Many customers ask how many traits they would need to create a specific number of NFTs. Well, the short answer is it depends. It is not easy to say an exact number. We recommend at least 250 traits, preferably more than 300, for a 10K collection based on experience. The simple way to calculate the number of NFTs you can derive from X number of traits is easy. Just multiply the numbers. For instance, if you have four properties with five traits each, the number of NFTs you can get is:
5*5*5*5 = 625
Note that having the same number of traits divided into more properties can generate more unique NFTs for you. If we have 20 traits like the above-mentioned example but divided into two properties instead of four, the output number would be:
10*10 = 100
which is way less than the first number. So having more properties can add to the diversity of your project.
In reality, it’s not that easy. Some factors affect the output number and make calculating the exact number complicated.
