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.
I am also a long term RARI holder currently holding 110k tokens down significantly.
I suggested on the forum before to get RARI listed on more exchanges such ss Binance/ Bybit etc which clearly draws more adoption and volume.
Also people who buy/sell nfts on the marketplace should be incentivized to use RARI token or the setup should be such that they are compelled to use RARI tokens which increases use case for RARI token.
Hello, everyone! This is Alex K. I manage the token infrastructure.
Nice to meet you here, @Shadee and @RariGuardian! Thank you for your feedback; it’s really useful.
After reading it, I feel that I should step in and shed some light on the token strategy regarding the listings. My initial plan to get listed on Bybit was pre-approved in June. Since then, I’ve been working constantly to get RARI listed on more top-tier exchanges.
Please keep in mind that Binance and Bybit don’t list any tokens with a “just a fee” structure. They always research to better understand what has recently been achieved within the project, such as which metrics are up.
After consistently showing Kucoin, Kraken, and BingX our progress, they listed RARI. This process is ongoing. We need to climb higher on this ladder to achieve more top-tier listings, with Binance being the ultimate goal. Rest assured that we are on the right track. Our next steps are clear, and we are actively negotiating. We need to overcome these market conditions and secure new listings soon.
Hello Alex
If Bybit got pre approved in June why didn’t it list Rari then?
Also with current market conditions what is the team doing to stop this constant downward momentum cause at this rate RARI won’t make far, the volume overall is just not there.
Rari was a top 500 token not long ago now its sitting in the 1300’s on Coin Market Cap so clearly the strategy is not working its loosing value not because the overall market is down but it is severely underperforming with respect to the overall market
Something needs to be done very quickly to bail us out from these current conditions or i am fearful it will be too late
Great to meet you, and thank you for the transparency. It is refreshing to see the team engaging directly with holders on the listing strategy.
You made a crucial point: “Binance/Bybit need to see metrics and recent achievements, not just fees.”
You are 100% right. That is exactly why I’ve been active behind the scenes.
I am currently navigating a potential major partnership that targets this exact issue—bringing significant active user volume and a fresh utility narrative to the chain. It’s the kind of “Growth Story” that could give you the ammo you need for those Binance conversations.
I’m working through the early stages with the team now to see if we can get it across the line. If it lands, it will be a game-changer for those metrics.
I think for now the 24 eth for RARI swap can help relieve this selling pressure and can stop this down trend otherwise things are not looking good and its gonna be too late for anything. Things should not have come to this but here we are.
Hello, @Shadee. There was a misunderstanding between us. Bybit did not pre-approve the listing. However, our management pre-approved my plan, which had one primary goal: to be listed on Bybit by the end of 2025.
As I mentioned above, we were very close to achieving this goal by the end of the year. We’ve received several offers that could lead to a listing on Bybit, but we’ve put them on hold. It wouldn’t make sense to get listed on this market because the metrics wouldn’t improve, and I wouldn’t be able to show Bybit that RARI is worth it.
Currently, we have a conservative strategy involving liquidity management through our partners to stabilize the price.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I will research any potential sources of growth.
Could you also clarify what you mean by a 24 ETH swap? As the foundation, we are not allowed to make swaps to support the price. It’s legally impossible. If you meant something else, please let me know. Thanks!
Alex, thanks for the transparency. It is helpful to understand the specific hurdles with Bybit.
You asked for “suggestions and potential sources of growth” to improve our metrics. I have the answer, and I have already delivered the details to the Foundation privately.
As I mentioned in my earlier post, I am navigating a major partnership opportunity that targets this exact issue.
The Problem: You put Bybit on hold because our “Active User Metrics” aren’t high enough yet.
The Solution: The partner I am bringing to the table has a user base of ~100k active monthly users that we can onboard via Account Abstraction.
The Result: We gain the exact volume and wallet activity you need to go back to Bybit and sign that listing.
Next Steps: I have already sent the full scope and the request for technical review to the Foundation team privately to keep the partner details confidential for now.
Since you are managing the Listings, you need to see this. Please sync with the team internally to review the proposal.
I am just waiting on a simple internal verification to unblock the technical data. Once we get that green light, we can hand you the metrics you need to win.
Hi Alex
I personally believe that without volume the price won’t appreciate. Even though RARI is listed on Coinbase, Kucoin, Kraken etc the 24 Hour volume on a good day is barely 500k. Whenever there is spike in RARI price its when the volume goes up. Also from the last year it has become a pump and dump coin.
The solution to this is improving use cases for RARI. Have more people buy it. Through Rarible marketplace you can make it mandatory for anyone buying and selling NFT’s to use RARI token instead of Eth or USDC etc.
Another idea is more exchange listings. The more exchanges it goes to the more accessible it gets generates more volume. But it has to be one of the big boys like Bybit and Binance. They generate tremendous amount of volume.
As of now i don’t know what the immediate actions can be taken to stop this downward trend and honestly its not just now RARI is being on a downward spiral for more than a year its was a top 500 coin on Coin Market Cap now its in the 1300’s.
But whatever needs to happen has to happen ASAP cause i am fearful it wont survive this as things are not looking good. Time to ponder upon ideas is long gone its time to act and act swiftly and decisively.
