What is a 'Dutch auction' mint format in NFT drops?
Answer: A mint where the price starts high and decreases until all tokens are sold
In a Dutch auction NFT drop, the mint price begins at a high point and drops at set intervals until all NFTs are claimed, helping discover the market-clearing price.
Which of the following best describes 'trait rarity' in a generative NFT collection?
Answer: The statistical frequency with which a specific attribute appears across all tokens in a collection
Trait rarity measures how often a specific attribute (e.g., Gold Background) appears in the full collection, with lower frequency typically correlating to higher perceived value.
What is the key difference between a 1/1 NFT and an edition NFT?
Answer: A 1/1 is a unique single-copy artwork; an edition has multiple identical copies minted
A 1/1 (one-of-one) NFT is minted as a single unique token, while edition NFTs are minted in multiples (e.g., 1/50), with each copy identical in artwork but distinct on-chain.
What is 'airdropping' NFTs?
Answer: Sending NFTs directly to wallet addresses without requiring recipients to purchase them
Airdropping sends NFTs directly to specified wallet addresses for free, often used for community rewards, collaborations, or marketing purposes.
Why do some NFT creators choose to deploy their own custom smart contract rather than using a marketplace's shared contract?
Answer: Custom contracts give creators full control over minting rules, royalties, and contract ownership
A custom smart contract lets the creator set their own mint limits, pricing logic, allowlist rules, and royalty rates without being bound by a marketplace's shared contract terms.
What is 'cross-chain minting' in the NFT space?
Answer: Creating and deploying NFTs on multiple different blockchain networks
Cross-chain minting refers to deploying an NFT collection on more than one blockchain (e.g., Ethereum and Solana), broadening reach to different collector communities.
What is the purpose of the 'animation_url' field in NFT metadata?
Answer: To link to a video, audio, or interactive HTML file as the primary NFT media
The animation_url metadata field points to rich media such as MP4 video, MP3 audio, or an HTML page, allowing NFTs to contain more than a simple static image.
