# Community-Based NFT Auction Platforms RARA.social Introduces New 'Like-To-Earn' Crypto Experience By Niko Pajkovic | Published 2021-08-25 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rarasocial References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/rarasocial-launches-new-app-for-social-nft-auctions-301357750.html) & [rara.social](https://rara.social/) RARA.social, a brand new 'like-to-earn' social crypto platform, has launched an app to enable online communities to hold 'Social NFT Auctions.' Currently, the platform consists of over 40 different communities that host auctions on popular messaging apps [Discord](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/readyup-app) and [Telegram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/telegram-channel-analyzer). Unlike other NFT marketplaces, RARA creates a space where fans can react to [NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rarible), influencing their curation and value without necessarily having to purchase them. The app itself intends to amplify the social activity around its 'Social NFT Auctions' by making them major collaborative events that connect creators, fans, and artists. "The best thing about RARA is the way it lets both collectors and artists hang out together and have a little party while the auction is going on. It feels way more alive," said cryptoPOM1, an NFT creator and RARA user.
