What RMRK does

RMRK is a blockchain infrastructure company that develops and maintains open-source Modular NFT standards for EVM-compatible (Ethereum, Base, Moonbeam, Polygon, BSC) and Substrate-based (Kusama, Polkadot) networks. Its seven finalized ERCs (ERC-5773 Multi-Asset, ERC-7401/6059 Nestable, ERC-6220 Equippable, ERC-7409 Emotable, ERC-6454 Soulbound, ERC-7508 On-chain Attributes, ERC-7590 ERC-20 Holder) extend the ERC-721 baseline with composability features such as NFTs that can own other NFTs, equip items across collections, react with on-chain emojis, and be bound to wallets or other NFTs. The team of approximately 20 people, founded by Bruno Škvorc in 2020 in Zug, Switzerland, operates a product ecosystem anchored on the Singular marketplace, the Kanaria flagship NFT collection (with the Skybreach metaverse), and developer tooling including Mintaur (no-code minting), Emotes.app, RMRK Wizard (custom contract deployment), and Renderer (NFT image rendering).

RMRK monetizes primarily through Singular marketplace commissions and an optional pay-gated Renderer subscription, while the $RMRK token (10 million fixed supply, 88% fair-dropped to the community) functions as governance and ecosystem currency. The company raised $6 million in June 2021 from a syndicate including Syntax Capital, D1 Ventures, DFG, PAKA, Sanctor, Tykhe Ventures, and YBB Foundation, and has since consolidated token operations onto Base as its single home chain. Customer and partner adoption consists of roughly 20 startup-stage projects in the gaming, NFT, and infrastructure verticals (Evrloot, PhalaWorld, InvArch, Zeitgeist, Skybreach, BitBob, and others).

The company experienced a material security incident in January 2026 in which approximately 1.2 million RMRK (roughly 12% of total supply) was drained from a hot wallet; user wallets and token contracts were not affected, and the team subsequently restructured treasury controls around hardware-signer multisigs.

Core offering

RMRK develops open-source Modular NFT standards (a suite of ERCs including Multi-Asset, Nestable, Composable/Equippable, Emotable, Soulbound, On-chain Attributes, and ERC-20 Holder) that enable programmable and composable NFTs across EVM and Substrate chains. Around these standards, RMRK operates the Singular NFT marketplace, no-code utility dApps (Mintaur, Emotes.app, Wizard, Renderer, Kinzoku), the cross-chain RMRK Token Manager bridge, and its own Kanaria NFT collection with the Skybreach decentralized metaverse.

Product overview

RMRK is a next-generation NFT protocol providing open-source Modular NFT standards for EVM and Substrate chains. The ecosystem comprises the Singular marketplace for trading advanced NFTs, the Kanaria flagship NFT collection with its Skybreach metaverse, and utility dApps including Mintaur (multi-asset minting), Emotes.app (on-chain reactions), Wizard (smart contract deployment), and Renderer (NFT image rendering). The standards enable NFTs to own other NFTs (nesting), have multiple assets (multi-asset), equip/unequip items, accept emojis, and be soulbound. Total supply is 10 million RMRK tokens distributed across Ethereum, Polygon, Base, BNB Chain, and Moonbeam.

RMRK competitors and assessment

Company assessment

Direct peers

thirdweb: thirdweb is a developer platform providing no-code/contract deployment, minting, and infrastructure for NFTs, tokens, and marketplaces—directly mirroring RMRK's Mintaur, Wizard, and Singular offerings across EVM chains.
Manifold: Manifold offers no-code NFT minting, contracts (ERC-721 extensions), and a creator-focused marketplace—just like RMRK's Mintaur/Wizard and Singular stack—serving the same creator-and-developer audience on Ethereum and major L2s.
Zora: Zora operates an open NFT marketplace and protocol infrastructure for creators and developers, comparable to RMRK's Singular marketplace and modular standards approach targeting the creator/developer segment.
Reservoir: Reservoir provides NFT infrastructure (indexing, APIs, marketplace tooling) that developers integrate to support NFT minting/trading—comparable to RMRK's protocol-layer standards and developer tools.
Magic Eden: Magic Eden is a multi-chain NFT marketplace with creator tools and launchpads, directly comparable to RMRK's Singular marketplace and its cross-chain (Base/Ethereum/Polygon) presence.
Rarible: Rarible runs a multi-chain NFT marketplace with no-code minting and aggregation—analogous to RMRK's Singular marketplace and Mintaur minting tool, both serving creators on Ethereum and other EVM chains.
Unique Network: Unique Network is a Substrate-based NFT chain building advanced NFT standards in partnership with RMRK—most directly comparable as a Polkadot/Kusama NFT infrastructure peer.

Broad incumbents

OpenSea: OpenSea is the largest general NFT marketplace, offering broader multi-category trading alongside creator tools; overlaps RMRK's marketplace and standards-driven NFT use cases at much larger scale.
Blur: Blur is a high-volume NFT marketplace/aggregator dominant in pro trading—competes with RMRK's Singular for liquidity on Ethereum L1 and represents the marketplace incumbent in RMRK's addressable segment.

Emerging players

Lens Protocol: Lens Protocol is an open social graph with NFT profiles (follower NFTs, soulbound-style primitives), partially overlapping RMRK's soulbound (ERC-6454) and on-chain attribute (ERC-7508) use cases for on-chain identity.
