Overview
HowRare (HowRare.is) is a focused analytics and discovery platform built for the Solana NFT ecosystem. It aggregates public marketplace data and collection metadata to produce a clear leaderboard of the top collections, along with per-collection statistics that matter to collectors and traders. The site is designed to make rarity, liquidity, and market-level insights easily accessible: from a quick glance at floor prices to deeper dives into rarity traits, holders, and items currently for sale.
Core Capabilities
-
Collection Leaderboards: HowRare displays ranked lists of collections with sortable columns for floor price, items, holders, on sale, % on sale, and floor market cap (USD), making it easy to compare projects at a glance.
-
Per-Collection Pages: Each collection has its own page that shows detailed statistics, owner counts, trait distributions, and direct links to marketplace listings. These pages let users inspect rarity distributions and locate rare items within a collection.

Live Comparison & Sorting: The site supports multiple sorting schemes (by floor, items, holders, etc.), enabling side-by-side comparison and trend spotting among the top projects.
