Reinventing Rarity

In our Wall St Dad and upcoming Wall St Mom Collections, we wanted to create a range of NFTs so unique that they could truly reflect the diversity of every mom and dad as best we could capture it.

As a result, unlike many other NFT collections where some common elements occur 10% or even 20%+ of the time, nothing in either collection breaks the low single digits.

And unlike many other NFT collections where the lower tiers start looking almost indistinguishable because they are only differentiated by an element or two, all Wall St Moms and Dads have extreme uniqueness throughout.

Wall St Mom Quick Stats:

13 Skin Tones
50 Backgrounds
235 Outfit options
377 Hair options ( 55 Styles x Up to 8 colors each )
260 Hand held objects
225 Accessories including eyewear, earrings, hats, bags, necklaces
100+ Nail colors, short long and fingerless gloves, tattoos, facial makeup options, and things they’re chomping on.
2000+ Total elements

Vibes has entered the chat.

If everything’s rare, how do you get rarity? That’s where vibes come in. It’s a way for us to have our cake and eat it too. Now we don’t need to artificially limit the variety of elements, just so that people can figure out what’s more valuable.

Vibes are coordinated combinations of elements that are part of a theme.

The more elements in that theme that are present, the higher the rank. Some NFTs have more than one vibe. And in the Wall St Mom collection we have over 100+ Vibe themes.

This adds a layer of depth and complexity to the collection, and allows us to have tons of variety across the board, yet still have a way to determine relative value. This is rarity beyond simple 1/1 mechanics.

Here’s some examples:

Where does VibeRater come in?

No ranking tool on the market has the ability to recognize and calculate rankings beyond simple frequency statistics. So we had to create our own, which does this and more.

BeyondRarity empowers creators to have full control over determining the value of their collections, so they aren’t held hostage by simply how many of something there is. The dark days are over.

More than Vibes: VR’s 3 key unique abilities

1. VIBES

Creators can now create deeper value with coordinated elements in Vibe sets. (Given elements of the same frequency, an NFT can be more valuable the more coordinated its elements are. )

In the Wall St Fam example below, if you have 2 or more of any the baby-themed elements and outfits, the NFT qualifies for the “Baby Whisperer” Vibe. There are 100+ themes in the collection, some with over several dozen possible elements that will constitute a vibe.

2. TRAIT WEIGHTS

Creators can assign different levels of importance to different traits (Are the rarity of eyebrows as important as the rarity of full body gear?)

In the example below, lighter-skinned individuals are more rare in the collection. Should that make them more valuable? Not if TribeX has anything to do with it.

3. UTILITY

They will also be able to assign a utility value, especially useful in Play to Earn games where the value of the elements isn’t determined by how many exist, but rather by its usefulness within the game.

In this Freaks N’ Guilds example below, the “rarity” of low Health doesn’t matter when considering the valuation of the NFT. Players will always pick the NFT with the higher health rating over the token that has a rare health rating.

The reason is an NFT with high health rating has real value inside the play-to-earn game. And the fact that low health is rare is completely irrelevant in this situation.

Ranking is more than a numbers game

NFT project creators and communities need more freedom to determine what’s valuable in a collection, and more often than not, the frequency of something isn’t sufficient.

We’re here to let you know there’s now an option. And we’re inviting you and all other projects to add their own custom values.
