The first trait (attribute) belongs to one of the low priced Mutant Apes, the second trait (attribute) belongs to one of the high priced Mutant Apes. From above, both NFTs have the exact number of characteristics (7), but 2% of all 20,000 NFTs in the collection share 4 characteristics, whereas the first NFT has 2 characteristics. The second NFT is rarer than the first because it only shares 2% NFT in the collection. The nature of these percentages represents the rarity of each trait. If an NFT shares most of its traits with 2% or less of the NFTs in your collection, that rarity scorecard will rank higher than others.
Some NFT collections may have minimum rarity percentages above 2%. maybe 5% or more. What determines this is the minimum percentage for each collection.
