NFT attributes help describe your NFT in more detail and play a significant role in the overall value of an NFT. These attributes and other associated metadata are minted with your NFT and help create a perceived sense of rarity.

As NFT attributes play a significant role in the overall value of an NFT, it is important to make your NFT attributes more unique, allowing the formulation of a successful rarity strategy for your NFT.

NFT Attribute Examples

In simple terms, NFT attributes mean the traits, features, characteristics or categories used to differentiate a design when creating an NFT. In practice, NFT attributes are graphical design elements that are layered on top of each other to create an NFT in its final form.

These attributes are valuable aspects that NFT collectors think through before buying an NFT. This is because they will first consider which attributes are the rarest and most valuable in an NFT.


Some common examples of NFT attributes include:

  • Background

  • Colour

  • Body type

  • Skin tone

  • Facial features

  • Clothing

  • Facial expressions

  • Hair / Hairstyle

  • Eyes

  • Ears
