NFTs aren’t confined to a single blockchain ocean anymore. Two of the biggest marketplaces — OpenSea and Rarible — have spread their sails across multiple blockchains, letting creators mint and showcase NFTs far beyond Ethereum. This blog post takes you on a fun tour of the blockchains powering OpenSea and Rarible, where NFTs come to life. We’ll dive into the multichain ecosystems these platforms support, from the stalwart Ethereum to up-and-coming networks (ever heard of ApeChain or Goat Network?). Whether you’re a seasoned blockchain enthusiast or an NFT creator looking for new horizons, get ready for an upbeat journey through the diverse blockchain realms supported by OpenSea and Rarible — and why this multichain movement is so exciting! 🥳
First, let’s set the scene with the blockchain that started it all for NFTs.
Ethereum is the birthplace of the modern NFT boom and the original home for both OpenSea and Rarible. Launched in 2015, Ethereum introduced smart contracts and gave us the ERC-721 token standard that defines most NFTs. It’s often called the “mainnet” for NFTs, hosting legendary collections like CryptoPunks and Bored Apes. Ethereum’s native currency, ETH, fuels transactions (a.k.a. paying gas fees). While Ethereum transitioned to a proof-of-stake consensus in 2022 to reduce energy use, it’s still known for relatively high gas costs when the network is busy. Those costs haven’t stopped it from being the premium NFT network — most high-value NFT trades happen on Ethereum. Both OpenSea and Rarible cut their teeth on Ethereum, and to this day it’s the core blockchain for activity on these platforms. If you have an Ethereum wallet (like MetaMask), you’re already set to explore a vast sea of NFTs on either marketplace.
But the story doesn’t end with Ethereum. To make NFTs more accessible, OpenSea and Rarible have ventured into many other blockchains. Let’s start with OpenSea’s journey across blockchains big and small.
OpenSea calls itself “the largest NFT marketplace”, and it’s not just on Ethereum anymore. In fact, OpenSea 2 (OS2), the platform’s new iteration, supports trading on 19 different blockchains as of 2025. Their goal is to connect people with NFTs across as many networks as possible. Here are the key blockchains (and blockchain families) that OpenSea embraces for minting and displaying NFTs:
Ethereum Mainnet — As mentioned, Ethereum is OpenSea’s primary network for NFTs, known for its wide adoption and valuable collections. It uses ETH for transactions and anchors OpenSea’s identity. OpenSea’s roots are deeply tied to Ethereum, but high gas fees and network congestion led OpenSea to seek additional chains for scalability.
Polygon (POL) — Polygon is an Ethereum-compatible sidechain that offers faster and cheaper transactions. OpenSea added Polygon support back in 2021 to let users mint NFTs without crazy fees. Polygon uses its token POL (and also supports bridged ETH, USDC, etc.), and creators love it for games and collectibles that need low-cost minting. Think of Polygon as Ethereum’s speedy sibling — you can bridge your assets from Ethereum to Polygon and trade with just pennies in gas. On OpenSea, Polygon NFTs have become very popular for entry-level drops and large collections because of the negligible fees.
Solana — In 2022, Solana emerged as a fast, low-cost blockchain for NFTs, and OpenSea couldn’t resist joining the Solana party. OpenSea launched Solana NFT support (beta) in spring 2022, allowing popular Solana profile-pic collections and gaming NFTs to be bought and sold on OpenSea. Solana’s native token SOL powers these transactions. However, Solana’s NFT scene had strong native marketplaces (Magic Eden, etc.), and OpenSea’s first integration saw limited traction. Fast forward to 2025: OpenSea temporarily paused Solana NFTs but has confirmed that full Solana NFT trading will return as part of its multichain overhaul. In the meantime, OpenSea already enables Solana token swapping, so you can trade SOL-based tokens (like $BONK or others) on OpenSea and get ready for Solana NFTs’ comeback. Solana’s appeal is its speed (up to 65k transactions/second) and ultra-low fees, making it an enticing alternative chain for NFT creators eager to reach non-Ethereum audiences.
Layer-2 Ethereum Rollups (Arbitrum & Optimism) — OpenSea jumped into Ethereum’s L2 scaling networks to give users relief from mainnet gas prices.
OpenSea’s multichain ride is impressive, but it’s not alone in this journey. Rarible — another prominent NFT marketplace — has its own ingenious approach to multichain NFTs, often pushing into new territories before anyone else. Let’s check out Rarible’s blockchain lineup!
Rarible has been multi-chain almost from the start, positioning itself as a community-centric marketplace that isn’t tied to just one blockchain. In fact, Rarible’s mission is to support NFTs “across every chain possible,” and it shows in the list of blockchains they’ve integrated. As of 2025, Rarible supports an eclectic mix of networks for minting and displaying NFTs — ranging from Ethereum to niche Layer-3 chains and even a Bitcoin sidechain. Here are the highlights of Rarible’s blockchain ecosystem:
Ethereum (and EVM Cousins) — Just like OpenSea, Ethereum is a core pillar for Rarible, hosting the majority of its trading volume and the platform’s own governance token RARI (which was one of the first NFT marketplace tokens). Rarible also supports Polygon — essential for low-fee NFT trades — and other Ethereum Virtual Machine networks by design. For example, Celo (a mobile-friendly PoS chain) is integrated, using CELO or bridged ETH for NFT transactions. Moonbeam, an EVM chain on Polkadot, is supported as well (using GLMR token). In short, if it runs Solidity smart contracts, Rarible likely supports it. This makes it easy for Ethereum-native creators to branch out — you can mint on Ethereum, or just as easily on an EVM sidechain like Polygon or Celo via Rarible’s interface, tapping into much lower fees.
Flow — Rarible was one of the first major marketplaces to expand beyond Ethereum when it integrated Flow in late 2021. Flow, created by Dapper Labs, is famous for hosting NBA Top Shot and other sports and gaming NFTs. By November 2021, Rarible users could create, list, and trade Flow-based collectibles. This was a big step: Flow is a different architecture (not EVM), yet Rarible built support so that Flow’s fast and developer-friendly environment could be accessed by NFT creators on Rarible. This move brought Flow’s mainstream IPs (think basketball highlights, NFL moments, etc.) under the same roof as Ethereum art NFTs, giving collectors a unified experience. Flow uses the FLOW token for transactions, and on Rarible it opened the door to new fans looking for sustainable, high-throughput blockchain NFTs.
Tezos — In December 2021, Rarible added Tezos, making it the third blockchain on the platform after Ethereum and Flow. Tezos is known for its energy-efficient proof-of-stake network and a thriving cryptoart community that champions “clean NFTs.” Rarible’s Tezos integration meant users could mint and trade
As you can see, Rarible’s approach to multichain is expansive and innovative, often embracing new technologies (like custom L3 chains or cross-chain bridges) to include as many NFT communities as possible. This is great news for NFT creators: it means more choice and a broader audience.
Both OpenSea and Rarible are racing full throttle into multichain support — but what does that mean for creators and collectors? In a word: freedom. Here are a few key perks of this multichain wave:
Lower Fees & Greener Options: High gas fees on Ethereum have been a barrier for new artists and collectors. With Polygon, Tezos, Flow, and other efficient chains on these marketplaces, creators can mint art without worrying that buyers will balk at fees. Tezos and Flow, for example, offer eco-friendly, low-cost transactions, and Ethereum L2s cut fees to pennies. Multichain marketplaces give you the option to choose a chain that fits your needs — be it cost, speed, or environmental impact.
Wider Audience Reach: Different blockchains have different communities. Solana has a huge base of collectors that might not be active on Ethereum; Tezos has a passionate art crowd; Polygon has many gamers. By listing your NFT on a platform that supports all these networks, you automatically broaden your potential audience. Your Ethereum NFT can be discovered by a Solana enthusiast browsing OpenSea, and your Tezos artwork can catch the eye of an Ethereum collector on Rarible. Multichain platforms break down silos and bring all the collectors into one big tent.
Creative Flexibility: As an NFT creator, you might want to experiment with the unique features of various chains. Maybe you love Tezos for its on-chain governance and want to involve your collectors in decisions, or you need the super-fast finality of Immutable X for an NFT-based game. With OpenSea and Rarible supporting so many networks, you can leverage the strengths of each blockchain without having to build a presence on separate marketplaces. You could drop a generative art series on Ethereum, a collectible game item on Polygon, and a music NFT on Flow, all under the umbrella of the same marketplace profile. It’s like having a multi-studio exhibition for your work.
Innovation and Early Adoption: These marketplaces adding new chains means as a user you often get to play with cutting-edge tech early. For example, when new Layer-3 chains (like Rarible’s own RARI Chain or Arbitrum Orbit chains) come out, you can be among the first to mint there and capture that early adopter advantage, without waiting for a niche marketplace to gain traction. OpenSea supporting something like Berachain’s Proof-of-Liquidity model or Rarible integrating a Bitcoin-focused chain like Goat means you get to ride the innovation wave. It keeps the NFT space exciting and dynamic — there’s always a new “realm” to explore.
In essence, OpenSea and Rarible expanding their blockchain support is a sign of the NFT space maturing and diversifying. Just as social media moved from one network to many specialized platforms (and then tools to manage them), NFTs are now truly everywhere — and our marketplaces are evolving into multiverse portals where all these blockchain worlds meet.
The blockchains used by OpenSea and Rarible form a vibrant patchwork, turning the NFT market into one big, exciting universe. Ethereum may be the sun at the center, but around it orbits a galaxy of other chains — each with its own gravity and style — now all accessible through these platforms. OpenSea is diving into Web3 full-throttle, supporting 19+ networks from Solana to Layer-3 experiments, while Rarible is building bridges everywhere, even launching its own creator-centric chain to push the envelope.
For blockchain enthusiasts, it’s fascinating to see concepts like Arbitrum rollups, zkSync tech, or Tezos rollups (Etherlink) all converging in the NFT space. For NFT creators, it’s never been a more empowering time — you can choose your canvas from a palette of blockchains and still reach your fans in one place. And for collectors, it’s like having a multi-dimensional treasure hunt: one moment you’re buying an ETH blue-chip, the next you’re snagging a 1/1 Tezos art piece or a gaming NFT on IMX, all without leaving your favorite marketplace.
The tone in the NFT community has shifted from “Ethereum vs. others” to “Why not both (or all)?”. Marketplaces championing multichain support have made that possible. OpenSea and Rarible are highlighting that NFTs truly live on many blockchains — and they’re ensuring you don’t need to be a tech wizard to participate in any of them. It’s all about inclusivity and innovation, delivered in a light, accessible way that invites everyone to play.
So, whether you’re minting your next collection or hunting for that rare collectible, remember: the NFT world is your oyster, and now that oyster spans multiple blockchains! 🧑🚀 Dive in, explore new chains on OpenSea and Rarible, and have fun in the multichain NFT wave. The future of digital creativity is decentralized, interconnected, and incredibly exciting — and we’re all lucky to be surfing this wave together. Hang tight and happy minting across the multiverse! 🎉

Avalanche — A popular independent Layer-1, Avalanche got OpenSea support as well. Avalanche’s C-Chain (Contract Chain) is EVM-compatible and runs on a speedy proof-of-stake network known for finance and gaming DApps. OpenSea added Avalanche so users could mint and trade on one of the fastest-growing alt-chains. The native token AVAX is used for fees. Avalanche brings high throughput and short block times, attracting projects that need quick finality. On OpenSea, Avalanche NFTs (on the C-Chain) benefit from this efficiency — and creators benefit from lower fees than Ethereum while still tapping into a vibrant community. By integrating Avalanche, OpenSea signaled that even non-Ethereum-origin networks with their own ecosystems are part of its multichain vision.
Other Rising Chains — OpenSea didn’t stop there; it’s casting a wide net across the blockchain world. The platform now supports a smorgasbord of newer networks — some major, some experimental — to leave no NFT community behind. A few notable mentions:
Base — Coinbase’s Ethereum L2, launched in 2023, built with the OP Stack for scalability. Base offers low-cost minting and a big name (Coinbase) backing it. OpenSea embraced Base early, making it a home for many new NFT drops.
Zora Network — An NFT-centric Layer 2 powered by Optimism tech, geared towards on-chain media and art. Zora’s marketplace roots and creator focus made it a natural addition — perfect for on-chain artists looking for Ethereum security without the cost.
Ronin — A sidechain for Axie Infinity’s ecosystem, Ronin uses RON tokens and is optimized for gaming NFTs. OpenSea added Ronin so Axie and other game assets could be traded alongside other NFTs, bridging the gap between a specialized gaming chain and the wider NFT market.
Flow — Dapper Labs’ blockchain (famous for NBA Top Shot) that isn’t EVM-based — surprisingly, OpenSea has made Flow EVM-equivalent and compatible with MetaMask via a custom script. This means OpenSea users can buy Flow NFTs by treating Flow almost like an Ethereum-like chain. Flow’s native token FLOW is used for purchases, so you can snag a Flow NFT on OpenSea even if you don’t have a Flow-native wallet.
ApeChain — Yes, this is real! 🦍 ApeChain is an Arbitrum Orbit chain (essentially a custom Layer-3 running on Arbitrum’s infrastructure) dedicated to the ApeCoin ecosystem. Its native $APE token is used for gas. By supporting ApeChain, OpenSea shows it’s open to community-driven micro-chains too — perfect for specialized NFT experiences where Apes rule.
Others… OpenSea’s list goes on: Blast (an Ethereum L2), Sei (a fast new L1 optimized for trading), B3 (a gaming Layer-3 on Base), Berachain (an upcoming DeFi-friendly L1 using a novel consensus), Soneium (a creator-focused Ethereum L2), Shape (an EVM chain with a “gasback” rewards twist for creators), Unichain (Uniswap Labs’ own ultra-fast L2), Abstract (a zkSync-powered L2 for consumers), and more. It’s a dizzying range of blockchains, but that’s the point — OpenSea wants to be everywhere NFTs live. From big players to quirky newcomers, OpenSea is integrating with “virtually every token” network it can. This multichain push even allows cross-chain actions like buying an NFT on one chain with a currency from another, making the experience seamless. The result? OpenSea has transformed into a one-stop shop across 19+ networks, so you can explore NFTs on Ethereum one minute and, in a few clicks, discover a hidden gem on some brand-new chain the next.
Solana — When Solana NFTs surged in popularity, Rarible was quick to hop on board. In July 2022, Rarible integrated Solana blockchain NFTs with a bang — even offering 0% trading fees for the first month to attract Solana traders. By doing so, Rarible welcomed communities from projects like Degenerate Apes and DeGods, which were big on Solana. The integration used the Metaplex protocol (the standard for Solana NFTs), and allowed trading using SOL. With Solana’s incredible speed (sub-second finality) and near-zero fees, Rarible provided creators an alternative to Ethereum without leaving the platform. This came just after OpenSea’s debut of Solana support, signaling a multichain race to include the hottest chains. Now, both OpenSea and Rarible have Solana in their repertoire, giving NFT creators maximum exposure across chains.
Immutable X — Rarible supports Immutable X (IMX), a Layer-2 scaling solution specifically built for NFTs and blockchain games. Immutable X uses zk-rollup tech to enable gas-free minting and trading — a huge boon for games that have thousands of low-cost assets. By integrating IMX, Rarible became a marketplace for gaming NFTs like Gods Unchained cards and others that live on Immutable’s network. IMX is the token used for fees and staking. For Rarible users, it means you can trade high-volume, low-cost items (like game collectibles) without worrying about gas, all within the familiar Rarible interface. It’s a sign of Rarible’s commitment to the NFT gaming sector.
zkSync Era — As zero-knowledge rollups gained traction, Rarible integrated zkSync Era, another Ethereum Layer-2 that uses ZK tech for speedy, secure transactions. zkSync Era allows NFTs to be minted and transferred with Ethereum-level security but far cheaper fees (paid in ETH or tokens). Rarible’s support of zkSync means it’s keeping up with the latest scaling innovations — giving creators yet another option for cost-effective minting. If you want to experiment with cutting-edge Layer-2’s for your NFTs, Rarible has you covered with zkSync Era support.
RARI Chain (Creator L3) — One of Rarible’s most exciting blockchain initiatives is its very own chain: RARI Chain. Launched in January 2024, RARI Chain is an NFT-specific Layer-3 blockchain built on top of Arbitrum’s technology. It was designed by the Rarible team to be “lightning-fast” with near-zero gas fees and, importantly, to have royalties embedded at the protocol level. This means NFT creators on RARI Chain don’t have to worry about marketplaces bypassing royalties — the chain itself enforces them. RARI Chain uses $RARI (Rarible’s token) and ETH for transactions, and because it’s EVM-equivalent, developers and artists can use familiar Ethereum tools. By introducing RARI Chain, Rarible created a playground specifically for creators’ needs — cheap minting, fast trading, and respect for royalties. It’s built using Arbitrum’s Orbit framework and the Caldera platform for custom chains. For users on Rarible, RARI Chain looks like just another network option — but it represents Rarible taking the multichain concept a step further by spinning up a dedicated chain for its community.
Aptos — Branching out beyond the Ethereum universe, Rarible now also supports Aptos, a new Layer-1 blockchain that emerged from former Facebook (Diem) engineers. Aptos uses the Move programming language and aims for high throughput and reliability. Rarible’s integration allows minting and trading NFTs on Aptos, using the APT token. This is noteworthy because Aptos is not EVM-based — Rarible is clearly willing to do the engineering to include promising ecosystems even if they’re not Ethereum-like. For creators, Aptos offers another canvas — often touted for its secure smart contracts and a growing user base. Now those NFTs can be displayed on Rarible alongside others, exposing Aptos projects to more collectors.
Tezos via Etherlink — You might be wondering, what happened to Rarible’s Tezos integration? Rarible did support Tezos directly, but by 2023 they shifted to an innovative solution called Etherlink (an EVM-compatible Layer-2 on Tezos) to continue that support. Etherlink essentially bridges Tezos and Ethereum: it’s built with Tezos’s rollup technology but behaves like an Ethereum-like network. On Rarible’s list, Etherlink appears as a supported chain with tokens ETRL, TEZOS, WXTZ, etc.. In practice, this means Rarible users can still access Tezos art NFTs and projects via Etherlink, enjoying Tezos’s low fees and sustainability, but using standard web3 wallets. In October 2024, Rarible even showcased an Etherlink NFT drop (BattleRise Founders Pass, a game item) to kick off the integration. It’s a clever way to keep Tezos in the family — effectively making Tezos NFTs available without leaving the Rarible platform or switching to a Tezos wallet. So Tezos fans, fear not: Rarible’s multichain approach hasn’t forgotten about you; it’s just using Etherlink as the bridge between worlds.
Other Networks and Partnerships — Rarible’s list goes on, reflecting a trulyagnostic approach:
Immutable X, zkSync, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Celo, Moonbeam (we covered these as part of the EVM crowd — all supported on Rarible).
Lisk — Yes, the old-school blockchain Lisk (known for its JavaScript focus) is supported on Rarible too. This one is a bit under the radar in the NFT world, but Rarible has it available, supporting LSK tokens and even wrapped ETH on Lisk.
Palm — Palm is an Ethereum sidechain specifically for NFTs (such as DC Comics’ projects). Rarible includes Palm, letting you trade Palm network NFTs (like those nifty DC Bat Cowls) with the PALM token.
Aleph Zero — Another newer L1, focusing on privacy and scalability, supported on Rarible (with AZERO token). This allows for NFTs on a privacy-enhanced chain to be within Rarible’s reach.
Shape & Abstract — These are creator-focused Ethereum-compatible networks (Shape even gives back “gas rebates” to creators as Gasback). Both are on Rarible’s roster, aligning with its theme of empowering creators.
Telos — An EOSIO-derived chain with an EVM layer, Telos (TLOS) support means the NFT projects on Telos (which offers fast, feeless transactions) can find a home on Rarible.
Kroma & Matchain — Kroma is an optimistic rollup (likely Korea-focused) and Matchain is a network that bridges BNB (Binance Coin) and Ethereum assets. By including these, Rarible has even the Binance-chain community indirectly involved (Matchain uses BNB for fees).
Goat Network — One of Rarible’s coolest recent additions is the Goat Network, which is bringing Bitcoin into the NFT arena! 🐐 How? Goat is described as a “sustainable BTC yield chain” — essentially an independent blockchain that uses BTC for its economy. In April 2025, Rarible announced full integration with Goat Network and launched a dedicated marketplace called GOATible. To mint Goat NFTs, you actually use BTC and a BTC-compatible wallet — the Goat Network acts as a layer that enables NFTs with Bitcoin’s security at the core. Rarible hosting Goat NFTs means Bitcoiners get to play in the NFT space more directly. Goat Network focuses on combining NFTs, DeFi, and staking for Bitcoin holders. By partnering with Goat, Rarible effectively tapped into Bitcoin ordinals/inscriptions territory, but in a more scalable way. This shows Rarible’s willingness to incorporate even non-traditional chains to truly be multichain. If you ever wanted to see Bitcoin-native NFTs in a user-friendly marketplace, Rarible makes it possible (with some bridging wizardry). The launch was celebrated with special “GOAT” NFT drops — a fun nod to greatness and a symbolic bridging of two historically separate communities (Bitcoin and NFTs).
Aggregation of Other Marketplaces — Beyond direct integrations, Rarible also acts as an aggregator, pulling in listings from other NFT marketplaces across multiple chains. For instance, Rarible’s aggregated marketplace added support for Tezos NFTs by pulling orders from Tezos-based platforms like Objkt. The same goes for Ethereum and Polygon: Rarible aggregates listings from sources like OpenSea, LooksRare, etc., to offer a one-stop view for users. This means on Rarible, you might see NFTs listed elsewhere and can purchase them via Rarible’s interface. By February 2023, Rarible had fully rolled out aggregation for Ethereum, Polygon, and Tezos, reinforcing its multichain, multi-source ethos. So not only does Rarible natively support a myriad of chains, it also bridges marketplaces — aiming to be a hub for all NFT activity, no matter where it originates.
Seamless User Experience: Perhaps the biggest significance is simplification. Instead of juggling multiple accounts on different NFT sites for different chains, creators and collectors can manage everything in one place. OpenSea’s interface, for instance, lets you toggle networks and even do cross-chain swaps in one session. Rarible’s aggregator pulls it all together for you. This convenience lowers the barrier for newcomers to explore beyond one chain. A new collector on OpenSea might start with Ethereum NFTs and, thanks to the easy UI, find themselves picking up a Polygon NFT and a Flow NFT on the same day — something that would have required three separate marketplaces before. Multichain support is making the NFT world more interconnected and user-friendly.
Avalanche — A popular independent Layer-1, Avalanche got OpenSea support as well. Avalanche’s C-Chain (Contract Chain) is EVM-compatible and runs on a speedy proof-of-stake network known for finance and gaming DApps. OpenSea added Avalanche so users could mint and trade on one of the fastest-growing alt-chains. The native token AVAX is used for fees. Avalanche brings high throughput and short block times, attracting projects that need quick finality. On OpenSea, Avalanche NFTs (on the C-Chain) benefit from this efficiency — and creators benefit from lower fees than Ethereum while still tapping into a vibrant community. By integrating Avalanche, OpenSea signaled that even non-Ethereum-origin networks with their own ecosystems are part of its multichain vision.
Other Rising Chains — OpenSea didn’t stop there; it’s casting a wide net across the blockchain world. The platform now supports a smorgasbord of newer networks — some major, some experimental — to leave no NFT community behind. A few notable mentions:
Base — Coinbase’s Ethereum L2, launched in 2023, built with the OP Stack for scalability. Base offers low-cost minting and a big name (Coinbase) backing it. OpenSea embraced Base early, making it a home for many new NFT drops.
Zora Network — An NFT-centric Layer 2 powered by Optimism tech, geared towards on-chain media and art. Zora’s marketplace roots and creator focus made it a natural addition — perfect for on-chain artists looking for Ethereum security without the cost.
Ronin — A sidechain for Axie Infinity’s ecosystem, Ronin uses RON tokens and is optimized for gaming NFTs. OpenSea added Ronin so Axie and other game assets could be traded alongside other NFTs, bridging the gap between a specialized gaming chain and the wider NFT market.
Flow — Dapper Labs’ blockchain (famous for NBA Top Shot) that isn’t EVM-based — surprisingly, OpenSea has made Flow EVM-equivalent and compatible with MetaMask via a custom script. This means OpenSea users can buy Flow NFTs by treating Flow almost like an Ethereum-like chain. Flow’s native token FLOW is used for purchases, so you can snag a Flow NFT on OpenSea even if you don’t have a Flow-native wallet.
ApeChain — Yes, this is real! 🦍 ApeChain is an Arbitrum Orbit chain (essentially a custom Layer-3 running on Arbitrum’s infrastructure) dedicated to the ApeCoin ecosystem. Its native $APE token is used for gas. By supporting ApeChain, OpenSea shows it’s open to community-driven micro-chains too — perfect for specialized NFT experiences where Apes rule.
Others… OpenSea’s list goes on: Blast (an Ethereum L2), Sei (a fast new L1 optimized for trading), B3 (a gaming Layer-3 on Base), Berachain (an upcoming DeFi-friendly L1 using a novel consensus), Soneium (a creator-focused Ethereum L2), Shape (an EVM chain with a “gasback” rewards twist for creators), Unichain (Uniswap Labs’ own ultra-fast L2), Abstract (a zkSync-powered L2 for consumers), and more. It’s a dizzying range of blockchains, but that’s the point — OpenSea wants to be everywhere NFTs live. From big players to quirky newcomers, OpenSea is integrating with “virtually every token” network it can. This multichain push even allows cross-chain actions like buying an NFT on one chain with a currency from another, making the experience seamless. The result? OpenSea has transformed into a one-stop shop across 19+ networks, so you can explore NFTs on Ethereum one minute and, in a few clicks, discover a hidden gem on some brand-new chain the next.
Solana — When Solana NFTs surged in popularity, Rarible was quick to hop on board. In July 2022, Rarible integrated Solana blockchain NFTs with a bang — even offering 0% trading fees for the first month to attract Solana traders. By doing so, Rarible welcomed communities from projects like Degenerate Apes and DeGods, which were big on Solana. The integration used the Metaplex protocol (the standard for Solana NFTs), and allowed trading using SOL. With Solana’s incredible speed (sub-second finality) and near-zero fees, Rarible provided creators an alternative to Ethereum without leaving the platform. This came just after OpenSea’s debut of Solana support, signaling a multichain race to include the hottest chains. Now, both OpenSea and Rarible have Solana in their repertoire, giving NFT creators maximum exposure across chains.
Immutable X — Rarible supports Immutable X (IMX), a Layer-2 scaling solution specifically built for NFTs and blockchain games. Immutable X uses zk-rollup tech to enable gas-free minting and trading — a huge boon for games that have thousands of low-cost assets. By integrating IMX, Rarible became a marketplace for gaming NFTs like Gods Unchained cards and others that live on Immutable’s network. IMX is the token used for fees and staking. For Rarible users, it means you can trade high-volume, low-cost items (like game collectibles) without worrying about gas, all within the familiar Rarible interface. It’s a sign of Rarible’s commitment to the NFT gaming sector.
zkSync Era — As zero-knowledge rollups gained traction, Rarible integrated zkSync Era, another Ethereum Layer-2 that uses ZK tech for speedy, secure transactions. zkSync Era allows NFTs to be minted and transferred with Ethereum-level security but far cheaper fees (paid in ETH or tokens). Rarible’s support of zkSync means it’s keeping up with the latest scaling innovations — giving creators yet another option for cost-effective minting. If you want to experiment with cutting-edge Layer-2’s for your NFTs, Rarible has you covered with zkSync Era support.
