Non-fungible token (NFT) aggregator Rarible has plans to cease aggregating orders from marketplaces OpenSea, LooksRare, and X2Y2. The decision comes after OpenSea decided to shift to an optional royalty model.

On Thursday, August 17, OpenSea disclosed that royalties – pay cuts from secondary sales – will become optional for new NFT collections after August 31, 2023. Meanwhile, royalty fees for NFT collections that currently utilize the Operator Filter – a feature that enforces creator royalties – will become optional after February 29, 2024.

Although the optional royalty model has always been a source of debate in the NFT community, many marketplaces embrace it – with X2Y2 and LooksRare introducing zero royalty fees for artists as far back as 2022.

Rarible Throws Support Behind NFT Creators And Artists

On Tuesday, August 22, Rarible announced – via a post on X (formerly Twitter) that it will no longer aggregate orders from OpenSea, LooksRare, and X2Y2 by September 30. According to the NFT aggregator, this decision was taken because of its “unwavering support for NFT creators and artists.”

Alex Salnikov, co-founder of Rarible, said in a statement:

The principle of royalties is at the heart of decentralization – a continual affirmation of a creator’s value in every transaction. We stand in solidarity with creators and artists. That’s why we will no longer support marketplaces that neglect royalties.

The Rarible co-founder stated that by making royalties optional, the value and compensation for creativity are also being stripped off. “Decentralization offers the opportunity to dispel the stigma of the “starving artist,” and enable the continued growth of projects through true ownership and ongoing earnings,” he noted.

Salniko urged the NFT community to become more active in defining the future of Web3.

Pressure Mounts On OpenSea

This news is another potential setback for OpenSea, especially as Rarible is not the first NFT entity aiming to cut ties with the one-time largest digital asset marketplace due to its proposed zero-royalty shift. 

On Friday, August 18, Yuga Labs – creators of the popular Bored Ape Yacht Club collection – declared that it had begun the process of sunsetting support for OpenSea’s SeaPort for all “upgradable contracts and new collections” before February 2024.

Despite the seemingly waning interest in the collection, Bored Ape Yacht Club is still one of the most significant contributors to the total trading activity on OpenSea. It ranks as the top collection on the marketplace, with a daily trading volume of 1,440 ETH (approximately $2.37 million). 

Hence, losing this blue-chip collection – and other Yuga Labs’ creations – will likely affect OpenSea’s performance and position in the market. 

According to a new Messari report, Blur remains the dominant marketplace, accounting for about 60% of the total NFT trading volume.

Opeyemi is a proficient writer and enthusiast in the exciting and unique cryptocurrency realm. While the digital asset industry was not his first choice, he has remained absolutely drawn since making a foray into the space over two years. Now, Opeyemi takes pride in creating unique pieces unraveling the complexities of blockchain technology and sharing insights on the latest trends in the world of cryptocurrencies.

Opeyemi savors his attraction to the crypto market, which explains why he spends the better parts of his day looking through different price charts. “Looking” is a rather simple way to describe analyzing and interpreting various price patterns and chart formations. However, it appears that is not Opeyemi’s favorite part - in fact, far from it.

Being able to connect what happens on a price chart to on-chain movements and blockchain activities is what keeps Opeyemi ticking. “This emphasizes the intricacies of blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency market,” he would say. Most importantly, Opeyemi thinks of any market insights as the gospel, while recognizing that he is only a messenger.

When he is not clicking away at his keyboard, Opeyemi is most definitely listening to music, playing games, reading a book, or scrolling through X. He likes to think he is not loyal to a particular genre of music, which can be true on many days. However, the fast-rising Afrobeats genre is a staple in Opeyemi’s Spotify Daily Mix.

Meanwhile, Opeyemi is a voracious reader who enjoys a wide category of books - ranging from science fiction, fantasy, and historical, to even romance. He believes that authors like George R. R. Martin and J. K.
Rowling are the greatest of all time when it comes to putting pen to paper. Opeyemi believes his reading of the Harry Potter series twice is proof of that.

Indeed, Opeyemi enjoys spending most of his time within the four walls of his home. However, he also sometimes finds solace in the company of his friends at a bar, a restaurant, or even on a stroll. In essence, Opeyemi’s ambivert (haha! been searching for an opportunity to use the word to describe myself) nature makes him a social chameleon who is able to quickly adapt to different settings.

Opeyemi recognizes the need to constantly develop oneself in order to stay afloat in a competitive and ever-evolving market like crypto. For this reason, he is always in learning mode, ready to pick up the slightest lesson from every situation. Opeyemi is efficient and likes to deliver all that is required of him in time - he believes that “whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.” Hence, you will always find him striving to be better.

Ultimately, Opeyemi is a good writer and an even better person who is trying to shed light on an exciting world phenomenon - cryptocurrency. He goes to bed every day with a smile of satisfaction on his face, knowing that he has done his bit of the holy assignment - spreading the crypto gospel to the rest of the world.
