“It is exciting to see NFT technology bringing fans closer to sports, giving them an opportunity to treasure their favourite moments. The team at Rario was committed to building a cricket community using technology. I am therefore happy to partner with the team, to launch my digital collectibles exclusively on the Rario platform,” said Sachin Tendulkar.
RARIO was established with the sole purpose of democratising fandom. Even though they live in a world where mobile devices are the norm and all interactions are basically digital.
“Rario is committed to sustainability. With this objective, we moved our infrastructure to Proof-of-Authority Rario Chain, which translates to greater environmental friendliness and a significantly lower carbon footprint,” said Sunny Bhanot, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Rario.
