NFTs have created an entirely new asset class for digital art and collectibles, but much of the value derived from digital art depends on the proven rarity of the NFT. SuperRare items are intended to be unique, meaning that there should only ever be one digital token or asset for a given work of art.

Blockchain makes it possible to verifiably prove the provenance and authenticity of digital art like never before, but there are currently no deployed technological mechanisms or standards to prevent Artists from minting identical NFTs and selling them without the original Collector’s knowledge.

In order to ensure the rarity of each SuperRare item, our Terms of Service provide that minting a work on the Platform constitutes an express representation, warranty, and covenant that the Artist has not, will not, and will not cause another to mint, tokenize, sell, or offer for sale another digital collectible, asset, or product for the same underlying work.

Reputation plays an important role in the art world. A solid reputation can turn a simple “Red” pixel into valuable work of art, but a poor reputation can create uncertainty and concern as to the value or credibility of a particular Artist’s works.

Reputation acts as a signal to art collectors, but also as an enforcement mechanism to discourage infringement and duplicative minting of SuperRare items. If you mint duplicative works beyond the number of editions promised (SuperRare only currently supports single editions), the market will notice.

If you consistently mint unoriginal content with a tenuous or non-existent “fair use” defense, the market will notice. Indeed, blockchain technology has enabled the market to notice these things better than ever before. In short, add value to your creative portfolio and to the SuperRare community by protecting your reputation through compliance with these Guidelines and Policies.

SuperRare Labs respects the intellectual property rights of others. It is our policy to respond promptly any claim that content posted on the site infringes the copyright or other intellectual property rights of any person.

SuperRare has the unilateral authority and discretion to remove, suspend, or revoke Artists’ access to the SuperRare platform for posting unoriginal content, whether or not a credible “fair use” defense exists.
