Since August, the overall cryptocurrency market has been in a wide range of shocks, with a lack of obvious hotspots. In this market, RARE has become the most eye-catching pearl in the market.
RARE has soared from around $0.06 on August 5 to above $0.3 in the past two weeks, with a peak increase of over 500%. The spot price of RARE has been rising steadily, but there is no apparent positive news about the RARE token in the market. The perpetual contract of RARE has been in a high funding rate state during the uptrend, and the phenomenon of contract squeezing is evident.
RARE is a token issued by the NFT trading platform SuperRare. It was issued on August 18, 2021, with an initial price of $0.1 and a maximum supply of 1 billion tokens.
The purpose of SuperRare’s governance token is to gradually transfer ownership and management of the network to the community. The following is the initial distribution of RARE tokens:
-Community Treasury - 400,000,000 RARE (40%), reserved by the Community Treasury Department, will be owned and operated by RARE holders. The Community Treasury will initially be held by the DAO Stewardship Committee and the RARE tokens held in the DAO Treasury are eligible for use in the interests of the SuperRare DAO, subject to necessary governance procedures. 25% of the DAO Treasury (1 billion RARE) will be immediately activated (August 17, 2021), with the remainder linearly vested over 4 years.
-Super RareLabs - 255,000,000RARE (25.5% of the total supply), released linearly over 3 years after a 6-month lock-up period;
-Investors - 145,000,000 RARE (4.5%), released in 3 years after 12 months lock-up period;
SuperRare was founded in 2018 with the aim of creating a thoroughly better marketplace for artists, enabling them to easily create, sell, and collect rare digital artworks. The platform’s smart contract allows artists to publish limited edition digital art collections that are tracked on the blockchain. Each artwork is created by a real artist from the network, tokenized, and possesses rare attributes that can be verified.
