Frequently Asked Questions

Rankings Explained

Note: Rankings should not be taken as financial advice. Consider these rankings as fun trivia about a collection as opposed to a recommendation to acquire (or not acquire) a particular NFT.

What are rankings?

See this Medium article from rarity.tools for a great explanation of rarity and different ways of calculating it. Farmers Market displays different types of rankings for each project, namely:

• Creator defined rankings
• Rankings based on metadata traits (not necessarily related to rarity)
• Statistical rarity
• Rarity Score
• Combination of above

How are rankings calculated?

Although rarity is an objective measure (based on either theoretical or empirical trait probabilities), there will always be subjectivity in how it’s calculated. For example, should mutually exclusive traits be combined? Should traits that don’t affect the visual representation of the NFT be included? Should all traits be weighted equally or should more visible ones be weighted more? If so, how much more?

General heuristics for ranking calculations done by Farmers Market include:

• Only clearly visible traits are considered.
• All traits are weighted equally.
• Some metadata may be manually “fixed” if it didn’t affect the visuals
  Example: Grouping trait values “unknownRPM” and “unknowRPM” together since the resulting visual is identical.
• Traits may be grouped if they are mutually exclusive
  Example: If an NFT cannot have both a “helmet” and a “hair” trait, this may be grouped into one trait.
• The ranking should be roughly reproducible given reasonable assumptions above, and including any unique properties of the collection (e.g. unique hand designed NFTs added outside of the random generation process).

If a creator has supplied a ranking list, that will be used and indicated as such.

Will rankings change over time?

Yes but unlikely. Rankings are primarily based on the collection metadata which cannot change over time. However rankings may be updated as new information comes to light, like if it is discovered that some NFTs were uniquely designed or if there was a mistake or improvement identified in the trait probability calculations in applying the heuristics above.

Additional types of rankings may be added in the future.

Are rare NFTs worth more?

Not necessarily. Rarity (or rankings) is not the same as desirability although there may be correlation. For example in the Hardi Bois collection, some traits like a epwt fractal background and antlers may be popular in the community, so an NFT containing both of these can be highly desirable though the combinations of individual traits are not particularly rare.

Another example is an NFT with 5 uncommon traits could be mathematically rarer than an NFT with 4 common traits and 1 super rare trait and thus have a higher rarity rank. If that super rare trait is highly visible in the image and desirable in the community, the lower rank NFT could command a higher value on secondary markets.

At the end of the day, art is subjective. So I'd say just get what you like.

Will you publish a desirability ranking?

Maybe one day. As more sales data becomes available over time I plan on doing analyses on larger projects to dissect which traits are the most popular and maybe even look at a predictive model for NFT and trait value.
