Mocaverse launches custom NFT marketplace with Rarible to address community safety
14 June 2023 - Mocaverse, the Animoca Brands membership NFT collection, has partnered with Rarible, a leading NFT platform for creators and brands, to launch Mocaverse Marketplace, a custom marketplace for the Mocaverse community.
The Mocaverse Marketplace provides the Mocaverse community with a secure dedicated place to trade Mocaverse NFTs with proven authenticity. It is intended to address various user safety concerns associated with trading on third-party platforms, such as the risk of purchasing a copycat or interacting with malicious software.
The Mocaverse Marketplace will offer 0% platform fees on native listings of the Mocaverse collection. It will also respect royalties on all sales conducted on its platform.
The Mocaverse Marketplace experience offers custom features unique to the Mocaverse collection, including filtering with Moca XP points and support for five other ERC-20 tokens, with more features scheduled to launch through the summer.
Moca XP is a points system that tracks how engaged Moca NFT holders are in the Mocaverse ecosystem. Moca XP is earned through staking, participation in activations, engagement in social channels and contribution to the Moca DAO. Having higher Moca XP increases the chance of receiving rewards and benefits at season’s end.
“With the integration of our Moca XP rewards system, the value of a Mocaverse NFT cannot be defined by traits or rarity alone, nor could that value be accurately reflected in generic marketplace settings,” said Alan Lau, chief business officer of Animoca Brands. “By offering Mocaverse holders various custom marketplace features developed in partnership with Rarible, we can effectively integrate trading activities into our broader ecosystem while facilitating a seamless Mocaverse experience.”
Alex Salnikov, co-founder and chief strategy officer of Rarible, said: “The future of Web3 is with innovative brands that create the next level of community engagement. We believe that in order to grow and thrive in the long term, every community needs its own home that is unique, safe, and not dependent on third party policies. And we’re excited to create one with and for Mocaverse.”
The Mocaverse Marketplace is powered by Rarible Protocol, a decentralized infrastructure governed by RARI token holders through the RARI Foundation.
