With the help of our infrastructure, major brands have already gone web3 – with outstanding results. Keep reading to learn more about some of our most successful use cases. 

web2 use case: Mattel

Mattel is an iconic toy manufacturing company with IP for world-famous brands such as Barbie and Hot Wheels. Exactly a year ago, Mattel launched its virtual marketplace powered by Rarible API, where users can buy Hot Wheels NFT Garage Collectibles for just $25. 

The launch was a major success, generating $1 million in GMV (gross merchandise value) over a short period.

Mattel became one of the first brands to utilize Rarible X – an off-the-shelf solution for secondary marketplaces built on Rarible API. Benefiting from its built-in features such as instant liquidity and convenient discovery, the brand was able to launch its NFT marketplace quickly, unlocking the new revenue stream and engaging its fans in a new way.

web2 use case: McFarlane

Another web2 brand to choose Rarible API to power its grand web3 entrance is McFarlane, the largest American toy manufacturing company. McFarlane went live with an NFT marketplace where users can shop for Superman, Batman, and other fan-favorite drops.

Owing a collectible of your favorite character in a digital form proved to be a very attractive proposition to McFarlane’s audience. To date, the marketplace generated around $1.3 million in GMV.

web3 use case: Mintle

Mantle Network is a fast and secure Ethereum rollup with one of the world’s largest DAO-led web3 ecosystems. In September 2023, they launched Mintle – an NFT marketplace that enables trading of any NFT collection on the Mantle Network. This is the first Rarible API-powered marketplace built for a blockchain.

Mintle is home to the Citizens of Mantle – network’s inaugural PFP collection that serves as a gateway to an immersive experience within the Mantle ecosystem. By enabling users to trade their upgradable NFTs on a dedicated marketplace, Mantle increased brand loyalty and unlocked a new revenue stream, reaching a whooping $790000 GMV.
