Getting started on SuperRare

Make one work available to more collectors.

  • Fixed supply
  • Direct edition sales
  • Card or crypto on eligible releases
  • Unified marketplace discovery
  • Artist profile and collection placement

Edition pricing

Set by the artist

Pricing is shown when the Edition is listed, alongside its artwork page and artist collection placement.

Eligible card checkout

USDC fixed price

Card checkout can appear on eligible USDC fixed-price Editions. Crypto checkout remains available.

Current artwork with an editorial interface treatment. Live supply, availability, and pricing depend on the release.

Liquid Editions

One artwork. A living market.

Liquid Editions pair a fixed supply with an always-on market, giving collectors a more adjustable way to participate over time. Collectors can buy or sell 24/7, without waiting for an individual resale listing.

The point of liquidity is not to make art more speculative. It is to make collecting less brittle.

Collect what you love, with more room to change your mind. Liquid Editions let collectors buy, sell, and return over time, so each purchase can feel less like a final decision.

Welcome collector participation at different scales.

Keep collecting active beyond the initial launch.

Make supply, holders, pricing, and activity visible.

Stay discoverable alongside the rest of SuperRare.

Run an auction, receive live bids, and bring artists and collectors into the same conversation while the work is on the block.

Easier collector onboarding

Your audience no longer needs to start with a crypto wallet.

Collectors can sign in with Google, email, or supported social accounts and receive an embedded wallet. Eligible fixed-price work can be purchased by credit card, while crypto-native collectors can continue to use crypto, auctions, and offers.

  1. 01

    Sign in

    Use Google, email, or a supported social account—or connect an existing wallet.

  2. 02

    Choose how to pay

    Choose credit card on eligible USDC fixed-price work, or continue with crypto.

  3. 03

    Collect

    The work is collected into an embedded smart wallet or an existing connected wallet.

Credit-card checkout is available on eligible USDC fixed-price purchases from approximately $11 to under $5,000.

Managed Print

Physical work

Let the work live beyond the screen.

Pair digital work with a physical object, or work with SuperRare on a supported print release where we take care of production, distribution, and shipping.

Path one

Physical Included

Approved creators can add physical details and media to an eligible minted artwork directly from its artwork page.

  • Mark the listing as including a physical item after minting.
  • Add format, medium, dimensions, shipping details, notes, and supporting media.
  • Coordinate production, shipping, delivery, condition, and collector communication directly.
Learn how to add physical details

Path two

Managed Print Service

For supported print editions, SuperRare manages the release workflow from collector delivery details through production, distribution, and shipping.

  • Available for supported print formats.
  • Planned release by release.
  • Designed to remove the last-mile operational burden from the artist.
  • Collector delivery details are collected as part of the configured purchase experience.
Artist Application

Books, sculptures, installations, and custom objects use the broader physical-release path, not the managed print service.

Discovery

More ways for the right collectors to find you.

SuperRare brings unique artworks, Editions, and Liquid Editions into one collector marketplace, supported by richer search, filtering, profiles, feeds, related artwork, and curated storytelling.

Your work can appear across marketplace, profile, collection, related-art, homepage, and editorial discovery surfaces. Placement, coverage, ranking, promotion, and sales are never guaranteed.
