Rarible, one of the industry’s leading web3 NFT marketplaces, has integrated with Mantle Network to bring a freshly-minted secondary NFT marketplace, Mintle, to all NFT enthusiasts. This exciting collaboration will bring seamless, cost-efficient and secure NFT trading to Mantle Network, and is set to facilitate an exponentially-growing number of NFT-related transactions on-chain.

With this launch, the Rarible and Mantle communities will be one of the first users to explore and experience Mintle and gain easy access to NFTs minted on Mantle Network. One of the first NFT projects that will be featured on Mintle is Mantle’s inaugural NFT collection, Citizens of Mantle. Since its unveiling, we've received overwhelming support and interest from our community, with more than 200,000 whitelist and waitlist responses. Mantle’s unique NFTs are dynamic and upgradable, featuring thousands of character and trait combinations and allowing users the opportunity to create their very own NFT.

Alex Salnikov, chief strategy officer and co-founder of Rarible, commented on this development: "We're incredibly excited to support Mantle Network in growing its NFT vertical because it’s another step towards realizing Rarible's cross-chain vision. It aligns perfectly with our ethos of fostering community-centric marketplaces while pushing the boundaries of what NFTs can offer. Launching the Mintle marketplace is the perfect way to bring Rarible’s marketplace experience to a wider, more engaged audience."

Sean Lee from NFT Partnership Team at Mantle added, “Rarible has a strong track record of delivering exciting branded experiences, advanced customization options, and a safe community environment with its community marketplace offering. We’re excited to launch Mintle in collaboration with Rarible to bring those same exceptional experiences to our DAO-led ecosystem and drive new NFT growth on Mantle Network. Complementary to our unique community-driven engagement program Mantle Journey, we’re excited to chart the next evolution of on-chain interactivity together.”

As Mantle continues to distribute exclusive NFT whitelist slots to its loyal supporters and gets ready for various minting phases, both for existing community members and new entrants, it is crucial that we also provide a platform that can support the safe and reliable exchange, buying and selling of these NFTs — made possible with Rarible.

Looking further ahead, Mintle will go a long way in accelerating the growth of Mantle’s NFT pillar, especially when we expand beyond the Citizens of Mantle collection. As part of the collaboration, Rarible will be offering 150 Citizens of Mantle NFT whitelist slots, exclusive for its community. Find out more here.
