SuperRare initially functioned as a platform where the core team selected artists to mint their works on a shared smart contract as SuperRare NFTs. However, with the launch of SuperRare 2.0, the platform has begun to decentralize, shifting ownership and governance of the network to the community. SuperRare 2.0 launched on a specific date. The platform is governed by a seven-person governance council that controls the Community Treasury via a 4-of-7 multi-sig wallet. The total supply of RARE, the platform's native token, is 1 billion, with distribution to the core community, the Community Treasury, core contributors at SuperRare Labs, investors, and strategic partners.
