Opensea is the most popular NFT marketplace due to its wide selection of digital assets and ease of use. But, one thing Opensea is missing is the ability to check the rarity of NFTs directly on its platform. So, how do you check the rarity of NFTs on Opensea?
The quickest way to check NFT rarity on Opensea is by downloading the Trait Sniper rarity checker Chrome extension. This tool allows you to view the rarity of every NFT directly on Opensea while you’re browsing. You can also use a rarity checker website, but you will have to leave Opensea.
