There are 2 main types of NFTs:
- Single edition ( ERC-721) NFTs: Each NFT has its own entry on the marketplace. These are like unique artworks because only one exists. That makes them feel more unique as only one person can own the NFT.
- Multiple edition (ERC-1155) NFTs: These only have one entry on the marketplace but many copies of the NFT are available to be purchased. It's like a serialized print with physical art which makes them easier to buy and trade.
Whether you wish to buy only singular NFTs or only multiple NFTs, you can filter your NFT search so that you explore NFTs that are solely of the edition type that you wish to find.
1: Hover over the "Explore" button on the top of Rarible's home page and then click on "NFTs."
2: Filter options are visible on the left-hand side of the NFT explore page. On this filter bar, click on "Type." The tab will expand and provide you with the choices: "All", "Multiple editions" and "Single edition." Select whichever edition type you wish to find.
