategy with Bitcoin is an effective way to mitigate risk against market volatility while capitalizing on Bitcoin’s long-term growth potential. This strategy is flexible and beginner-friendly, requiring no advanced trading skills, and provides a systematic approach to steadily accumulate Bitcoin. The Bybit platform offers a DCA bot that simplifies the execution of this strategy, lowering the learning curve and facilitating a smoother path to asset growth.
