RARI Chain and Espresso Launch The Composables NFT, Drive $10M TVL with Staking & DAO Upgrades

Published: 2025-06-20 13:24:11 |

RARI Chain has partnered with Espresso Systems to launch “The Composables,” a 5,000-piece PFP NFT collection on the Espresso mainnet. Minting sold out instantly, pushing RARI Chain’s total value locked (TVL) past $10 million and generating over 500 ETH in secondary sales. This collaboration marks RARI Chain’s status as the first Arbitrum Orbit chain integrated with Espresso rollup infrastructure, leveraging enhanced composability and security. Simultaneously, the RARI Foundation unveiled new staking and DAO governance features. $RARI holders can now stake tokens, delegate votes and earn rewards from a $50,000 pool split over three seasons. Early stakers gain bonus incentives, while a $10,000 leaderboard rewards top participants. The upgrade places all protocol contracts under community control, shares sequencer revenue between the DAO and the Foundation, and establishes a Security Council for emergency actions and technical improvements. To boost engagement, RARI Foundation launches a month-long quest system (June 18–July 2). Participants complete on-chain tasks to earn leaderboard prizes and have a chance to receive an Espresso Composables NFT. Continued staking unlocks a limited-edition drop by artist Amber Vittoria on July 10. These steps aim to reawaken RARI DAO governance and reinforce RARI Chain as a hub for next-generation NFTs and cross-chain experiences.

Bullish

The partnership between RARI Chain and Espresso, coupled with a record-selling NFT mint and $10 million TVL surge, signals strong ecosystem growth. Introduction of staking and on-chain governance rewards enhances token utility and community engagement, often leading to increased demand and positive price momentum. Historical parallels include similar bullish responses when NFT platforms integrated layer-2 composability and launched lucrative staking rewards, as seen with Optimism NFT projects in late 2023. In the short term, traders may see heightened buying interest in RARI to participate in staking and governance; long term, sustained TVL growth and active DAO governance could underpin stable price appreciation as RARI Chain cements its position in the NFT and cross-chain infrastructure space.
