RareCanvas Marketplace — Frequently Asked Questions

An NFT (Non-Fungible Token) is a unique digital asset stored on the blockchain. It represents ownership of specific digital items such as artwork, music, videos, collectibles, and virtual goods. Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, NFTs are not interchangeable — each one is distinct and verifiable on-chain.

Unlike traditional NFT platforms, RareCanvas does not require wallet integration. Instead, users manually send the required gas fee to a designated Gas Fee Wallet. Once the gas fee is received, RareCanvas's system automatically deducts it and processes your request to buy, sell, or mint NFTs.

Step 1: Browse the NFT listings on the RareCanvas Marketplace.
Step 2: Click on the NFT you wish to purchase and follow the on-screen instructions.
Step 3: The system automatically deducts the money from your wallet sent to the address provided.
Step 4: After confirmation, RareCanvas automatically processes your transaction and transfers the NFT to your wallet address.

Step 1: List your NFT with your preferred price.
Step 2: Once a buyer initiates a purchase, the RareCanvas system deducts the required amount of money automatically from the buyer and sends it to your wallet when you approve the purchase offer.
Step 3: Upon receipt of the fee, the system will process the transaction and transfer the NFT to the buyer.
Step 4: You'll receive the sale amount directly to your wallet.

Step 1: Go to the Create NFT page.
Step 2: Upload your file (art, music, video, etc.) and enter the required metadata, including title, description, and tags.
Step 3: You'll be shown the required gas fee and the Gas Fee Wallet address.
Step 4: Manually send the required fee from your wallet.
Step 5: Once the fee is received, your NFT will be minted on the blockchain and added to your collection.

Since RareCanvas doesn't require wallet connection, you can use any wallet that supports Ethereum or compatible blockchains and allows manual transfers, such as MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, Crypto.com Wallet, Ledger and other hardware wallets, and other compatible Ethereum wallets.

Gas fees are the costs required to execute transactions on the blockchain (e.g., minting, transferring, or buying NFTs). On RareCanvas, we do not auto-deduct gas fees from your wallet. You must manually send the specified gas amount to our Gas Fee Wallet. This gives you full control and transparency over your spending.

When performing any action (buy, mint, or sell), the Gas Fee Wallet address and the amount required will be displayed on the screen. You will copy that address and send the exact amount from your wallet. Important: Always double-check the wallet address before sending funds to avoid loss.

Yes. RareCanvas charges a small marketplace fee on successful sales and mints. The fee percentage will be clearly displayed during the transaction process. These fees help support platform development, artist tools, and ongoing ecosystem growth.

No. All transactions on RareCanvas are processed on-chain and are irreversible. Once a transaction is completed and confirmed on the blockchain, it cannot be canceled or refunded. Please ensure all transaction details are accurate before sending your gas fee.

Yes! When listing your NFT for sale, you can choose between Fixed Price (buyers can purchase your NFT immediately at the listed price) or Auction (buyers place bids, and the highest bid at the end of the auction wins).

Yes. RareCanvas is built with security in mind. However, because users manage their own wallets and manually send gas fees, it's important to follow these best practices: never share your private keys or seed phrases, only send gas fees to wallet addresses shown on RareCanvas's official platform, double-check wallet addresses before transferring any funds, and enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on your personal crypto accounts whenever possible.

RareCanvas is open to all creators. Unlike invite-only platforms like SuperRare or Foundation, we welcome new artists and collectors from around the world. You don't need an invitation to mint or sell your NFTs — just follow the manual gas fee process.

RareCanvas currently supports minting and transactions on Ethereum. We are also exploring support for additional EVM-compatible networks, including Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism. Stay tuned for updates on future multi-chain functionality.

If you send an incorrect gas amount, your transaction may fail or remain unprocessed. If you overpaid, please contact RareCanvas Support and provide your transaction hash for assistance. If you underpaid, you'll need to send the remaining balance before your transaction can be processed.

You can contact RareCanvas Support in two ways: Live Chat — use the chat icon located at the bottom-right corner of any page on RareCanvas to connect with a support agent immediately; or Email — support@rarecanvas.io.

By design, NFTs on public blockchains like Ethereum are usually transferable to any wallet because blockchain rules allow owners to send tokens freely. However, RareCanvas has chosen to restrict NFT transfers outside the platform for important reasons: (1) Regulatory Compliance — RareCanvas follows global standards, including Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements; restricting transfers helps ensure compliance and minimizes legal and regulatory risks. (2) Fraud Prevention and Security — transfers are limited to reduce the risks of fraud, counterfeit assets, and malicious exploitation; RareCanvas verifies each NFT's authenticity and ownership before transactions are processed. (3) Platform Policies and User Experience — keeping all NFT transactions within its ecosystem helps prevent market manipulation, reduce rapid reselling ("flipping"), ensure creators always receive their royalties on every eligible transaction, and maintain a trusted marketplace experience. In summary: while NFTs are generally transferable on public blockchains, RareCanvas intentionally restricts external transfers to prioritize compliance, security, marketplace integrity, and guaranteed royalty enforcement within its trusted ecosystem.

Yes. RareCanvas supports creator royalties. When you mint your NFT, RareCanvas automatically assigns a 10% royalty to the asset. You will receive this royalty on all future eligible secondary sales. These royalties are enforced on-chain.

You can mint a wide variety of digital content, including digital art (images, illustrations, generative art), music and audio files, short videos and animations, virtual goods (game assets, wearables, etc.), photography, and written works. Please ensure your content does not violate copyright laws or RareCanvas's Terms of Service.

Yes! Once you've purchased an NFT on RareCanvas, it becomes your property. You can re-list it for resale using your preferred price or auction terms. The buyer will again manually send the required gas fee before the sale is processed.
