Executive Summary
The Rarible Creator Fund Program, administered by the RARI Foundation, is designed to empower innovative creators, brands, and communities building within the Rarible ecosystem while advancing onchain commerce.
During the second quarter of operations starting on December 14th, 2025, till March 14th, 2026, the program received 38 (199 total) grant applications. Following a thorough evaluation process, one grant was awarded, valued at $3,500 and disbursed in $RARI tokens.
Notable ecosystem developments included the launch of MegaETH, which underperformed expectations. Additionally, Glitchy Bunnies migrated to OpenSea, and Dead Bit Nation was unable to achieve a full sell-out on Rarible. The program generated initial treasury revenue of approximately $800 USDC equivalent during this period.
As Rarible transitions to new leadership, the program maintains strong financial stewardship. Remaining funds currently stand at 65,538 $RARI tokens, equivalent to approximately $10,047 USD (as of the report date).
The Rarible Creator Fund continues to prioritize transparency, meaningful community impact, and sustainable long-term value creation, fully aligned with the RARI Foundation’s mission.
Program Activity
- Applications Received: 38. The program attracted significant interest from creators across the NFT and onchain space. Applications varied in scope, including digital art collections, community initiatives, and protocol integrations.
- Review Process and Criteria: The Working Group evaluated submissions based on community, potential impact on the Rarible ecosystem, team execution capability, and revenue-generating potential. A key observation was that the majority of applications did NOT demonstrate viable paths to sustainability or revenue, leading to a selective approval rate. This rigorous approach ensures fund allocation maximizes value for the RARI DAO and community.
