Product updates
Protocol (Upcoming):
The team is working on aggregating the orders from other marketplaces. This includes aggregating the CryptoPunks marketplace and the orders from Opensea. This will open up a lot of orders for matching from the protocol side. Additionally, the team is working on enabling the bidding on an entire collection (e.g. I want to buy any Punk at 100 ETH).
These upcoming features aim to enable larger NFT liquidity across the protocol and ecosystem.

ARTICLE: How to mint a 10,000 item generative art NFT collection with 21 lines of JavaScript by Skogard
Have you ever wondered how generative NFT collections are created? Or would you like to create your own? Skogard developed Rarepress, an SDK for the Rarible Protocol, which makes this exercise easier than ever. In this tutorial, Skogard shows us how to create a 10,000 item collection in a matter of minutes.
Project updates
Rarible.com
In the last few weeks the Rarible.com team has been focusing on improving the access and visibility of collections. The top collections have now been moved to the top of the page. Furthermore, you can now track the activity per collection, not just per user.
The team improved the quality of the search by removing duplicates and updating the priority of verified collections. Soon we will also be able to search for aliases of a collection (e.g. BYAC instead of bored apes).
If you don’t have enough money in your wallet, you can now easily top up your balance using apple pay (up to 500$ without KYC).
