Curated Auctions Beta Testing
The last few weeks RARA started testing a Curated Auctions feature. The idea? Give the best NFT curators to tools to amplify the NFT auctions that actually matter.
Step 1: Connect top NFT curators with fans around the coolest NFT auctions.
Step 2: Incentivize curators + fans to decentralize curation.
Step 3: Plug in all auction from third party platforms. OpenSea almost done. Foundation in testing. Zora coming soon.
Keep reading the tweet string below to learn how curated auctions will work.

Last Week on the 🌐 Internet
Oct 4th // Dapper acquires creator of Lil Miquela
Dapper Labs, creator of Flow blockchain and CryptoKitties, acquired the creative agency, Brud.fyi. Founded by Trevor McFedries, Brud’s team created and powers the stories of Lil Miquela, a digital first and only* influencer.
*As Trevor notes, Lil Miquela and her story is a figment of Brud’s imagination.
Looking at how big Lil Miquela is now and the rise of Trevor’s other creation, a DAO called FWB that recently received $10M from a16z, it’s clear this acquisition is a bread crumb of what’s to come.
“[T]his could also be a way for legacy projects to effectively ‘exit’ to the community—to transform from a traditional (or Web2) way of corporate thinking to a decentralized, collectively owned approach.”
Give it a 🔊 play
Our friends at Seed 🌱 Club launched a new podcast with Aaron Wright, the co-founder of a DAO incubator of sorts including the LAO, FlamingoDAO 🦩, and more. Listen 🎧 here.
