Rarible Solana marketplace live: Claynosaurz first featured

Rarible opened its Solana NFT marketplace on August 6, 2026, with Claynosaurz as the first featured collection. Six days later the marketplace is live for Solana listings and bids. If you already trade Solana collectibles on Magic Eden, this is another marketplace on the same chain, not a new mint. Check fees and royalties on the live collection page before you move listings.

Background

Rarible is a multi-chain NFT marketplace. Solana already hosts frequent collectible trading and gaming-adjacent PFPs. Magic Eden is the catalog marketplace most collectors already use for Solana inventory. OpenSea is another multi-chain marketplace in the catalog.

Claynosaurz is a Solana entertainment PFP line of animated dinosaur characters. Crypto Briefing⁠ (opens in new tab) puts the set at 10,000 pieces and dates the mint to November 2022. Featuring it first signals an existing collector base. It is not a price forecast.

What happened

Marketplace live on August 6

On August 6, 2026, Rarible posted on X⁠ (opens in new tab) that the marketplace is live on Solana after months of build and testing, kicking off with Claynosaurz as the first featured collection. The same wording appears in Rarible’s LinkedIn launch post⁠ (opens in new tab). crypto.news⁠ (opens in new tab) and Crypto Briefing⁠ (opens in new tab) covered the same-day announce.

What Rarible said in those surfaces:

• The Solana marketplace is live.
• Claynosaurz is the first featured Solana collection.
• More Solana collections will follow over the coming days and weeks; the launch is framed as a foundation, not a finished catalog.
• The team wants collection-specific experiences, not only a generic listing grid, after talking with Solana NFT communities during prep.
• Product navigation includes Solana Explore, Mint, and Gacha surfaces alongside other supported chains (The Defiant⁠ (opens in new tab)).

The live Solana hub is rarible.com/solana⁠ (opens in new tab). Rarible did not name the next onboardings or publish volume targets in these sources.

RARI DAO step on July 31

Solana Compass⁠ (opens in new tab) reports that on July 31, 2026, Rarible framed a RARI DAO community vote as the green light for the Solana return. The quoted X line: development, integrations, and security audits start now, with a four-week target. The consumer marketplace then shipped on August 6, about six days later, ahead of that stated window (Solana Compass launch wrap⁠ (opens in new tab)).

Gacha Station came first

Rarible had already shipped Gacha Station on Solana earlier in 2026: randomized digital packs, separate from the full consumer NFT marketplace. crypto.news⁠ (opens in new tab) and Crypto Briefing⁠ (opens in new tab) say the team cast that product as an early look at the broader Solana stack, not a one-off experiment.

Royalties on this marketplace

Solana Compass⁠ (opens in new tab) summarizes press framing that Rarible expects creator royalties on secondary sales on its marketplace (escrow-style rules), in contrast to optional royalties common on other Solana marketplaces after earlier fee wars. Treat that as Rarible checkout policy, not a Solana-wide rule. Fees you pay still depend on where you trade. Always read the live royalty line before you bid or list.

Who it affects

Collectors

You can browse and trade Solana inventory on Rarible without bridging to Ethereum. Claynosaurz holders get another discovery and listing surface. Compare fees, royalties, and bid depth with Magic Eden before consolidating listings on one marketplace. A featured slot is not a floor signal.

Creators and studios on Solana

A new multi-chain brand marketplace can matter if you care about enforced royalties on that checkout or curated collection pages. Liquidity still sits where traders already bid. Timing for unnamed next collections is unpublished.

Players

This is not a new playable game drop. It matters when your Solana PFPs or game-adjacent collectibles sit in a wallet and you sell, buy, or list them. In-game utility still follows the title’s inventory rules, not the marketplace logo.

What to watch next

• Which Solana collections Rarible names after Claynosaurz
• Live royalty and fee lines on Rarible checkout versus Magic Eden for the same contract
• Whether gaming inventories (not only PFPs) get curated Solana pages
• Official Rarible help or status posts if Solana tooling or metadata pipelines change

Bottom line: If you hold Claynosaurz or other Solana NFTs, open rarible.com/solana⁠ (opens in new tab) and compare the live fee and royalty line against Magic Eden before you migrate listings. Do not treat a featured slot as a price signal.
