Rarible is a non-custodial NFT marketplace at rarible.com. You connect your own wallet to buy, sell and list NFTs on several blockchains, including Ethereum and Solana 613. Rarible never holds your funds or items. Trades settle on-chain from your wallet 6. In 2026 the Rarible brand and platform were sold. Since June 22, 2026, the marketplace has been operated by Gahinga Inc. 1. The RARI token was not part of the sale and is governed separately 7.
Rarible changed hands in mid-2026. The sale of the brand and "core platform assets" was announced on Rarible's X account around May 29, 2026. Press reports name the buyer as Impossible and describe it as Impossible's first acquisition 14. One report says the deal covered the marketplace and the RaribleX software-as-a-service product 15. Terms were not disclosed.
Rarible's own documents use two names. The FAQ says "IMPOSSIBLE acquired the Rarible brand" 7. The Terms of Service, updated June 22, 2026, name Gahinga Inc. as the acquirer. They say it has operated the service since that date and that "Rarible" in the Terms now means Gahinga Inc. 1. The Terms are governed by Panamanian law. Disputes go to conciliation and then arbitration in Panama City 2.
The older site still runs at og.rarible.com, which the homepage says covers "all our partner chains" 13.
RARI is no longer tied to the company that runs rarible.com. The FAQ states that the RARI Foundation ecosystem, including the RARI token, "remains independently managed and governed by the relevant RARI Foundation entities" 7. The sale did not include the token 1415. Holding RARI gives no ownership in the marketplace operator. Older wording in the Terms still mentions RARI as "Rarible's native governance token" 1. Readers should rely on the newer FAQ statement.
Rarible is a decentralized app (DApp). You sign in by connecting a crypto wallet. No email account is needed to browse, buy or sell 6. Rarible does not operate your wallet and cannot retrieve anything from it 3.

Minting. If you create NFTs, you are a "Creator" under the Terms. You must accept separate Creator Terms, which may require your legal name and mailing address 5.
See our guide on how to buy an NFT for the general process.
Rarible charges the seller a marketplace fee of 2% on Ethereum, Base and Polygon, and 1.5% on Solana. The fee comes out of the sale price. Other chains vary, and the fee is shown when you list 10.
| Cost | Who pays | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Rarible marketplace fee | Seller | 2% (Ethereum, Base, Polygon); 1.5% (Solana) 10 |
| Creator royalty | Paid out of the sale | Set by each collection 10 |
| Buying a Rarible listing | Buyer | No extra Rarible fee 10 |
| Buying a listing aggregated from another marketplace | Buyer | That marketplace's fee (Magic Eden, Tensor: 2%); plus 2% Rarible fee on EVM chains 10 |
| MoonPay card payment | Buyer | Shown at checkout 9 |
| Gas | Whoever sends the transaction | Varies by chain 10 |
Example (illustrative, using the FAQ rates): an NFT sells for 1 ETH on Ethereum with a 5% royalty. The seller receives about 0.93 ETH: 1 ETH minus 0.02 ETH Rarible fee and 0.05 ETH royalty. The buyer pays 1 ETH plus gas. The Terms let Rarible change fees with or without notice, but you see the fee before you pay 4.
The 2026 relaunch added two sections 6:
Rarible does not currently require identity verification. It reserves the right to ask for it where laws, sanctions or internal policies require 8. Users must be 18 or older. They must not be on sanctions or terrorism-finance lists or be politically exposed persons 3. Rarible says it cannot verify the service's legality in every country, so that check is left to the user 3.
