RARI Ecosystem Q1 2024 recap
It might be a cliche to say that time flies, but it feels that we have just launched RARI Chain – and suddenly it’s already April! During this time, over 100k wallets made over 570k transactions, and even more importantly, artists made nearly 200 ETH and secured royalty payments from all future resales of their artworks.
This is just one of the Q1 updates from the RARI ecosystem. Keep reading to catch up on everything that happened since the start of 2024!
Community recap
Launched with a desire to reward as many active RARI Chain users as possible, we had a quest campaign running on Galxe throughout the entire Q1. Starting today, Galxe rewards are available to claim until May 14th. We are excited to offer more rewards programs soon – stay tuned!

Governance recap
The highlight of the RARI DAO governance in Q1 was the launch of the second Delegate Launchpad – a 6-month program to kickstart delegates’ contributions to the RARI DAO. The program started in February, and we are excited to share that our delegates are absolutely killing it!
The following proposals have been brought to life with their initiative and support:
RRC-16: RARI Foundation 2024 Operational Budget:
RRC-17: Distribute remainder of Incentives Reward Program budget
RRC-18: Raise Proposal Quorum
RRC-19: Rari Chain Sequencer Revenue Split
RRC 20: Utilization of 2023 Budget Surplus
We are honored to continue fostering an environment for active community members to stay with us long term and keep coming up with the initiatives to boost the RARI ecosystem growth.
