OpenSea implements an innovative procedure that ranks NFT rarity

The OpenRarity project was a collaborative project between various NFT community entities, including Curio, icy. tools, OpenSea, and Proof.

With thousands of nonfungible tokens (NFTs) getting minted every day, trying to find rare pieces can be a challenge for NFT collectors. Though, as the industry continues to progress, the irritations in finding rare NFTs may soon become a thing of the past.

In a tweet, NFT marketplace OpenSea declared the implementation of OpenRarity, a protocol that offers verifiable rarity calculations for NFTs within its platform. The protocol uses a transparent mathematical method to calculating rarity.

OpenSea said that rare NFTs will be awarded lower numbers like 1 or 2, while NFTs that have features similar to many other NFTs will have higher numbers. With this, the marketplace highlighted that buyers would be able to view a reliable “rarity ranking” when considering purchasing NFTs.

The feature will not be inevitably applied to all NFT collections. According to the NFT marketplace, creators will still have control if they want to choose to apply the OpenRarity feature to their collections or not.

The OpenRarity project was a collective effort between various NFT community entities, including Curio, icy. tools, OpenSea, and Proof. The goal is to standardize the shortage methodology and provide consistent rarity rankings across all NFT platforms.

The NFT marketplace newly launched an initiative that lets creators make their own NFT drop pages that they can customize with images, videos, and highlights. With this, creators can share information about the NFT drop, like the minting schedule and a gallery. Besides, creators can also add a countdown clock and allow collectors to receive email notifications to remind them of the mint.

For the meantime, a report printed by blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis highlighted that NFTs are the largest driver in crypto adoption in the Central, Southern Asia and Oceania (CSAO) region. According to the report, 58% of web traffic to crypto services is NFT-related.
