Collection

Collection: Grouped NFT Series

A collection is a group of related NFTs that share common themes, artwork, or attributes. It's like a series of trading cards or stamps that belong to the same set.

A collection refers to a group of related NFTs that share common characteristics, themes, or attributes, typically created by the same artist or project team. Collections enable organized discovery and trading of related digital assets.

How NFT Collections Work

Shared attributes include similar artwork styles, character traits, or thematic elements that unify the collection.

Limited quantities create scarcity through predetermined maximum supply or generation constraints.

Rarity systems assign different values to collection items based on trait combinations and scarcity levels.
