Rario is a digital collectible platform for cricket fans to collect and trade officially licensed cricket moments on the blockchain, represented as a non-fungible token (NFT).

Having Polygon Studios and Animoca as partners, Rario is built on the Polygon Network by a top-notch team of Indian founders and backed by reputed investors such as Kingsway Capital and Presight Capital.

Rario enables fans to engage as a community and invest in tangible sporting moments. It gives the fan the opportunity to 'own' a piece of sport history.

Rario - what screams more Indian sport than cricket? The platform has had high success in the NFT sports section, where it introduced many exquisite collections of cricket-based NFTs to the world.

The marketplace has an exciting collection of best moments from the matches, and trading cards equivalent NFT punks of the cricket stars with unique attributes and utilities.

Crypto Baristas are digitally hand-drawn characters whose purchase will help back the world’s first NFT funded café in New York City. Owners of a Crypto Barista NFT will enjoy caffeinated perks for life at all future cafe spaces. Other incentives include:

Governance over the café roadmap and Barista Bank

First dibs on the Season 2 releases

Voting power on future characters and project direction

Crypto Barista’s Season 1 will launch with 60 caffeine-loving characters whose ownership helps conceptualize and open the World’s First NFT funded Café.

Owners of a Crypto Barista enjoy caffeinated perks for life at all future cafe spaces and websites. Owners also control the “Barista Bank,” a 15% fund set aside from the project’s revenue for future use in the coffee space. Some potential uses for the Barista Bank can support charitable organizations in the coffee space, advance the Crypto Barista project, or start something new.

“The goal of Crypto Barista’s is to build a community of like-minded individuals that appreciate art, caffeine, entrepreneurship, and innovation. The project’s ambition is to initially open a physical space in NYC where art and innovation are at the forefront. The future of Crypto Baristas beyond that will be up to the holders and followers of our campaign.”

The Coffee Bros. Crypto Barista project looks to solve the three sometimes lacking pieces in many NFT projects, governance, community, and ownership. The project will evolve through Seasonal launches, where each season focuses on a new endeavor within the coffee space while providing perks and governance to all holders.
