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

In a tweet, NFT marketplace OpenSeaannouncedthe implementation of OpenRarity, a protocol that provides verifiable rarity calculations for NFTs within its platform. The protocol uses a transparent mathematical approach to calculating rarity.

OpenSea said that rare NFTs will be awarded lower numbers like 1 or 2, while NFTs that have attributes 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 automatically 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 collaborative effort between various NFT community entities, including Curio, icy.tools, OpenSea and Proof. The goal is to standardize the rarity methodology and provide consistent rarity rankings across all NFT platforms.

The NFT marketplace also recentlylaunched an initiativethat 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. Apart from these, creators can also add a countdown clock and allow collectors to receive email alerts to remind them of the mint.

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

JosĂ© Delbo sent me his striking pencil sketch and powerful inked work, which I then interpreted in oil on canvas. I wanted to create a very painterly piece with obvious brush marks etc, but I was also aiming for a nostalgic feel, a kind of 1980’s superhero comic book look, the kind I grew up with. My goal with this animation was to try to recreate, in part, the creative process that both artists went through with the visual information I had. I was able to showcase my painting process more accurately as I could take photographs of my progress throughout. Consecutive images could then be layered like brush strokes over José’s drawing to create the impression that this was one continuous artwork from pencil, to ink, to completed painting. The representation of the line sketch at the beginning, then pencil/ink and lastly the paint layers being applied demonstrate both artists’ struggle for the right lines, tone, form, and colour until the work is finally completed. As the oil was still wet with each photograph the glare of my studio lights can be seen in the brush strokes. Eventually, the figure emerges and as it does, our hero comes to life, looking directly at the viewer -- but is he grimacing in approval or disgust? We will never know for sure as just before he can say anything, white paint is brushed across the canvas entirely and the process begins again. Only the bat is quick enough to escape.
