I am writing this as a long-term believer and stakeholder holding 270,000+ RARI (approx. 1% of the circulating supply). [See attached proof of reserves].
I have been holding for a substantial period because I believe in the fundamental technology and the “Royalties” thesis of this protocol. My assets are currently secured in Coinbase Vault storage, but I am ready to migrate them on-chain to participate in governance if necessary to help get this ecosystem moving again.
My Questions: As a significant holder, I am concerned by the lack of visible retail activity and founder presence compared to our competitors.
What is the plan? Is there a roadmap for Q1 2026 to increase retail visibility, or are we strictly a B2B protocol now?
Why the silence? The community feels disconnected. We rarely see leadership or founders engaging in the public square to drive narrative.
How do we ignite growth? We have the tech, but we lack the noise.
My Proposal: We need to get things going. I am asking the Delegates to propose a Marketing & User Acquisition Working Group. I am not afraid to use my voting power to block stagnant budgets, but I would much rather use it to support a bold new growth strategy.
I want this project to succeed. Please give us a reason to stay excited.
Gm, @RariGuardian , I’m so glad that you posted this, and I really appreciate your honesty. You’re 100% right in what you’ve stated. I also view that we as a DAO with the Foundation (and feedback from Rariable) don’t know what are our 2026 goals and north star, as a delegate, I don’t even know that.
If you’re able to, and would like to speak live in our upcoming delegate call tomorrow (Tues, Dec 16th @ 12 noon ET) - in our discord server - I would like to encourage you to attend to discuss this more.
I see that the DAO, and we the delegate and token holders need to work with the Foundation and Rariable to determine what we need to do to accomplish them, and the plans to get there. @Anria , I would to discuss this at our delegate call on Tuesday, can we please have this topic added to the agenda?
Please feel free to reach out directly if you prefer to remain more anon. Thanks, coffee
Thank you for jumping in here! I would love to discuss and brainstorm more together as we all want the success for Rarible and the DAO.
I’ll be on the call and as a marketer by trade, I am happy to jump in with any delegate, token holder and DAO team member to discuss.
Thanks so much for the warm welcome and the invites. It is very kind of you both to offer a direct line and a seat on the call.
I would actually love to join the calls and connect personally down the road. However, for this initial stage, I think it is best to keep the conversation right here on the forum.
I want to do this for two reasons. First, for transparency, I think the whole community deserves to see these answers, not just the people who can make a noon meeting. Second, I really need to see the team’s thinking in writing. Verbal conversations are great, but a written roadmap is something we can actually track.
To be frank, my position is underwater right now. Most people would have left, but I’m still here because I see the potential. I’m not here to run the ops; I’m here to allocate capital. I am prepared to step up, buy more, and back this DAO aggressively to get us back on the map.
I also have some specific marketing concepts I’m ready to share, but tactics are useless without a strategy. I can’t advise a ship that doesn’t have a destination. Show me the Q1 goals first, and I’ll be glad to help with the ‘how.’
Bottom line: Capital follows clarity. I’m ready to double down, but I won’t put resources into a black box. Let’s get the written plan on the record first. Once we have that baseline, I’d be happy to jump on a call to discuss execution.
