Shape Goes Live on Rarible with 4 Major Art Drops

Shape, the creator-focused Ethereum Layer 2, is now live on Rarible.com, unlocking new possibilities for NFT trading and creation. To celebrate this integration, we’re kicking things off with four exciting artist drops—and the chance to earn Shape medals while minting and trading. Rarible is one of the few platforms where you can trade Shape NFTs, so what are you waiting for?

What is Shape?

Shape is all about creating a fun, rewarding environment for artists and collectors. Built on Ethereum, Shape is a low cost space to create and build onchain. They’ve also got a nifty gas-back mechanism that rewards creators with 80% of sequencer fees. Right on.

Launched late last year, Shape has quickly become a fun playground for creators and collectors alike, and welcoming them to the Rarible fam is a no-brainer: secondary trading options for Shape have been super limited…until now. Today you can take your Shape NFTs and list them on Rarible’s secondary marketplace.

Earn medals on Rarible

You like fun stuff, right? You can earn Shape medals by trading on Rarible, adding a little extra spice to your mints and trades. 

How does this work?

First you need to head to Shape and mint your stack. The stack is a dynamic NFT that will keep track of all your actions on Shape — think of it like a record of your onchain life. Your Stack NFT tracks your onchain activity, updating dynamically as you earn medals and climb the leaderboard. Higher ranks may unlock future rewards.
