# Social Curation Protocol

Pronounced ‘rah rah!’ like a cheer, the goal of RARA’s protocol is to give a voice to a world of curators.

RARA is a protocol for adding social commentary to Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). The goal of the protocol is to:

* Enable cross-platform commentary for NFTs,
* Reward the curation of NFTs with free collectibles, and
* Prioritize user's likes and preferences for NFT discovery.&#x20;

Powered by NFT-backed "reactions", the protocol enables anyone to react, comment, or tag NFTs.
