DNS.xyz x Rarible Communities proposal

Rarible DAO is looking for a way to offer websites to NFT projects. A project like Cryptopunks could have their own website, show their NFT collection, let users buy and sell NFTs directly from their website using the Rarible protocol. This would remove the need to use OpenSea altogether!

Problem / Opportunity

The DNS team has been working with Jaacob (ScreensaverWorld) on their Metamart, a whitelabel marketplace built on top of the Rarible Protocol. They completed the integration of DNS.xyz profiles, which gives decentralized profiles to every user. This project would be a continuation of Metamart: offering open source, ready to use websites to NFT projects. Instead of giving third parties a commission every time, they would be in control, and keep their users under the same roof, on their own website. Users of the collections will be able to create profiles on DNS, similarly to Metamart. This ensures they are part of the Rarible Protocol community.

The DNS team would be handling the development, continuing based on the Metamart and their own marketplace work. It is something they will be supporting full time with their development team and commit to supporting the projects joining the Rarible ecosystem full time. They are committing to supporting the development of this platform as an open source project on top of the Rarible Protocol, and to work with communities that the Rarible DAO team wants to onboard. This covers developing the websites, managing hosting, taking support requests, and handling feature improvements. As Rarible DAO adds support for more chains, the DNS team will add full support for them as well. This ensures that every community built with Rarible Protocol gets new features all the time, and that more communities can be enrolled as feature coverage is increased.
