RARI Foundation: Q2 and Q3 recap

We are officially in Q4 of 2024! Where did the time go? 

Time flies when you are having fun, and we at RARI Foundation and RARI DAO have been having a blast – all while laying the bricks in the infrastructure for next-gen NFT use cases of the future.

Today, we are less than a month away from a very exciting announcement… While we wait, we invite you to revisit the key events and milestones in the RARI ecosystem from April to September this year.

Perfecting RARI Chain

One of our biggest focus points this year has been enhancing our users’ experience through integrations that make RARI Chain simpler, faster and more convenient to use.

Below is the list of integrations we completed in Q2 and Q3 that make this a reality today. We are proud to have partnered with these industry-leading projects to fine-tune our creator-first, royalty-friendly infrastructure.

• Rari Chain x Friendzone: unlocking new ways for mutual incentivization of artists and communities with SocialFi

• RARI Chain x Dora: NFTs on our chain are now discoverable on Dora explorer

• RARI Chain x Celestia: migrating our data availability to the leading modular DA layer

• RARI Chain x Espresso: fast finality and improved interoperability with other Arbitrum chains

• RARI Chain x Camelot: The largest Arbitrum DEX is live on RARI Chain

• RARI Chain x API3: decentralized data feeds powered by first-party oracle nodes for RARI Chain devs

• RARI Chain x Noves: enhanced readability of DeFi transactions on block explorers

• RARI Chain x OnChainDen: collective asset management on RARI Chain

• RARI Chain x Ajna: next level DeFi opportunities on RARI Chain

• RARI Chain x Gecko Terminal: RARI Chain is now tracked on the most comprehensive real-time DEX tracker

We would also like to highlight:

• Decent, Retrobridge, Stargate and Owlto as the newest bridge partners

• Rabby Wallet and Zerion as wallets supporting RARI Chain

• $RARI available on Revolut

DAO updates

Since the inception of RARI Foundation, together with our supporters, we have been building the governance processes for the RARI ecosystem from the ground up. Growing a community of delegates – industry professionals representing the community interests in the DAO – is a key part of this venture.

During Q2 and Q3, we successfully wrapped up Cohort II of the Delegate Launchpad program, designed to kickstart eligible participants' contributions to the RARI DAO. By popular demand, we are now accepting applications to Cohort III!

In another major update, we announced the finalists of the first RARI Ecosystem Grants Program sprint. These builders are creating innovative products on RARI Chain as we speak!

With the help of our active delegates and our growing community, the following initiatives have been accepted and actioned since April 2023:

• RRC-21 Gas Fee Rebate

• RRC-22 DAO Treasury Diversification Plan
